Thanks for the comment. 😎 I do plan to cover the compiler and it is in my list of future videos. I have started filming some footage around installing it, or at least attempting to… 🤦‍♂️ It’s definitely on the cards. I need a working compiler myself too for some projects I have in the pipeline. Watch this space. 👍

Thank you so much for saying so. I am always happy to hear that these little videos I make are of some use to people. Have fun. 😁

Thank you. 😎 Yeah, Uridium on the Spectrum is still one of my ‘go-to’ games. 😁

Thank you. I really like it. 😎

Excellent, glad you like liked it. Thank you for your comment on the previous video as it made me re-think things. It would be interesting to see where people can take this code next. 😎

Yeah, I’m very fussy when it comes to video stats. Anything under 95% makes me nervous. 😉

It was a great suggestion and solved the display problem nicely, making the program a bit more useful. 😅

@@YawningAngelRetro Definately. And thanks for the shout out, BTW. 👍

Credit where credit is due matey. Thank YOU for your advice and help. 😎

@@YawningAngelRetro It's fun playing with AMOS. 👍

Thank you. 😎

That is of course another way of doing it. One day I’ll cover that in another video. 😉👍

Many thanks for saying so. Good luck and have fun.

Many thanks. It does have a grown-up presence now. 😁

Thank you,

The plan was for this program to proved the colour palette hexadecimal codes, and also show an alternative way of loading the Default Palette command. It provides the code to extract the colour hex values. This is aimed at people who are not experienced with Amos and how to perform these tasks. It might seem a bit obvious to people who are experienced. 😎

That is a great idea. I didn’t consider doing it as extra screens but I did try and show it horizontally. 🤦‍♂️😅 Huge thanks for the comment and idea. 👍

That was a great suggestion. 👍

No problem. I am still working my way through yours, but as I want to watch them properly, I tend not to watch them after I’ve finished work as I’m brain dead then. 😅

Lol, no worries. 😁 Not sure if we’ll see more of that mug. 🤔

I did consider adding a file selector… but was keen to get this video out while I had a window of opportunity. Might consider doing an update to this later down the line. I’d also like to integrate this with my original Utils program. Heh, so many ideas and options, not enough time. 😅

@@YawningAngelRetro Would you mind if I rewrote some of the program over the next few days and send it to you ? (Hope you're not offended by this)

@frankowalker4662 Fine by me. I do this for fun and never claim it is perfect. 😅 More than happy for people to change and modify… and improve. 😉

@@YawningAngelRetro Cheers mate. 👍

You’d need to provide the floppy. 😅

Hello and thank you for your comment. I understand what you are asking but to be honest that is one thing that I do not know how you implement. It would be something that I’d need to investigate and hopefully cover in a future video. Sorry I can’t help right now. As I am working on a game project myself this is something that I will need to know eventually so I can pass on my knowledge when I know how to do it. 😎

@@YawningAngelRetro Thank you for your answet. I discovered a way to do It ☺️

Yes, STOS was the original, then AMOS followed from that. 😎

Just over 5Gb. 😎

No problem and thanks for the comment. Hope it goes well for you. 😁

Thanks Frank. It took way longer than I wanted. As you can probably gather, the video was filmed over a few days. If I’d just concentrated on the install I probably could have got it done in a day, but planning the filming etc. and actually doing it took way longer than I had planned. 🤦‍♂️

I swear I added that caption as a last minute thing, rushing to get the video complete for tonight, so like an idiot I assumed it was okay. 🤦‍♂️ Thanks for noticing. 😅

Awesome! AMOS is so flexible and I love hearing what people have done, and are still doing with it. 😎👍

It was a bit like that. Nice Excalibur reference. 😉🗡️

I’ve been trying to work something based on that meme for ages. 😆

Check out Archive.org. Search for Amos Pro. 😎

Nice. Was this recently or some time ago? Do you still, have the files?

@@YawningAngelRetro 1995/1998. I should search among the old things ... and I update you

Yes, thank you. I found it and started making more use of it some months ago. 😁👍

Hiya, and thanks for the lovely comment. 😎 You would think that would be possible, but the only way to do it would be to move to the window you want closed, so use Window 2 for example, then execute the Wind Close command. Wind Close only closes the currently active window. You would think you could tell it to close a specific one, but sadly you cannot, which is daft because the Wind Open command will accept a window number. 🤦‍♂️

@@YawningAngelRetro I'm thinking...... Maybe we can use screen copy to get a chunk of screen (that can be our window) then move it outside the screen display to simulate that the window moves away... I'll try this

@LuisDiaz-uu7xg That sounds like a good plan. Let me know how you get on. 😁👍

Great to know. Enjoy. 😁👍

Thank you for the comment. Glad you found it useful. 😁 I’ll be trying out the booting from ADF functionality soon. I don’t see why it would not work, but we’ll see. 😎

Thank you Daph. Yeah, I find myself just staring at it sometimes, thinking ‘Wow!’. 😎

I guess because it is essentially using the same ports as the internal floppy you can only have once device active on that port at a time. The floppy controller was never meant to handle multiple devices from what I can see. But your point is fair. 😉

Yes, you can by using simple solution like x-copy. Load your disk or .adf file to memory, flick switch to either GoDRIvE or FDD and store it.

Awesome, thanks for saying so. 😎

After shooting that scene I did think about resting it against a wall. 🤦‍♂️ Ah well, everything is clearer in hindsight. 😅

@@YawningAngelRetro Sadly, that is true. Ha ha.

Ah, I brought mine from him at a show a few months ago. Didn’t know they were a build to order option now. Never tried it with df0 disconnected, but I assume it should work as ling as it can get power, which it draws from the motherboard, and in turn df0 draws power from the GoDrive board.

I imagine that if you keep the switch in the floppy off setting, it will work fine on it's own.

@@YawningAngelRetro ah ok thanks very much . that is kinda how i was expecting it too work . i have done loads of mods to my amiga since i go it back out of the loft 5 years ago. after being u there since 1996 i was gunna get the gotek but the godrive suits my needs alot better . i also have the black case and keys like you and a mk3 scan doubler . i might try the re-amiga mod soon .

@@frankowalker4662 yeah thats kinda what i was hoping for tbh i have hundreds of disks that i have to go thru but dont have a working floppy atm . so this will get me back up and running in the mean time . then its just a case of a strong magnet and the disc cleaning if some are failing then re-write them back to floppy thru adf

It always been like that, you need to contact seller to order one. They are not build to order, but due to high demand you'll probably be put on the waiting list.

That sounds really cool Darth, I’m wondering if hardware people have considered making something like that. I guess it’s only a matter of time before something like that emerges. 😎

Thank you for the comment. I’m not familiar with how this would work on an A500, but the GoDrive documentation says it does work with the A500 as it has a power cable splitter in the box for the GoDrive and df0 power cable. Also I’m not sure on how to source a case for the Gotek. I would assume they should be easy to get given Gotek drives are common on a number of platforms. Sorry I can’t offer much in the way of help, and good luck with your search and finding a solution.

I ended up purchasing GoEX drives for both my A500 and A1200. These are slimline internal "goteks" except they mount perfectly in the floppy bay, they use an external oled screen and slim case mount. They use SD Cards instead of USB so they're almost invisible when inserted plus they have a jogwheel that also acts as a button to select folders and such. The jogwheel button and sd card slot fit perfectly in the floppy disk gap of your Amiga case. Highly recommend these drives, they cost around 57GBP with screen and screen mount. The internal GoEX mounts are different for A500 and A1200, you select which type you need when you purchase plus a choice of colours. There's also the "GoEX on Pills" edition which allows "Gotek" interaction on your Amiga monitor instead of using the little oled screen, requires some soldering though and costs a bit more.

@@off1k seems like a great solution - unless you still want to have a working floppy drive?

@@stephenelliott7071 Yeah true but I have an external floppy as well. I also used an internal Gotek drive (after I replaced it with the GoEX) in an external floppy drive case to replace a dead floppy drive. I use this for a different A500 that has a normal internal floppy. It's great for copying to and from ADF to real floppy.

@@off1k sounds like a cool setup.

Yes I have some plans around this, but for now I'll stick with all black but keep my options open. 😎

Many thanks Stoo. Really appreciate the comment, and yes, it is a bit of a looker. 😎

Thank you so much. 😁
