Only A500 and A1200. But also own the CDTV and CD32.

Yep, an A500, an 500+, an A600 and three A1200s in various stages of repair, see the "first Amiga" poll for more lowdown as I would just be repeating myself.

Yep. An A500, A600 and an A600HD. Also three PCs (only one in use) two C64s, a C128 and I think a Sharp MZ-700 which I believe is sitting in the attic at my grandmother's, unless it's been binned. I plan to try and find it one day. Old and completely useless system, which is half the fun!

An A600 which won't read any disks at the moment (going to have to have another go at getting it working) and an A1200.

I currently have three Amigas. One Amiga 1200, one 500, and one CD32. I mostly use the Amiga 1200 for Demoscene purposes.

Have an A1200, with a 4.3gb hard drive.

Plus the PSP running UAEPSP, and my PCs.

Two A1200s.
One in use and one in bits.
Also have a C64.
No pc although there is one in the house.
It belongs to the missus.

A500 in the loft at my Mum's house. Last time i tried it the graphics output was a bit shifty, certain games had really flickery sprites which it didn't do before.

Harrison
14th May 2007, 14:49
Did you have the A500 connected via the crappy external modulator? If so that's probably the only reason for the graphics looking a bit crap. Those A520 modulators don't tend to last as long as the actual Amigas and definitely don't like loft conditions.

J T
14th May 2007, 14:54
I was using the A520 modulator yes, but remembered that even new, they were rubbish. So to test it I tried using the monochrome composite output on the back of the A500 and the sprite flickering still occured. It was odd as some games didn't do it at all, but others did it like crazy (and some games would be fine for a bit, then shifty for a bit, seemingly at random).

Harrison
14th May 2007, 15:38
Sounds like a dry joint on one of the custom chips. Or some condensation in the system.

J T
14th May 2007, 16:53
The loft was very warm and dry so shouldn't be condensation (it could be, but unlikely I suppose) so a dry joint sounds very possible. I did the old flexing the case trick as I heard it can help the chips fall back into their seat if they have popped out slightly - but then somone else said that this was a bit of a myth.

Either way, I'm not overly fussed at the moment, I have UAE fo any pressing Ami needs. Maybe I'll open it up and have a look but the chances are I'd struggle to find a problem let alone fix it.

Harrison
14th May 2007, 17:00
The old case flexing trick was for the Atari ST, and did often work. Mine got a bit flaky towards the end of its life and that did often get it to work.

Still have an A500, and A1200 w/ 120 MB harddrive somewhere. I haven't touched either of them in a looong time (and I seriously doubt they even work anymore), but I'm tempted to give them a try again one of these days.

Then, there's the problem of the floppy disks - still have boxes full of them, but I bet at least 90% of them have become unreadable by now :)

Harrison
2nd July 2007, 15:11
You might be surprised. Most of my old disks still work perfectly and I bet at leas the A1200 still works. The A500 might, but they tend to suffer a bit more and have some motherboard or chip issues.

Hi Sharingan,

Do you have any old obscure demos, packs, intros or any other demoscene related stuff in those boxes? Would be very interested to hear about it. ;)

I'd have to dig through my stash one of these days to take a looksee. I wasn't particularly into collecting demos - the only group I collected stuff from was Andromeda (if I remember the name alright). I might be surprised at what I have lingering about though :)

Teho
3rd July 2007, 20:33
Completely off topic, but if you were interested in Andromeda back in the day then you might like to know they made a comeback this year, releasing a PC demo called Noumenon which came second at Breakpoint back during easter. That's their first production released ever since Nexus 7 in '94. And it's the original members that's behind it too, not just new guys borrowing an old name. Have a look (http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=30253), it's pretty good.

Puni/Void
3rd July 2007, 20:53
It's great news that Andromeda is back again. The breakpoint demo was very good and it seems like the audience thought the same, as it received a second place in the competition. A funny thing though; If one takes a look at the results from Breakpoint 2007 for example, you can quickly see many of the old Amiga groups participating (and dominating!) in the PC demo competition. Farbrausch, with old Amiga coder Chaos, won the compo. Second place went to Andromeda, one of the best Amiga groups of all time. You've also got Brainstorm on the 4th place, while Nuance on 7th, Loonies from Denmark on the 8th and Anadune from Poland on the 9th place. A bit Amiga domination in the compo for sure. :D

Anyway, wish Andromeda would release something for the Amiga in the style of Nexus 7.

I don't like PC demos very much, as nowadays everything is technically possible in demos, meaning it's just like painting a picture and the most beautiful one wins.

Puni/Void
3rd July 2007, 21:05
You are right about that. The PC's are so powerful these days, that it isn't really making the most out of the machine that counts or stretching it to its limits. You can clearly see that in the PC demos. Seems groups are focusing a whole lot more on design, but the effects remains pretty much the same as a few years ago. It is totally different on the C64. Barriers are broken even today!! I read some new on C64 demosite, and there was actually a sprite-barrier or something that had been broken this year. Truly amazing and an example of what democrews can be capable of. The ZX Spectrum scene is also incredly good - have seen a lot of prods through emulator, and its amazing what they can get out of the old machine.

Demon Cleaner
3rd July 2007, 21:15
Getting out the most of a 8 or 16 bit machine is the real challenge, and that is what I really enjoy and like to see. But some PC demos are nicely done, cannot moan about that. But I still prefer a 3 level scrolling over PC power graphics demos.

Teho
3rd July 2007, 21:22
This is exactly why Noumenon is so good though. It is made in the style of the old days, showing of some neat coding tricks instead of focusing totally on design like modern PC demos. That screenshot on Pouet you see if you follow the earlier link for example is an infinite 3D zoomer. It keeps going and going forever into that object. Pretty impressive to look at, and there are several more effects in it that are pretty cool ideas as well.

You do need a pretty powerful PC for it run good though.

Harrison
4th July 2007, 01:42
I really liked Noumenon and the infinite 3D fractal zoom was a fascinating section of the demo.

As for PC demos compared to the scene on older 8 and 16 bit systems. I am as much a fan of the PC demo scene as I am of the Amiga and other older systems.

While it is true that today's PCs are very powerful compared to older machines it does allow for something different. With older systems the amazement and fun comes from seeing some effects created by pushing the hardware beyond what was thought possible. The recent translation of am Amiga demo to the C64 is a good example of this and that really did blow me away by how much they managed to retain of the original Amiga version. In comparison PC productions can instead explore imagination and creativity and allows the groups to explore their thoughts and ideas fully without too many restrictions.

However I do still believe there is still a boundary with the PC as the hardware can be pushed to the limit if tried and some amazing particle and 3D effects can be created which look amazing.

The Demo Scene on any platform is for me true moving art, Much more so than games or any other visual and audio based form on a computer.

Just thought it would be great to get some pictures of A1200 tower conversions that I can then use for the main site's hardware section. Should inspire others to want to do the same, especially if the images include the full spec, with information about each piece of hardware used.

The one thing that is very hard to find anything about online is A1200 tower conversions.

TiredOfLife

There are some basic guides on Aminet, if memory serves.
It all depends on how much you are prepared to do yourself.
Using all standed PC stuff is cheaper but harder.

Yep got an A1200 around the place with ClassicWB on. Great for the occasional game or nostalgia trip.

A PC is just an evil necessity though - they're far too convenient and cheap not to have at least one, plus the emulators available are fantastic.

Also I have a couple of other broken A1200s (one of which I nicked the floppy drive out of when the one in my current 1200 stopped working) and an A500+ which also went on strike a few years ago.

I've heard the Amiga emulation on the GP2x is pretty good. Does it run quite fast with good sound emulation? I use the Amiga emulator on the PSP and that runs a lot of stuff at full speed now but still does suffer from some slowdown in specific games.

I've only just got the a3000 so am part way through a refurb but at the moment its got a Cybervision 643d card, ram expansion and a buddha card which connects to a 40gb hard drive and a cdrom.
Oh and a very talented person off another amiga forum is making me a simm adaptor for a full 16mb of ram.

All my other machines are more or less standard.

I see that your 1200 has a lot of expansions, which includes the Subway USB controller. Was this controller easy to install, and is it stable and reliable? Would love to have USB on my Amiga, as it would be much easier to use cheap hardware for various tasks. ;)

My 1200 had the full clockport so i had to bend a few pins out the way to get the subway connector on.

And in use I have found it to be stable and reliable, transfering files between my pc and the 1200 has never been easier :)

Thanks for the info concerning the Subway USB, Eroom. Is it compatible with most USB hardware, or are there some stuff that doesn't work?

eroom
8th April 2008, 16:51
The only things I've tried it with are mice and flash drives which of the ones that I tried all work perfectly.

The difference in transfering files from my pc to the 1200 via the flash drive instead of burning a disc etc is worth the price of the subway alone :D.

Cant try anything else at the moment as i've got the 1200 in bits trying to figure out how to add some extra cooling for the 040.

Cheers :thumbs:
Paul.

Harrison
8th April 2008, 16:59
The 040 is quite hard to provide adequate cooling for when installed in a standard desktop A1200 case. I remember many people used to raise the system up higher on some legs to give more air flow under the case, and install a case fan in the trapdoor.

Buleste
8th April 2008, 21:16
The guy i bought my PPC board from added a heatsink and a fan onto the 040 chip which added about 2 inches so it could never fit into a desktop at all but it never overheats. I do remember when i did have a desktop and an 040 that it was almost unusable due to the overheating.

This is all very familiar to me, as I was in the exact same situation. Tried the thing you mentioned with raising the computer on legs to provide air flow, and if I remember correctly, it helped a bit. Did also use a small fan for a while, which was attached to the turbo-card. The problem was that it was incredibly loud, and I just couldn't bare having it installed over time.

I thought the A500+ was only released in 1990/91? Commodore first started to sell them secretly with them appearing instead of the standard A500 in the same packaging so many new owners were quite surprised when they opened up their new Amiga to find an updated version.

Yep. It has the C= keys instead of the A keys.
Unfortunately, the keyboard is a little iffy, the processor in the keyboard sometimes crashes and then the keyboard stops working until a cold boot. This can be told by the fact that the Caps Lock light is flashing on and off, but I'm reluctant to replace it, as it's a rare (ish) model.

coze

actually, one of the reasons that A3000 is getting more use is A3000 has Classic Workbench installed and A4000 has OS 3.9 and OS 4.0 classic. Classic Workbench is much more useful (well for gaming and basic browsing/downloading) than the other two.

Darn you Bloodwych you killed my A4000 ! :lol:
Actually I have the Cwb OS 3.9 package, and I set it up in WinUAE too, but haven't gotten around to getting it on the A4000. Or did I :unsure: I really should fire up that miggy and see what's going on :p (just no time)

Sorry coze. Your A4000 will be putting a price on my head. Quickly give it some use or I'm in for it from some silent assassin! :ninja:

Of course I still have my precious first Amiga 600 I got on the 19 november of 1993, plus 2 x 1200's "saved" from my friends from back-in-the-days that have no idea how fun it still is. :thumbs:
Plus a PC.

Yes I do own an Amiga.. (Just recently picked up a 2000HD just like the one I had as a teenager!)
Along with this machine I have 5 PC desktop machines with various versions of Windows on them... Everything from 98 all the way to Vista... Several multiboot boxes in there that have Various flavors of Linux on them... My current favorite is Ubuntu Studio.. Jaunty Jackalope... Pretty good stuff Jaunty is!

I also have 4 or 5 laptops also with different flavors of Windows and one with SLES11 on it just for the Hell of it...

On the MAC side of things I have two MACS.. Both of them older PPC boxes (Can pick these up fairly cheap) One is a 450MHZ Graphite PowerMAC and the other a newer dual-processor PowerMac with the aluminum chassis... NICE

All of the above-mentioned machines are networked together in an AD domain with support for Samba so I can still use/see/share files with the Linux boxes as well as the MACS.

I also have one lonely MorphOS Efika box that I can't seem to get connected to the network. (Trying to setup Samba on this box is a BITCH and getting usable documentation is nearly impossible...)

And now one lonely Amiga that I just ordered a new flicker fixer for... Eventually want to update this machine so I can run Amiga OS 3.5 and connect it to the rest of my network, but THAT is quite a ways down the road... :thumbs:

I own mostly Amigas but I also own an Aros netbook, which is a PC but it doesn't have Windows on it!

I have loads of spare PCs, and I did run through the AROS hardware support list and do have all supported hardware for the OS, so I really should build a dedicated AROS box to play around with the OS properly. At the moment I've just got it installed as a virtual machine on my main emulation PC.

AROS has seen a lot of progress during the last couple of years. Now they even have two "official" computers for the system. The iMica and the Ares ONE. Good to see that the development continues. Seems like there is a lot happening in the world of Amiga these days.

As for myself, I'm still using the Amiga. Right now I'm posting this using a SAM440EP and AmigaOS 4.1.1. :thumbs: The motherboard is housed in a small mini-ITX case with a big SATA HD, DVD and a wireless network card. Works like a charm. :cool: Accessing this forum through the Origyn Web Browser.

Hi Harrison,

Thanks for your kind words my friend. :)

Well, now is my only one OS 4.1 machine. I have also the 4.1 Classic, but after a lot of tests, I decide to abandon this idea and use only 1.3-3.x on my Classic Amigas.

The Sammy is a great machine and capable to navigate fast & smooth on Internet, make little office tasks and play great titles like Quake II, Descent FreeSpace and others at incredible fast speed & image quality.

The only negative point, for me, is the onboard sound...... but after the instalation of one SBLive 5.1 .... all my music (mp3 320kbps 44-48Khz) sounds "like a charm".... :)

Also I include this machine on my LAN and FTP apps and other apps works great...

Classic games?... Not problem, under WHDLoad and RUNIUAE all my games runs without probs....

In Amiga Words.... is a little beast :) and I use it everyday :)

Best wishes

Hi

I don't know.... I answered and appears a message like "your post need to be approved by one Moderator..." or something like that......

Well, that's that taken care of. ;)

Sorry merlin, there's a system in place here that picks up on some keywords in the first couple of posts a user makes that will hold up the post in the moderation queue. This is because of some trouble we've had with spambots. Sometimes it catches legit posts like yours now, but it's only active for the first few posts you make (since spambots rarely make more than two-three posts) so it probably won't happen to you again. Sorry about that.
