I saw something very special a few days ago, no it wasn’t Santa but it was almost as good as that, it was a post from Daniel Lakey that announced the release of a brand new game for the Amiga. What was so special about this was that he made this game for his son […]

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

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:

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).

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:

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:

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)

I’ve always been a diligent student, so my parents never complained if I was spending too much time in front of my Commodore 128. After all, it actually was the mid-’80s and I was attending a tech school to get a diploma in computer science. Other kids were not as lucky since it is indeed […]

Support AMIGA alive, and get something useful along the way!

If you like these pages and want to support AMIGA alive, you can now buy a mousepad with the epic "AMIGA alive" Cinema4D rendered title picture.

Size: ~23 x 19cm, 5mm thick
Material: spong rubber, textile

Find it on eBay Germany:

Well I know I told I would not write more about Phase5..

Just a quick update.

Salvador. the “owner” that also have been banned from Facebook. (both personally and companypage)

he have done (C) strikes about me on FB from fake accounts and Youtube.  I have reported those claims as fake. but it is hard to talk to something else than BOTs..

So videos of me sanding the bppc PCB showing it is lacking connected ground etc is removed.

HOWEVER!  they are all saved:  so links to them from my local own server:

Tis the season to be jolly :) Around 2008 I remember fondly working with "Amiga Inc" on a few projects and here is a little teaser of my work with them. This information though might only be available members of my Patreon :) 

If you don't remember "Bruce Lee" from the Commodore 64 you shouldn't even be here. If you do, on the other hand, rejoice!

Ok, if you don't remember "Bruce Lee", you're of course still free to rejoice, too: One of theee classic C64 games of all time has been remade as "Tiger Claw", originally for the C64, and is now being commercially released for the Amiga! (And Windows, MacOS, Linux, btw.)

I’ve always been a videogame lover, possibly even before fully understanding what a computer really was. Back in those days though, mainly due to memory constraints, games mostly came in the form of platformers, maze-runners or fast-paced shooters, all genres that I never learned to master…. As a direct result, I never really played that […]

Today for my last blog post for 2018 I am taking a quick look at the installation of the recently released AmigaOS 3.1.4 by Hyperion Entertainment on my Amiga 500.
