  1. Can my miniPro program a 27c400-105 eprom? I hope so, I just ordered a lt of 5 because I want a DiagRom for my amiga.

     

    I'm actually trying to do the same thing, which is to use a minpro to program a DiagRom.

     

    You will need an adapter. I ordered this one:

    The listing above is just for the bare board, so if you go that route, you'll need to buy the parts and do some soldering. The parts for mine are still en-route from China.

  2. Can anyone recommend a good 2.5" Sata 1 TB drive or at least brand? Thanks...so many options

     

    Does anyone see any reason this HDD wouldn't work:

    Any of the major manufacturers should be fine: Seagate, Western Digital, Toshiba, HGST, Samsung, etc. There will always be bad drives, no matter the manufacturer. It's probably more important that you have a warranty, so that you can exchange the drive if you have to.

     

    The WD one that you link to has a one year seller's warranty, so that's definitely good. Although you may want to ask the seller what the warranty covers.

  3. I have a binary that loads at 0xA000 - 0xFFFF. The second 4K of the range is unneeded and is zero padded. It was generated with GCC and prints "Hello World" five times.

     

    The zip file contains the binary as well as an additional text file showing the memory map of the binary. You don't need to do anything with the memory map - it is just there in case you want to see how the binary is laid out.

     

    Caveat: It worked with the TI (cartridge) headers in there, but the version without headers is untested as I am unsure of how to do so.

  4. Looks like you got a deal, because these things are averaging $100 on eBay.
    I myself am contemplating a budget board for my A500 that runs around $20 - $30 on eBay. You can find it by
    searching for GBS8200.
    There are some complaints on the net about picture quality but I figure it is better than what I have now
    which is the black and white RCA output.
  5. I bet a guy could processes YouTube videos pretty quick on this Alienware PC. I dunno about you guys though, it may or may not be 'overkill', but I think it's rather steep in the price department. What do you think?

     

    At $17K it's about $14K - $15K too much.

     

    The dual Titan Z cards are outdated and overpriced when compared to GTX 1080s (currently $4K each vs $500). The 1080s also appear to run circles around the Titans:

    Throw in another $1K or $2K for current generation I7 CPU/ Motherboard/ RAM / etc. Of course you'd have to put it together yourself, but like I said you'd save $14K - $15K.
