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)
Zork 1. The Great Underground Empire Review
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 […]

Sigh.. Phase5 .. AGAIN
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:
The chicken is back: "Tiger Claw" released!
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.)
