The expansion slot on the side of the A500 really opened up a world of addons that are still being made today. Perhaps it was a mistake to go with PCMCIA on the 600 and 1200, which wasn't really supported very well at the time.
@dirkflannigan52712 жыл бұрын
The 1200 has a similar expansion slot to the A500, allowing for CPU's to take over the system. The problem is that it is underneath the keyboard and has some tight space constraints. Being able to hang expansions off of the side is a big plus, in hindsight. It was pretty cool back in the day to have an expanded 1200 with hdd and an 030 that wasn't any bigger than the base machine.

On later versions of Raspberry Pi OS where the pi user doesn't exist you'll need to add a config file to set user credentials in addition to the ssh file. You can also add wireless network credentials etc. to a file named wpa_supplicant.conf (in /boot) if you need wifi

Had you chosen 2 (after getting "ile") and tab then filename would already be completed with "partX.sh" not so useful for short names, works for files and directory names, try it on an executable !

Often saves loads of time and faulty key presses when working extensively at the command prompt. c",) Concerning the graceful shutdown of the Pistorm - I've merely turned off my CDTV as usual, and never had any problems because of that (in fact, Linux is generally very forgiving when it comes to such shutdowns, and I think the Pi versions are even more so).

Problem is that I've never gotten it to work, even with a PiStorm that runs flawlessly internally. Only thing this product has done for me is caused me to fry a pi3's GPIO header when I misaligned the pins endlessly plugging the thing in and out troubleshooting (5v into 3.3v = poof!). In more 35 years of Amiga, I've never been more frustrated by a product. This is not meant to poo-poo any part of this.

Does the Software Emulator have all the actual Physical Co-Processors sequentially Emulated? (One op code at a time, even with threads) Yes Does the software Emulate all of them at the same clock pulse when emulating those Co-Processors? No Well the answer is different timings, different experience. Its because of all of that, that its called Emulation, or in case of an FPGA Parallel Simulation, this one is almost the same as the REAL Thing. But nothing compares to an REAL Amiga. So if you emulate a processor and the rest of the hardware is the same, you have REAL Amiga experience, with REAL Hardware, with the exception of the CPU. For example there is several software that takes advantage of timings, bugs and non documented features and behaviors of some integrated circuits that in emulation would not be possible to emulate. But the list goes on and on.

hello, i now have a Lazarustorm and have plugged my Pistorm and when i turn on my amiga the pistorm just "flashes" on the TV the emu68 logo, if i plug the pistorm in to the Amiga it works straight away, i have a rev6 and yes done the jumper blob how to it get to BOOT the rest of the way?
@JanBeta Жыл бұрын
It should technically work the same through the Lazarus as it does in the CPU socket. Maybe try another jumper configuration on the Lazarus itself (I misread the instructions when I made the video, so the recommended settings are different than what I’m showing). You might want to give the connector a good cleaning, too. Sometimes they get dusty and that’s enough for not making a reliable connection.

Damit das in winuae erstellte hdf file auf dem pistorm funktioniert, musst du du das hdf image im Amiga festplattenformat rdb, also mit rigid disk block, erstellen. Das stellst du direkt beim Erstellen des hdfs in qinuae ein, nachher klappt es nicht mehr.Stamdardmässig nutzt winuae in windows z.b. den standard mdb oder gpt....
@JanBeta2 жыл бұрын
Hab ich so versucht, aber aus irgendeinem Grund funktionierte das erstellte File dann trotzdem nicht. Ich werde da nochmal rumprobieren. Wahrscheinlich hab ich irgendwo auf dem Weg was übersehen.

would you please try other types of rhaspberry pi with this , a flat Formfactor is nice , but now outside of the Amiga case there is plenty of space 🤷 would be a nice video to compare size and Benchmarks 🙏

You can use a Pi 3b+ but you need to remove a USB socket, or use a GPIO riser, else it will hit the PiStorm board. Else just stick to a Pi 3a+ or Pi Zero2

Cam someone.please explain when using a PI accelerator ( which one doesnt matter ) , how about to use the ports like HDMI, USB, ETHERNET? , is there a board like the omniport for the Pi, or do we need to beeing creative again and use rare methods?
@JanBeta Жыл бұрын
The PiStorm also works with the Pi 3B+ which has all the ports already on board, I guess that’s the easiest way if you have enough room to fit that model. The A Pi board is only really needed if you plan on using the PiStorm internally in an original Amiga case. Any adapter boards for the Pi should work with this to get the needed ports, too (although I haven’t tried). You just have to activate them in the configuration file.

Hi. I've ordered Lazarusstorm... my motherboard is rev 6A.. I cannot run lazarusstorm without removing the original MCU. In Your video @JanBeta, I see that You use external piStorm without removing procesor from Your Amiga. Any additional configurations or jumpers are needed to keep the original MCU inside and run piStorm externally?
@JanBeta8 ай бұрын
Did you close the jumper I pointed out on the Amiga PCB? That provides the clock signal to the PiStorm, it won’t start up without it. It should work without any problems with the original CPU in place. I’ve tried it on a couple of different A500 models now and it works fine with all of them.

Definitiv Geschmacksache, aber ich möchte meine Logitec K400+ auf keinen Fall mehr missen... Weder bei meinem Wohnzimmer-PC noch als tragbare Lösung bei Kundenbesuchen. Aber ja, für den Dauergebrauch eher Fingerbrecher... 8-) Der externe Pi-Storm ist auf jeden Fall etwas für den Wunschzettel... :-D

Ich finde die Tasten sind das kleinere Übel bei der Logitech, das Trackpad nervt mich persönlich viel mehr. Aber reicht auf jeden Fall, um schnell eine mobile Eingabemöglichkeit zu haben. Hängt hier normalerweise im Wohnzimmer am Raspi (mit RetroPie und Raspbian). ;)
