• Amiga Gear

    From Lee Benson@1:2320/100 to Mick Lazic on Fri Apr 24 17:28:38 2009
    Hi again.

    Well here we go.

    First the Amiga gear that is being using regularly.

    (2) A-500's
    (1) A-1200
    (1) A-4000

    I am using two Ambery AV-1 RGB to VGA converters so one of my systems for playing the true Amiga Games is hooked up to my 37" HD widescreen TV.
    What a blast for gaming. The other AV-1 is hooked up to a 19" wide screen monitor. My the way the 37" TV has a VGA input.

    The poor little A-4000 is hooked up to a 1084. and has OS 3.9 DVD Rom drive and removable hd's.

    3 A-2000's in storage for now. I think only one of them work.
    Several external floppys.

    As I think 3 more 1084's in my storage shad.

    Well here we go.

    cool

    i could hook up my amiga aswell

    I am using two Ambery AV-1 RGB to VGA converters so one of my
    systems
    for playing the true Amiga Games is hooked up to my 37" HD
    widescreen TV.

    wonder if a3000 vga works on this one

    I have not tried it on a A-3000 VGA. Have not had a A-3000 for several
    years -(
    First I'm using the commodore 23pin to 15pin VGA adapter from my A-500, A-
    1200 etc to hook up to the AV-1 RGB CGA converter. Then the output of the
    AV-1 goes to the VGA input of my HD TV or a VGA monitor. Just not sure of
    you could use it from the VGA output plug on the A-3000. Sure would be nice
    to know. I'm not using any other graphic card at all on my systems. It seems to work in all modes.

    What a blast for gaming. The other AV-1 is hooked up to a 19" wide screen monitor. My the way the 37" TV has a VGA input.

    hdmi is crap sometimes atleast here :) (may be my nvidia graphic card)

    Maybe it is the nvidia card.

    The poor little A-4000 is hooked up to a 1084. and has OS 3.9 DVD
    Rom
    drive and removable hd's.

    oh and envoy ?

    What can I say.

    3 A-2000's in storage for now. I think only one of them work.
    Several external floppys.

    i had miami/miamidx/envoy running over one ethernet cable, my miamidx
    was
    router from ethernet to arcnet :=)

    from my a4000 i could use a floppy drive hooked on a500 on arcnet, call it networking :)

    if i run with a x1541 cable on the a500 it even works to transfer from
    a4000 to
    1541 floppys over envoy, but bill gates newer sav that :)

    What I'm doing for CBM transfers is using a uIEC on my Commie C-64 to
    transfer files to the PC via a Compack Flash Card. I use Drive unit 8 or what ever and the iUEC is unit 10 move the files over then plug the CF into my PC and bingo there moved over.

    As I think 3 more 1084's in my storage shad.

    super, keep up the spirit


    There is no other way Benny


    ... there can only be one way of life, and it works :)

    Back to the Future

    Never had an A-1200 but, I'm looking for some sort of RGB to VGA
    converter box to use when my CBM monitors die.

    The AV-1 RGB converter cost about $92 US dollars.

    Hope that helps.

    Never got into much on the Amigas except for running Xenolink BBS but,
    I do have a couple of those RGB to TV converters from Commodore, along
    with External floppy and a CBM1541 to Amiga floppy interface to copy
    those C=64 disks to Amiga.

    Very quiet in here normally or over my head with termonology (Game
    talk).
