MagBash 2008: Video Report by Ravi Abbott
Hi everyone,
Wings Battlefield
In my last blog post I described that one of the perks of being part of a small community is the ease in getting to know the important people. Last time it spoke about the porting wiz Szilárd “BSzili” Biró. This time it’s Daniel Müßener, also known as Daytona675x.
migrated website to a new host
Over the last week, I migrated this blog to a new hosting provider. GoDaddy was such a pig and the site just ran like molasses when hosted by them. I couldn’t be happier with the switch that I’ve made, but I could very well have broke something that I haven’t realized yet. If there were resources that you were using but are no longer available, please leave a comment, and I’ll fix them up.
Thanks
My SAM 460CR has arrived
With the problems with my X1000 still being worked on at AmigaKit/Varisys, the past four weeks have highlighted to me how much I miss having the X1000 around.
As an update my X1000 board is now been handed over to Varisys (who make the X1000 boards) to work out what is happening with it.

Hi everyone,
Reading Amiga Kickstart ROMs with a TL866A reader
I recently bought a TL866A from ebay with a bunch of adapters for a little under $100 shipped. Seems like a decent programmer except for the fact that it doesn’t support the 27C200/27C400 mask ROMs that hold Kickstart. Some alternatives floating around seemed to indicate that the 27C240 was pretty close, but the pinout was different.
I created an adapter to convert the pinouts.
The parts I used were:

Amiga 1000 Comspec 2MB AX2000 with Kickstart 2.0 Beta
I finally received my 2MB Comspec AX2000 expansion module for my Amiga 1000 from Canada this week. I was very keen to try it out, and to finally try to run Workbench 2.0 on my Amiga 1000 with it!

Update to Rigol CSV to OLS file conversion post
A couple years ago I posted some information on how to convert a Rigol CSV to an OLS File.
I recently got a request for some more information.
So let’s look at the two files

This arrived in the post today from AmigaKit
My X1000 sent to AmigaKit and MorphOS temp replacement
A quick update that after some working with the AmigaKit techs last week on troubleshooting, it has been determined that my AmigaOne X1000 board cannot be fixed here - it looks like a power issue possibly caused by the brief power outage while flashing the CFE but can't be sure yet.
