I was sent an Amiga 2000.  The powersupply on it died.

So how to fix this?  well. you can put in an modern ATX Powersupply. So I did, and this is a short writeup of how to do it.

First of all, as most (all?) modern ATX PSUs do not contain the -5V signal, you will have problems using some ISA cards if you use a bridgeboard.  but as this is not a very common usage, this will not be a big problem.

So, first, remove your old PSU and open it.

IMPORTANT! do NOT touch the big capacitors on the A2000 PSU or the ATX one.

It has been a busy couple of weeks. First I have been working hard to make my new Mac Mini the way I want it by cleaning it up extensively after restoring my backup. But now it’s pretty much done.

So, I haven’t posted much lately due to being busy but also not seeing much that I wanted to comment upon.

I am very glad to say that today I now finally have Warp3D Southern Island drivers working under AmigaOS4.1 Final Edition on my Sam460CR!

It has now been three years since I started this Amiga X1000 blog!

As I hit the 3 year mark, I do sincerely hope this blog has been useful and helpful in helping other X1000 owners to enjoy their systems more.

Hi guys,

Just a quick one from the Amiga 30 Years event in Amsterdam. Radzik of AMIcast has provided streams from the event through the Periscope function on Twitter. Check it here. The official stream failed several times and many couldn’t get it to work at all. Radzik saved the day for many Amiga enthusiasts, so big thanks must go out to him. :)

Hi everyone,

The Amiga 30 Years event takes place in Amsterdam today. Below you’ll find the schedule for the event. There will be live streaming. :)

I just wanted to mention that I’m a backer on this kickstarter, and I just wanted to get the word out.

In case you haven’t noticed it yet, MorphOS 3.9 is out since yesterday. This is a typical bugfix release, so there isn’t much news here (except for an update of OpenSSL). You can read the release notes here and download the ISO here.

The is also an updated SDK (Software Development Kit) which contains improvements. You can also download it from here.

Although busy working on his Dizzy-like-adventure "Dylan The Spaceman", Chris Clarke has taken time out from developing this game to begin work on a side-scrolling shoot-em-up, provisionally titled "Kingdoms of Steam".

Here's Chris;

Those of you who grew up playing classic text adventures such as The Ship of Doom and The Hobbit, may be interested to learn that a new text adventure has just been released for the Amiga.
