And thanks to you for watching the video and reading this! :)
Amiga Forever!
The Amiga still makes me dream!
Only Amiga makes it possible!
The "AZETA" sign on the wall tells me lot of things! Great video on this newly discovered channel of yours! Cheers, M
Thanks for the demo, have seen odd bits about the A314 but never a full demo of a working board. Looks great, like the way the Pi is used here, not replacing the CPU like the PiStorm. The RemoteWB is really neat. Would be nice to see some way of using a WiFi enabled printer via the A314.
Yeah, It's a different idea, the PiStorm is an accellerator, this instead is more like an add-on, perfect for a stock amiga! RemoteWb is really cool! About the printer, once setup and connected to your network, I'm sure that with some patience you can set it up! ;)
Thanks for watching and commenting :)
Ooh! I see what the creator did there with the model number/name!
Very nice 👍
Very good video! Btw what is the monitor of your Amiga?? I don't recognize it.... very nice.
It's a thomson, the same screen used by commodore on their 1901 branded screens.
Thanks for showing the A314 retail boxed version! I am so, so interested in buying one for my Spare Amiga 500 unit in my bedroom. Currently the warranty seal is intact and has an a501 ram card and kickstart 1.2. A few questions if I may ask?? 1. Do I need to upgrade my kickstart to at least 3.1? I don’t wish to open up my pristine A500 low serial number unit. 2. Can it co-exist with my gvp impact series II hard disk drive & 8mb fast ram expansion? 3. I am searching everywhere on the web!! Where can I purchase the retail boxed version ? Who makes them? Any contacts you have? Thanks in advance and may the Amiga love ❤️ be spreading over the world 🌎:)
Thanks for the very nice comment! You should be able to use the a314 without breaking the seal, I'm just not sure about full compatibility with kick 1.2, the hdd and ram can work togheter with the a314 for sure! About getting your card, try hopping in the discord channel in the descriction, I'm sure sooner or later you'll find something ;-)
Does the card strengthen the Amiga version by 0.5 chip or 0.5 slow. As with the regular Amiga 500 or 500plus, you get a 1MB chip? Regarding the Amiga 1000 version. What happens if we pull out the 256 kb RAM extension? What do we get in the Amiga 1000 with the A314? How much RAM and what type will we get? This is important because the ACA500Plus for the Amiga 500 with free RAM turns into a 1MB chip. If you want to use IMP3, you must have 1MB Chip of RAM. Infinity Music Player 3 for the operating system. I see potential here. Internet, music and social chat !
This one for the 500 it's configurable how you preefer with simple jumpers, to have 1Mb of chip ram you may need to mod your machine depending on the rev. of it. The amiga 1000 version will provide 512k total with it's 256k for the machine. The only way to bump up chip ram on the 1000 is using (on the ones with daughterboards) the rejuvinator or with very difficult undocumented procedures on the versions without the daugherboard. For mp3 on any amiga you need an accellerator with at least a 50Mhz '030 and some fast ram too. Have a good day and forever amiga!
what accelerator does the 500 have in it? miami deluxe doesnt work on standard 68000 right?
Miami requires a 68020, maybe you could try roadshow...
The accellerator in this machine is an hardital bigbang 25Mhz 030 with 2Mb.
The Amiga has 2Mb of chip with the a314 2Mb on the hd and 2Mb on the bigbang.
@@-H3li03- very nice machine! I use amitcp on my a600 with a plipbox, slow but steady
Ciao Claudio, di dove sei? vedo l'adesivo del rally lassù...
Catania :)
where can I get one
You can build one! :)
would this put an a500+ onto 2mb chip ram, ie just provide 1mb extra :)
Yes will provide 1mb extra so a total of 2mb
An A500 Plus with a *red* LED - is that a refit?
Its a mechanical keyboard from an early machine :)
LINK TO BUY THIS BOXED RETAIL VERSION?
Right now it's not possible, but you can build one yourself.
