I can't wait for home net access- I'll be DLing amiga roms and copying them to amiga disks all day long :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
If you were online on this MB a few hours earlier, I'd be able to help you alot more... cause my brother would be around and he'd be loads of help to ya! but me... well... I only played the games and used the trackers once and a while. :-/ |
||||||||

I managed to get my amiga to play out of my PC speakers! :) |

Dude. I have Octamed 1.3 or 3 on a single floppy disk for my Amiga. Once i have it back up you want a copy? I don't know if it still works yet but I hope so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have Octamed 6 on floppy. Can do a copy. Also have the original Soundtracker! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Definately! I only have fasttracker 2.7 or something... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Cool, can I e-mail you my addy next week? |
||||||||
|
|

sure thing |

Does anyone know how to connect a second disk drive? It looks like you just plug the lead into the port on the back of the amiga and it should work automatically. Is there any trick you need to carry out to make it look for disks in drive #2? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It just did! When you played a game that had two disks, the second drive just read the disk automatically. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There's a switch on the back labelled "ec/dis" I've tried both positions to no avail :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maybe you have a crap drive! Or your Amiga has a crap port on the back of it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I did consider the possibility of a crap port, but the guy I bought it off never had an external drive and all the pins seem fine... Maybe have a look at the wiring when I take its top of to have a look at that gammy spacebar. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There are lots of website that show you wiring schematics of those machines.....but the fact that the guy that sold you never had an external drive, doesn't prove the socket ever worked does it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nope, it just means it's less likely to hve bent pins from someone putting it in the wrong way round! :) It could be that the disk drive is dodgy also... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Unless I get another external drive to test it I amy never know :( |
||||||||
|

My Amiga 500+ is dead :( I had to get an A600 to replace it, Now i'm looking to put a 1GB 2.5" drive into it but I have to check it's the correct sort. Ceri.. I saw an external floppy drive cheep on ebay. just type "Amiga" "Floppy Drive" on the UK serch and you should find it if you need a new one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cheers, I've been meaning to sign up to ebay for years now, but I never have. Perhaps this will prompt me to :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My Amiga 500 is still smokin' ;) It purrs like a kitten. But I got use for it now days :S I like things that work quickly. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can get a new game every day for your Amiga from there. Like a quid each. Only don't be stealing the good stuff from me if i'm bidding on it! *growls* }:) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My A500+ was smoking >.< I gotta get a HD for my A600, I may have the one you cant put a HD in tho so i'm gonna have to open it tonight and see. *twiddles his talons* |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you know if yoy can get HDs for A500s? (Looks hopefully with pleading eyes...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah, Called an A570. You can open it and put any or almost any 3.5" HD in and it comes with a 40MB drive in. Put a GB drive in and you are sorted. |
||||||||

Cheers Spikee, after my holiday & payday I will def. have to sign up to ebay :) |
||||||||

Dude, Your amiga becomes a whole new thing when it has a HD man. Getting a 1GB 2.5" drive for my A600 soon. Install workbench and there you go. I have HD utills someplace and stuff. You need anything just paw me and ask and i'll see if I got. I'll dig out cross dos and stuff so you can run PC disks on your Amiga and Amiga into ADF for PC very soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wicked! I notice there's a piggy back port on the back of the external floppy... does this mean you can link an external HD & external floppy at the same time? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You can put four floppys together, the HD will plug into the side of the Amiga, you should have a flap there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'll look for one tonight :) Another 2 external drives would be great- no disk swapping on secret of monkey island :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You get used to four. (someone is talking about aphex twin on radio one now...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
In a quiz, he wants to see him? oh no matter. Yes, You get used to four and it's a total drag having to use one drive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Wait a minute.... Amigas are still useful?! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes. and no, I'm not going to discuss them being better then PCs because it's daft. Amigas are very entertaining and the parts are cheep, nuff said. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know, it was swapping disks 4 times on shadow of the beast everytime I died that convinced me to get an external drive. I will definately have to look into getting a HD as I want to do some tracker work on it and the slow (floppy) disk loading times are doing my head in. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm out of touch with that so if I do use it for my new album and get somewhere i'll drop you some tips if I can. |

Just bumping this 'cause I love the Amiga. My favourite waste of time as a kid, just like the internet is now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
amiga far surpassed any internet wastetime. workbench disk with protracker and xcopy. and a background picture. and a ace font. and ascii. woo.xoo.hoo.boo. mine is gone:( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
p.s. if you got HD disks just put a sticker on the hole and format it on the amiga. ohwell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I sold my amiga at a car boot sale a few weeks back. I hadn't used it for over a year (since I got Renoise - which whups anything the amiga had trackerwise) and couldn't afford the space anymore. It went to a good home, the bloke who bought it was overjoyed to find one and it obviously brought back memories of his youth. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, protracker, i love you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
