I get this question ALOT.. how to setup an Amigadrive from UAE.
so instead of answering multiple times.. I do this guide.
Here I do a quick setup of UAE and install a STANDARD WB 3.1 installation, no fancy stuff or so. just plain standard. and then prepare a disk and copy the installation to it so it can be placed in an Amiga and boot. this will also mean NO support for larger disks etc. maybe a later time.
First let start WinUAE:
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
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:
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).
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:
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:
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)
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:
Well. We all know about the “new” Phase5.. he sold me 2 of the Blizzard PPC2 PCBs that I found out was faulty.. no ground connected. and he refused to refund or send new working pcbs.
And at Amiga32 he showed the Blizzard 1260 PCBs. saying that they would go to production any day.
now still one year after.. no production. so this summer I started to actually do a reverse engineer of it, just like I done with the A3640 and Amiga 1200..
I decided to do a writeup of my build of my personal ReAmiga 1200 using NOS parts.
my plan was first to tell exactlty where all signals get up etc. but unfortunally this would simply take so extremly much time so I do more like “function by function” instead.
First, I decided that I wanted to go all BLACK!
