Building the ReAmiga 3000 – Part 2
Time for part 2.. Unfortunally i screwed up the pictures. so I had to do another board and build it up to get decent step-by-step pictures.
This is the new board:

Building the ReAmiga 3000 – Part 1
This is my text-version (and slightly revided) guide how to build an ReAmiga 3000 that I did as a youtube videoseries shown at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6acm2dXSDzo
This tutorial works for my A3000 clone, and both the SMD and TH versions. (but my photos is from the SMD version)
The SMD version. is called like this that all passives etc is SMD. still chips etc is as it is on the original A3000, TH.
More Amigadrama and weird domainregistrations
This weekend I noticed a post on Facebook in the “Commodore Amiga” group.
It was simply Amigapassion making a note that if you went to www.amigapassion.com you was redirected to Amigakit webshop.
Now this is simply put very not ok. As most of you might know. amigapassion (on real site: https://www.amigapassion.co.uk/ ) offers repairs of Amigacomputers. so does amigakit.
A WinUAE guide to setup a physical disk for Amiga
I get this question ALOT.. how to setup an Amigadrive from UAE.
so instead of answering multiple times.. I do this guide.
Here I do a quick setup of UAE and install a STANDARD WB 3.1 installation, no fancy stuff or so. just plain standard. and then prepare a disk and copy the installation to it so it can be placed in an Amiga and boot. this will also mean NO support for larger disks etc. maybe a later time.
First let start WinUAE:
Building the ReAmiga from scratch. Part5 Final part!
ok this part is more about the extras etc.
First we have some weird A1200 “extras”. as you might have noticed I missed one transistor and one diode at the parallelport:
Looking at schematics
Building the ReAmiga from scratch. Part4
Ok.
Now when we have a minimal setup. Lets fix an issue that will make the machine unstable. especially when no monitor attaced:
Add a 74HCT244 at U32:
Lets do some tests. first a CIA test:
Building the ReAmiga from scratch. Part3
So lets add memory. This is also a quite tricky part of the ReAmiga project as the distance between the chips is making it harder to handsolder.
This is how I am doing it:
First I tin all pads:
Add flux ontop of it and put a memorychip on U18 (thats the location of the top).
Building the ReAmiga from scratch. Part2
Time to get some code running on this.
Time to get this board to a state that I call “minimum startup” it means this is the minimum population of components needed to get Diagrom to start.
First add the Keyboard MPU:
Building the ReAmiga from scratch. Part1
I decided to rewrite my post about how to build an ReAmiga from scratch. It simply was too much work to do it resistor by resistor..
So first, I decided what board to use. And well Black is nice. so that I will use here aswell:
ReAmiga 1200 Erratapost
This is the Errata post of the ReAmiga project.
DO Check this post if you are doing soldering of ANY revision of the ReAmiga. as this page might change if stuff is found etc.
it works like this: in the title I write what I fond as issues. so if you have a Rev 1.0 board. you need to read the 1.0 header. do those fixes. AND also add fixes for 1.1, 1.2 etc.. (unless mentioned in the text)
ReAmiga Rev 1.0 TESTVERSION (note this is the TESTVERSION it have this also printed on the PCB! to NOT mix with the released Rev 1.0)
