  1. COMMODORE COULDNT KILL IT, GATEWAY COULDNT KILL IT, EVEN PUBLIC IGNORANCE AND APATHY COULDNT KILL IT. IT'S....
    THE AMIGA THAT WOULDN'T
    DIE!

  2. At long last -- my Amiga 2000 has a CPU speed switch!

    ( Fast and Faster )

    A "new" 40MHz 68030/882 accelerator with 8MB 32-bit FAST RAM is slotted in and wired with a switch, there on the front. Base 68000 system has 8MB 16-bit FAST RAM, a respectable fallback for cycle-exact OCS/ECS demos.

  3. Nice and all this renewed #Amiga logo, but what are the rules around this? Will they now be able to go after people that use the old artwork, but consider it as an infringement?

  4. All issues resolved. The 40MHz 68030 accelerator is installed and working in the A2000.

    Here's a victory video of Black Lotus' 2019 OCS/ECS Amiga scenedemo 'Eon'. I am unsure if anyone will get the irony of this video, but the spark of that irony is what motivated this CPU upgrade from the Commodore 68020 board I was running before.

  5. Cracked open the Amiga 2000 and am moving from a 14MHz 68020 to a 40MHz 68030, and increasing FAST RAM in both 16-bit Zorro II space and 32-bit extended space.

    The "new" accelerator is a GVP G-Force 030 (Impact A2000-030 Combo Series II) with 8MB 32-bit FAST RAM and 68882 FPU.

    This board has a jumper allowing it to be fully disabled, which I will bring out to a toggle switch (for cycle-exact 68000 scenedemos).

  6. Currently working on a "blind tracker" mode for the Drumlogue, so besides playback of #protracker and #octamed, it can also edit the file directly on the device. The issue is; there is no front panel access for feedback. I can only use parameters to change mode, channels, etc. but even row is an issue in a way if I step... as the parameter is one-way. Suggestions are welcome

  7. After lengthy and somewhat casual searching, I've found and purchased (eBay) an accelerator with (critically) a hardware disable for my Amiga 2000, a GVP G-Force 030 with 40MHz 68030/882.

    It just occurred to me that, oddly, this will be the first 68030 that I've ever had in the house.

    68000, 68010, 68020, 68040, 68060 - yes, but never a 68030.

    (Currently using an A2620 14MHz 68020/882/851 in the CPU slot.)

  8. I recently came to understand I have one of the last Amiga 2000s to roll off the assembly line.

    - Revision 6.4 motherboard
    - Agnus: 318069-17 8375 (NTSC) from Sept '92
    - Denise: 390433-02 8373R4PD from Sept '92
    - Paula: 252127-02 8364R7PD from Sept '92

    I bought it as part of a lot of 35 or so new-in-box A2000s I found on usenet back in the year 2000. The shipping took much longer than expected, so the seller threw in an ASDG Dual Serial board as a bonus for me.
