[IBM Model M Keyboard]

You need this adapter to use PC keyboard in Amiga http://amigastore.eu/en/360-pc-keyboard-adapter-lyra-3-bigbox.html, plus DIN to miniDIN adapter on A2000. For A1000 little bit harder, you need custom miniDIN to RJ11 adapter.

[New Atari Console that Ataribox?]

 

Yes, a couple of days ago.

That's what happens if you miss few days of reading.

[New Atari Console that Ataribox?]

It would be funny if the took their $3Milion Indiegogo funds and quickly come up with something. I mean it's possible.

[New Atari Console that Ataribox?]

I have been reading this for some time, but it's too long right now, did anyone post this article? :

[ALL SOLD! THANK YOU!]

I saw your post in the C64 subsection that you just got the C64 mini, and you liked it, and now you are selling it.That's a lot of effort to play for one day.

[Armiga questions?]

Amiga Forever is great and the cheapest one is $10 sometimes. Out of the box everything is configured and runs.

[RAM disk s/w for STE?]

Minimum for Wolfenstein is about 1.7MB.

The game works fine if I copy all files from 2.5MB floppy image to the RAM disk, so the files are fine. It's just the game does not like to run from floppy, at least for me.

[RAM disk s/w for STE?]

But real solution here, considering that OP has Gotek HW floppy emulator would be to figure out is it able to handle larger floppy images - like 1.5 MB with ST(E) without HD mode.

Because HxC can it. I'm really sad to see that no one of numerous owners takes care to clarify it .

I posted in other thread that the 2.5MB DSDD floppy image works fine with Gotek, however Wolfentein did not load correctly with it. I got corrupted graphics etc.

There is no option to create 1.5MB DSDD disk in HxCfloppyEmulator software.

[C-64 Mini Coming Soon...]

With that kind of equipment, I would think you don't need it unless it is for collector purposes as you seem to have the ability to play any C64 game you want by now.

Sometimes you need to know when to stop.

[C-64 Mini Coming Soon...]

I was thinking about it and decided not to get it. I have C64c with SD card which works great, and I have 2 C64TV joysticks which are converted and working. One of them have disk drive port and other SD card.

So I'm good.

Oh, and I don't play them very often.

[FOR SALE: Amiga 2000 fully loaded - $525 SHIPPED! ***SOLD!***]

I don't know..., it looks definitely fishy to me.

[Games wont run and bombs on screen]

I'm not an Atari STe guy, but here are some tips:

Find diagnostic sw put it on 720KB PC disk, run it see if it finds any problems, maybe memory is bad.

Remove the cover, push all the chips in, check if some chips get hotter then usual.

Swap memory, or use less to see if it crashes, I'm not sure how much RAM you have.

PM for Keyboard.

[Question about HxC, Gotek capability]

OK, I got it. You need the HxCfloppy emulator software to create the disk, then it works.

So, 2.5MB floppy disks on ST using Gotek success!

 

Previously I was using the MSA Converter s/w to create the blank disks. You can use this s/w to create the HD disks, but they don't work with Gotek drive.

 

 

 

[Question about HxC, Gotek capability]

The 1.44Mb image did not work.

Here is a link to someone who made the 1.44MB image, but it did not work for me, I'm probably missing something.

It's under section 4, it's in German so I translated using google.

Maybe someone else can try? It would be nice to have 2.5MB floppy.

[What would U have done to make the Amiga succeed better?]

I think, like most posters here mentioned before, the Commodore was not focused in their strength that was games and gaming. The most popular computer was C64 and it was used for games, one of the most popular PC's in Europe were Amiga and it was used for games.

The Commodore did not see the writing on the wall, that it was the games that sold the Amiga's. They should have focused more on games and made games console sooner, but they focused more on business and business like machines. They couldn't even see what Video Toaster did for them. (When they released the A4000, they did not tell/work with Newtek about it).

Few companies realized that they have to change like Sony from electronics giant to Playstation, and Apple from PC's to Phones, and Microsoft too.

So, what I would have done? I would focus more on creating best gaming console. Amigas graphics were on par with SNES (which was released in 1991) but Amiga was designed in 1984! The CD32 was great idea, but a little too late.

[Question about HxC, Gotek capability]

Well, it did not work, maybe we can try 1.44MB DOS image? Maybe there is an option to switch/enable HD image mode, which I did not see.

[Question about HxC, Gotek capability]

It looks like I may need a HD floppy mod, maybe new TOS chip to get the HD floppy to work (HD floppy image for that matter)

[Question about HxC, Gotek capability]

At first try it did not work, it gave me error:

" Drive A: is not responding. Please check the disk drive, or insert disk."

Let me investigate...

[Question about HxC, Gotek capability]

Give me an image and I will test, I have Gotek with HxC firmware on my STE.

[RAM disk s/w for STE?]

It worked!

I'm using Gotek drive to get it to work.

Created 3 floppies on Win PC with MSA Converter, copied the Wolf 3d files into 3 disks with the RAM disk program.

Created the RAM disk, reboot, copy all Wolf 3D files, Start and it works.

 

This Wolf 3D port plays very nice in full screen mode on plain STE.

Thanks

[RAM disk s/w for STE?]

Thanks, I'll work on it and see if it works.

[RAM disk s/w for STE?]

It's Wolfenstein 3D for ST and it comes in multiple files that I could copy using multiple disks to RAM disk (at least that is my idea). The game requires 2MB RAM and I have 4MB 1040STE, so... it should fit in RAM and run at the same time.
