Today, I continue onto Part 3 of the Amiga 500 build. You can click on Part 1 and Part 2 blog entries to get up to speed on the considerable work already done!
I am focused now on the setup of a AmigaOS 1.3/3.1/3.2.2 switchable configuration, and getting the Amiga 500 online with the ACA500 Ethernet module (X-Surf 500).
Following on from my previous blog entry about my new Amiga 500 build, I have done a lot more with the Amiga 500 build since then, and wanted to cover it, along with looking at the new Tank mouse which arrived this week!
Although it is well known that I am a big Amiga fan, I also have a lot of love for the Commodore 64, which I still have and actively use in 2023.
There is a lot of new release games, demos and even a new operating system for the Commodore 64 in 2023 to enjoy. So today I wanted to shine a light on the amazing world of Commodore 64 in 2023!
Lately I have been working on a new Amiga 500 build. I decided to pick up a second hand Amiga 500 locally to use for the build, and upgraded it with a bunch of updates which I will cover in this blog post.
It is very cool that in 2023 I can now use real Amiga floppy disks on my Alienware Windows 11 gaming PC, booting using WinUAE.
I can also run a X-Copy clone software called G-Copy to copy ADF and IPF amiga floppy disk images to real floppy disks. All thanks to Greaseweazle V4 hardware and some cool software!
Well, first up, my apologies for such a late first blog post for 2023. To say this year has been crazy busy has been an understatement.
I have been travelling overseas since after Christmas 2022 in Japan and Czech Republic, and only really came back to some normality around 2 weeks ago when I finally returned home.
For my final blog post of 2022, I decided to take a quick look at the recently released C64OS from OpCoders, a brand new operating system for the Commodore 64!
It's been a while since I covered happenings in the AmigaOS 4 world, so I thought it was about time to fix that and give my AmigaOne X1000 system some much needed love!
Would you believe me if I told you that you can buy new release dedicated Amiga magazines in your local newsagent in 2022?
Well, you can. Amiga Addict magazines are now available in your local Australian and UK newsagents, and likely in other countries as well. Here it is in a local Adelaide newsagent this week.
