FrameThrower: RGMtoHDMI adapter now also for Amiga 600

Following the Amiga 500 and 2000 models, the FrameThrower adapter is now also available in a version for the Amiga 600. FrameThrower is a PiStorm expansion that allows the Amiga’s RGB signals to be output directly by an HDMI interface.

However, audio transmission is not yet implemented in the software; this is expected to be added later.

Another computer (#Amiga #A600) I brought home from last fair. Time to crack it open and check the caps situation. Came from the same source as the 500+ that already had the battery replaced, so I wonder if they did already swap the caps here.

Overhauling an Amiga 600.

#retrocomputing #amiga #commodore #a600

Some time ago I acquired a haul of Commodore stuff - fresh from the attic.

Usually I's not doing C= these days, but I had an A2000 during university ... sooo

The haul consisted of a
- highly modded C=64
- A600
- A1200
and
- A2000

Since then I am working on restoring them and the A600 is about to be finished ... only wating for sun to retrobright the keycaps.
It was a journey.
- cleaning the case
- replaced all SMDs with polymer caps
- hat to diagnose a non-working mouse/joystick ... turned out to be a defective LS157
- new membrane for the keyboard
- implanting a HD
- servicing the floppy, didn't note changes and was erratic in reading disks
- repairing the A601 RAM/RTC (exploded battery)
and, last step ...
- replacing the broken off clips

So - almost done. My plan is to sell off the A600 (and later the A1200 to new happy owners to cross-finance the A2000 ;).

In a detailed testimonial, 'Epsilon' describes the installation of a PiStorm 600 in his A600 and his experiences with compatibility and the graphics card screen modes it offers.

I skipped the #16bit era and went straight from 8 to 32 bits. I'm taking huge delight in rediscovering it now!

I got started in computing with an #Atari800, and was aware that the #Amiga was the spiritual successor to the former machine. I've since picked up an #A600 (unloved when it was released, a great bit of kit in retrospect) which I'm making friends with.

What's surprised me though is the dearth of introductory documentation for the Amiga. Take a look at this documentation I got with this #Atari520STFM: An Owner's Manual and a three volume Discovery Pack.

Can someone point me at equivalent documentation for the #Amiga600, please?

Don't think this is salvageable. Need at least a new membrane.
On a side note. Does anyone knows a good reseller for a recap kit for an a600?

New replacement Amiga 600 cases from A1200.net

Just a gauging of interest in the project at this point, no orders
A1200.net says they would need to be able to sell 800 for a minimum production order

Head over and comment

@neongod

At least there are replacement cases. Does not A1200.ner have cases in original color?

I would like to have #a600 cases but there seem to be none. Only refurbished ones.

#Commodore #Amiga #A600 has best keyboard layout ever…

Just thought I'd drop in on your Monday morning! Hope everyone has a great day! 🤗💾🕹
