Building the perfect A2000: part 3
In this episode of our A2000 project build, we look at keeping pace with both software, and hardware development from Commodore. How will we ensure we’re up to date? And more importantly, how much will it cost? Read on!
DiagROM through the CD32 Aux port
John Hertell’s DiagROM is one of the most useful tools for anyone involved in Amiga repair. But did you know it works on the CD32 too? Here we find the hidden serial port, and show you how to make a cable.
Exploring solid-state SCSI solutions
Here we look at three options for replacing a SCSI hard drive in an Amiga with something more modern. All three set out to do the same thing but in very different ways.
From plus to plusplus (part 2)
Following part 1, now it’s time to look at the build itself and give you a bit of an insight into what skills are needed; perhaps even help you decide whether this project is one you could look at building yourself.
The Amiga 300
The Amiga 300 is officially a model that doesn’t exist. You won’t find it on any old adverts, in a museum, or on the shelf of your collection. Or will you? There is a chance you have one, but you just don’t realise. As one has just come into the Pure Amiga workshop for a bit of refurbishment, we thought it an ideal time to find out a bit more about it.
Storm in a Pi Cup
Accelerator prices are climbing faster than ever, but at the same time powerful multicore chips are in every room of the house. Let’s take a look at a project that aims to marry these two facts together
Burn your own Kickstart
With the release of AmigaOS 3.2, we’re looking into how you can burn your own ROMs and what equipment you’ll need.
A4000 Resurrection
Pure Amiga recently gained a new machine to the collective collection, in the shape of an Amiga 4000. It formed part of a bulk collection made by Phil, and although I’m lucky enough to own one it was still a gap in his retro portfolio so space was made, it all worked first time and that’s the end of this post.
From plus, to plusplus (part 1)
Somewhere deep in every landfill site, an A500+ sits with rotting food waste smeared into the keyboard, many miles away from where it last enjoyed a game of Monkey Island or played a few music modules. Step in, the A500++
