My net-surfing A600 with USB
« on: October 10, 2009, 11:52:39 PM »
Hey everyone, I just thought it was about time I posted some photos of my tightly packed Amiga 600, complete with A603, Real-Time Clock, Subway USB card, USB numeric keypad, USB mouse and USB control pad, 2MB ChipRAM, IDE-CF Adapter with Compact Flash HDD, Kickstart ROM Switcher with 1.3 (patched for IDE) and 3.1, and a PCMCIA Ethernet card. I have it dual-booting into either Workbench 3.1 or Workbench 1.3, both of which work fine with all the USB peripherals, I can surf the net, chat on IRC, MSN, play MUDs, download/transfer files, read email and news, play games, write, paint, draw, listen to music and use the calculator with my right hand.

All this yummy USB stuff wouldn't be possible without the excellent 68k USB stack Anaiis.







Hopefully some day I'd like to stick a lovely A608 in there, and maybe an Indivision ECS if it'll fit (ooh I want low-res 256 colour chunky mode in my A600). All in good time, of course.

Yeah, all that stuff works in 2MB Chip. Not all at the SAME time (IRC, MSN, MUD, Email, Games, Music...) but you'd be surprised how capable it is. I am usually using a few things at once on it, no sweat :)

Nice, you could still get an A630 though:)
The only downside is that it misses AGA but for WHDLoad with older stuff it's a cute little machine.

If I could afford an A630 and one was up for grabs, I'd jump at the chance to get it, but alas I'm poor and A630s are rare in these parts.

I have an A1200 and a CD32 for AGA stuff :)

Great to see the result on a compact A600.
Good work Cammy!

ANAIIS is a good thing for the 68000, so I *MUST* improve it from now.

Arch, sorry Cammy, we are polluting your nice thread...
As ANAIIS is Sirion API compatible, but internal drivers don't work (only one thread is running),
an application can use it to manage ethernet. But don't ask me, because I have no time for that, and no more working A2000 to test it. Sorry...

CRIPES! I got a RISC PC too! (and a BBC A3000) Nice to see Acorn users here. :D What spec is that machine?

As for the 600... I wish my 600 was this good, one of my favorite all time Amiga's IMO simply because of it cute size wins me over.
