External monitor with a Powerbook

A Powerbook is quite a good choice for a MorphOS machine. The top of the line have a 1.67 GHz processor, up to 2 GB RAM (1.5 will be available for the user), have a Radeon 7000 with 128 MB VRAM and also a high definition 17″ screen that handles 1680×1050. The only downside is it’s weak USB ports, and the fact that there is only two of them. Don’t expect to get power hungry devices such as HDD:s working via a hub. And they are quite a hazzle to upgrade with new RAM and HDD.

So I purchased a mini-box picoPSU-120 kit which is in essence a very very small power supply that provides multiple regulated voltages. I want to power my Commodore Amiga 500 with the tiny power supply but there’s potentially a big problem with using it out of the box: the -12v rail seems to be out of spec. It’s not being properly regulated to -12v.

A new work space

For several weeks now me and my wife have been busy redecorating our apartment in order to maximize our living space. It took a good while, but we are finally reaching the end. So I bought myself a new computer work space and chair. It’s much roomier than before:
