I own both a RPi and an A500... I should try this;) Awesome video, it's just magnificent to see the raspberry pi prompt on an A500. It's about 30 years between them, but it works never the less! Thanks for making it!
Do it! Considering the a1200, given enough RAM, could run the old mac os, (and arguably a form of nix system oo), one might anticipate a squid server could be run on an a1200 if this were done on an a1200 over rs232 serial with a desire to speed things up... however it would be almost pointless seing as an rj45 would be used instead.
Back in the day I had an A1200 and A500 both online, for the 1200 I had a pccard ethernet adapter, for the A500 I used a null modem cable to my router (386 linux box). Bothe worked fine along with my windows PC. The internet connection was a SupraFax 28.8k modem with a dialup PPP connection. I also shared it out to my friend so he could browse AOL from his mac at the time.
I can't wait to try this .. I just need the null modem cable and the serial to 9 pin adaptor. Should have wireless with my raspberry 3b+.. Very Cool. I just installed the scsi2sd drive and a gotek floppy emu. Loving my old amiga 500 again haha. Take Care
You can restart your raspberry pi (or any linux install on any computer) by typing sudo restart or su -c restart depending on if you use sudo or not. No need to unplug it. Also if you unplug it while it is running you risk potential data loss. To shutdown run sudo poweroff or su -c poweroff.
I used to connect her via null with a pc win98 back in the days. I tried last week again on xp but all I did was pinging them oh well I'm getting old and I can't remember. Nice vid as always.
yeah it should work with win98 but it would be quite fiddly to configure. Its pretty easy to configue the RPi. Took me about 30 minutes to get all set up. Easy :)
I am trying to follow this video tutorial, however I am having issues. Can you possibly clear some things up for me. 1.) What was your Miami Dialer setting, when I click online my Dialer starts to dial first, which may be screwing things up. 2) The 10.0.0.1 ip settings, what are those, is 10.0.0.1 the IP of your Raspberry Pi or are they just made up IPs. Also how do I give the Amiga an IP in my DHCP router, does it need one?
1:00 Doesn't he a500 have a mirror of a zorro (male) as its main side connector? Also, doesn't the a590 harddrive have a zorro to scsi adaptor? Just adding that. Good video.
Great video. I forgot to mention in my vid that I actually was looking to do the same, I have a raspberry pi with a serial port on the internal GPIO port so just needed to configure the software. Thanks for the walk-through :)
cheers mate. your Amiga -> BBS vid was one of the influences for me to try this out. Always enjoy your videos. I hear there is a C64 online one in the works? Can't to see that one!
hi. just curious what driver you used with linux for the usb to serial adapter. I got a ch340 one. i found sourcecode from a chinese web site, but i cannot get it to compile in ubuntu 15.04
I tried this and I am able to telnet into the Pi from my Amiga (which was great btw:)), but when I try IBrowse I get "Host lookup failed, no DNS entry found." I've been searching the internet for a couple of days now but I can't quite figure out where and how in Miami I am supposed to enter the DNS. I mostly used my Amiga for games and Deluxe Paint so all this networking is very new to me. I would much appreciate if someone could tell me or perhaps point me in the right direction.
Karl Axelsson sounds like you're close. You just need to provide Miami your DNS settings. I'll take a look at my settings this evening and let you know where to locate them. cheers
***** Thanks :) I have found where to make the DNS settings now. IBrowse is trying to find the address now at least, but after about 20 seconds I get "Host lookup failed, no DNS entry found." again. I guess I must be putting in the wrong IP as DNS.
I have a question: I have 2 Sega Saturns with NetLink Modems Is there some way to emulate a phone network as a smart null modem so I can assign one system to a the virtual number x-xxx-xxxx and the other y-yyy-yyyy and call the specified emulated number from the host system and have a "LAN" connection? It works as a simple p2p system like a fax machine. Thanks!
Yes you absolutely can do that. You can do it using this raspberry pi (or any linux PX or BSD box) but also with an extra powerful amiga (which is unlikly to be laying around spare - lol) or an old mac. Essentially, you can use tunnelling as one way to achieve this rather than sockets. There are quite a lot of amiga games that would allow for multiplayer by connecting two amiga computers together via a serial null modem cable (and in theory you could do so over the internet ths way) but also, you can connect (via just a serial null modem cable) an amiga and an atari ST to play some games. The racing game "Lotus turbo challenge 2" would be an example, as would stunt car racer, although stunt car racer would (some report) only play the roller coaster level. The amiga simply doesn't "know" it is connected over the internet. It just thinks it is linked via a cable in the same room.
ofcourse it works. its not hardware problem.its software problem. need just software. and everyone know RPI go on with it.using builtin hardware. again. you can use asm program serial driver make it faster. hardware is inside but there no software run faster just like in commodore 64. commodore programmer just made it to work. no time enhance it
why not download. its fast as it was 1995 we download them and PAY for it lol. and it was fun stare screen waiting. nothing else todo. there were no youtube. had all time in world. take break from real world and. do like old times. not need speed everything

Why does the video skip at 7:14? It seems to skip installing Ppp daemon.
Great.. Doing an amiga usb project myself and this was the next step.. Internet access!!. Nice One!!
Amazed this can be done! 👍

Your IRC handle is a slow acting insulin? :D
Definitely change your serial.device, when I did that on my Amiga back in the day it made a huge difference to the online performance.
Great video. I forgot to mention in my vid that I actually was looking to do the same, I have a raspberry pi with a serial port on the internal GPIO port so just needed to configure the software. Thanks for the walk-through :)

Great video.
Can you use this method to allow two Amigas to browse each others harddrives?
Cool. This video deserves a lot more views.
thanks man :)
how did you connect your A500 to a modern tft?
Cool video, thanks for sharing
What kind of case is on the Raspberry Pi?
Could this be possible on Workbench 1.3?
Going to test it later :)
Very nice video 👍
hi. just curious what driver you used with linux for the usb to serial adapter. I got a ch340 one. i found sourcecode from a chinese web site, but i cannot get it to compile in ubuntu 15.04
You could use this as a cool way to transfer files.
How many ram you have? Will it work on a600 ks3.1 wb3.1??

Pretty cool you got it online. NSA be like WTF???
'I only have 512 megs of chip memory..' LOLS =D
Runar W kilos, not megs perhaps.

Pas mal
restarting raspberry pi: write "reboot" and press enter
why not download. its fast as it was 1995 we download them and PAY for it lol. and it was fun stare screen waiting. nothing else todo. there were no youtube. had all time in world. take break from real world and. do like old times. not need speed everything
where can you get a free tcpip stack? its 2023
