      @amigaretro4765 2 місяці тому

      No calculations were used. Amiga OS > 3.1 defaults t0 80 versus the usual 30 (for FFS). I guess they assume you would have more system memory available in this day and age. SFS recommends 200 buffers. This can eat a bit of memory if have multiple partitions that use this filesystem.

    • @amigaretro4765
      @amigaretro4765 2 місяці тому

      Thanks for watching! This too, is appreciated. I use Magic Workbench. OS 3.2 comes with the Glow Icons as an option during the install, but I was never a fan of that look, so I stuck with Magic Workbench (MWB). The System Icons come with it, the rest are from various Aminet archives. MWB was very popular back in the day, thus there are many available Icon packs. I also use Tools Menu for the Workbench menu system. Most of my Workbench Fonts are either Zen or XHelvetica. They come as part of MUI (Magical User Interface), another must have for the Amiga Classic Computers.

      There are several PCB versions, the one featured in my Video is the fully loaded version. mSATA works well, a bit faster access than the CF Card. I may try the M.2 SATA again with the CD-ROM to see if I can get it to work. Future Boot ROM updates may resolve this. For now, I am using the Buddha Controller - 20th Anniversary Edition for CD-ROM access.

      I bought the CPU with the board. It is most likely a 68030 at 40 MHz. I did remove the paint but the silkscreen was removed down to the heatsink (lid). I am not sure why this was done or by whom. The 40 MHz 68030's run fine at 50 MHz, 60 MHz may be a stretch but "should" be fine. I did replace the CPU with with the ceramic 50 MHz version which will run fine at 60 MHz, if I choose to overclocked the CPU (which will happen 😀 ). Thanks for watching!

    At that time I had a hard drive larger than 4MB. For this I had to use a different file system. This was loaded into the bootloader area of ​​the hard drive. Another method was to make the first drive smaller than 2MB and load the file system from there. Then the Amiga did a soft reset again with the new fast file system.

Had to change the filesystem to break the 8GB limit, think it was either PFS (professional filesystem) or SFS (smart filesystem). But as you say once KS 3.1.4 and WB 3.1.4 and 3.2 arrived then this was fixed but they still didn't update the file system fully. I've changed all my partitions to PFS3 for my A1200 and using WB3.2, My A500+ with ACA500+ uses PFS3 already as default. So my A500+ with ACA500PLUS and with the ACA1221LC accelerator or 68k@42Mhz, on a Compact Flash HD. The drive speed I was getting was over 6MB/s. It would be interesting to see the mSATA drive with PFS3 installed.

    @9:20 not sure if youll get to this later in the video but note the NOTE on the adapter top left with the switch saying 5V <- ->3.3V. the A1200 is a 5V IDE device, so the switch should stay left like yours. it may be tempting for someone to flip the switch, especially since the mSATA drive sticker says 3.3V. I think flipping the switch to 3.3V may directly connect the drive to the A1200 5V rail?

      I believe this switch enables the Voltage regulator when using 5 Volts to supply the mSATA with the required 3.3Volts. If this is the case, setting the switch to 3.3V may harm the mSATA device. I would need to perform some tests to confirm this. I added further clarification to the pinned comment at the top of this video forum. Thanks 😀

    Really cool video and perfect timing. There are really no other videos on YT for this card. I just got an 2000 EATX board and was debating what to put in it: PiStorm, Vampire Firebird, some other accelerator, then stumbled onto this card on Amibay. I reserved a card with DJCook so this summer will hopefully have one too. I look forward to your next in-depth review video of it! Thanks for posting. It seems perfect. RAM, Storage, CPU, IO....

    Good stuff! I would encourage the usage of properly grounded ESD work mats and wrist straps to prevent shocking of circuit boards which create undiagnosable, intermittent issues that ultimately result.

    Looks like a great card... Just wondering what it costs. -Mark.

    • @amigaretro4765

      The cost is anywhere from 230 to 270 Euro before shipping, depending on the configuration. The card I will be reviewing cost 270 Euro, has all options with the 68030 CPU installed. I will add the 68882/40 MHz PLCC FPU since I have a spare left over from a previous project. It's a pretty fair price for a newly designed card, with the various options and features it offers.

    Hey, if you can swing the cash, buy a pair of RODE Wireless II Go microphones. A single mic is all that is needed for your setup. Turn it on, pop it on your lapel and record the video. Then sync its audio with your cameras audio and you'll get a MUCH more professional output. No background sounds, just your voice. Think about all the food you wont spoil :)

    • @amigaretro4765

      I have tried different microphones in the past but haven't found anything that seemed to work as well as I expected. I will definitely give your suggestion a shot., probably in time for my next video, Thanks :)

      @@amigaretro4765 I bought the pack, which has the receiver and two microphones. The receiver is not necassary, I mainly use a single microphone which can be setup to auto record when turned on. I have found it works very well. The 2nd mic has been useful for interviews, but other than that it COULD I suppose be put next to a noisy thing, a hard disk or fan to show it off in video. I have not tried a lavalier ext mic with it, but that might be on my list to buy, as the RODE is a little big and can hang awkwardly off some collars. But overall its been pretty epic. BTW, if you want, I think you CAN connect the receiver to your phone/camera and get the mic to record ONTO the video audio, replacing it. BUT I find the video audio is usefully sometimes as it picks up more background sound, which can be mixed into a video if i imroves it. Anway, try the RODE kit, you wont be disapointed :)

      The socket I did not change is for the 2MB of ChipRam, which was in good condition, and since it is needed to boot the computer, will seldom need to be swapped out or upgraded.

    Nice video. I’m guessing you didn’t want to use the PCMCIA port with a PCMCIA to SD adapter due to the FastRAM off the Individual computers Accelerator? If you had a Phase 5 or something with 32-bit FastRAM then I would look to do something similar with Compactflash.device and FAT95 👍🏻
