Shephda Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Been working on my Amiga 500 housed in a Bodega Bay case for a while now. I've installed a Super Denise to give it full ECS, a new Kick ROM 3.1, and a few other goodies. This will be my primary gaming system and sits next to my A-2000 HD. I have a few case mods left for the Bodega Bay, the leg on the right side is held in place with rivets. I'm going to drill them out and replace with bolts to make it sturdier, and make up a pair of cables to bring the joystick ports to the side of the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Color me envious. That is a very pretty setup you have there. I had my hands on a Bodega Bay a couple of decades ago, but it was in such horrible shape that all I could do was part it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Color me beige! That's the most beige thing I've ever seen with a 2015 date stamp. I'm impressed too, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've installed a Super Denise to give it full ECS, a new Kick ROM 3.1, and a few other goodies. Sweet! I don't have my Bodega Bay set up right now, because I am still waiting to get an ever-elusive internal accelerator for the A500. The A500 has been upgraded to ECS and OS 3.1, too, and the BB has a CD-ROM drive and SCSI board with hard drive. Are you planning on installing other boards in the BB? > I have a few case mods left for the Bodega Bay, the leg on the right side is held in place with rivets.

Truly, Robert Bernardo Fresno Commodore User Group http://www.dickestel.com/fcug.htm Thanks Roberto. Right now it has a A2901 controller and an A2058 RAM card. Would like to find the chips to bring it up to full 8MB. I have a GOTEK drive coming to install in the 500 (I use it mainly as a game PC). As for the BB, can't think of any other cards I need. Want to upgrade the drive to a 2GB model. Since you can't run a scan doubler or accelerator in the BB there's not really much I would need. Like you I would like to get something like a 68030 in the 500 but that's about it. BTW I have updated my Commodore Web Page: http://www.n8ie.com/c64er Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
