That's a really nice product :) It's nice with some simple products that makes the Amiga 500 more useful at the same time keeps the stock amiga 500 feel.

[@RETROCENGO]

You are absolutley right. BUT i wanna tell you something, i started Watching a series on Netflix called Norsemen, its a GREAT show, i was laughing all the way in eposode one, couse there english was exactley like yours ;.) check it out, its SO fun show about vikings

[@UncleAwesomeRetro]

@@RETROCENGO hehe ok I have heard about it, I will check it out 😂

[@Spiderbuster71]

Really cool :D

[@bitoxic]

I got myself an SDBox.... very useful device!

[@RETROCENGO]

Nice, it’s simple and works great😊👍🏼

[@f1lupo]

cool Amiga HD and easy to use for WB1.3 users👍

[@RETROCENGO]

Absolutely. For disk/Gotek users it’s a simple cheap HD solution to have fun with

[@konvector4315]

nice

How do you get that Mount SD card on your Workbench disk?

[@hansu-nihon]

3:01 Do you know where to buy the USB power connector to take power from Disk drive port?

[@mattx5499]

Imagine having something like this back in Amiga's heyday. I'm waiting for a version that has this SD hard drive and it works as DF1 with adf loader similar to Gotek, so you can have your stock floppy drive and second one that loads floppy images. That would be a blast.

[@RETROCENGO]

Like a Gotek drive?

[@mattx5499]

@@RETROCENGO Yeah. Since it's also plugged into external floppy drive port for power it could also use it to read adfs from a second SD card or maybe the same one but from another partition/folder or something.

[@ninjazhu]

It has a gpl3 license, what if you use glue or screws that are not under gpl3, license breach?

[@oledave2540]

Can you provide a link to the mini version?

[@RDJ134]

That look like a great (nice priced) piece of hardware. You made me think if people have a compact flash card and dont want to take their Amiga apart, then you can put the new software on SD with this, copy the files to the CFC and run it from there. But for 40 euro's it;s a steal and good alternative.

[@RETROCENGO]

40 euro is for the spitfire500 this will cost less to produce, especially the mini model. Yes it’s great to transfer/copy files😊 great device

[@RDJ134]

@@RETROCENGO Imagine if you could go back in time and tell your younger self to buy google stocks and bitcoin.... i mean that one day you have so much memory and every game and demo on a small card on you Amiga ;) Great times for this old systems that still getting lots of love. Are you going to try the whole Pistorm thing for it?? The new Pi Zero 2 is out and lots of stuff happend on that area in the last few months.

[@RETROCENGO]

@@RDJ134 To be honest, im not impressed about what ive seen untill now, pi in amiga does nothing for me, linux and emulation is not my favorite thing :-) But as i have said before, when its done/propper programmed and a reseller sells a plug and play solution, ill buy and review it, not before :-)

[@RDJ134]

@@RETROCENGO Sorry for the late reaction, i respect your answer and get what you saying. :)

[@maboswansong856]

Hi! Awesome video! Where can I buy it? Ty ^^

[@ChannelReuploads9451]

May i ask what you are using to output to your TV (Scan Doubler ?) or is your TV 15khz capable ?

[@RETROCENGO]

I’m using a gold Rgb to scart cable on my old cheap LG tv. I think it’s from 2010 or so. Love the picture quality

[@vitobelflores6510]

Necesito 4 de esos para mis xt's & 286, i didin't find in nowhere. My fav is McdoLibre

[@systemchris]

I have the v1 of this from amibay... Really helpful for just transferring some files pver

[@RETROCENGO]

It’s all new for me, I don’t even know the difference between revision 1 and this new 2A yet, but yes it’s simple and works great

[@systemchris]

@@RETROCENGO I'm not sure either! I guess it's something about the USB power from floppy port?

[@RETROCENGO]

@@systemchris how does yours get power ?

[@systemchris]

@@RETROCENGO unexciting I plug it into a USB power supply but it's annoying

[@RETROCENGO]

@@systemchris ok, on the GitHub link, you can see how to build the power from floppy drive as in the video

[@andrasmill]

I not found the installer .adf file. Now google not my friend... My Amiga doesn't have fdd. Only Gotek. Where is the installer adf on the internet?

[@sideburn]

I just got one and I can’t get it to work on my Amiga 2000. I have a workbench disk and floppy drive but my is not working. It came with a driver disk but I can’t figure out how to make a disk with the driver on it.

[@sideburn]

@@drphilxr I’ve tried everything. The support from Amigastore sucks. No response since last Wednesday. I’ve done a parallel Port loop black test. Tried to manually mount the disk etc. I’ve sent them photos and screenshots. The last thing they said was “Can you tell me the revision of your A2000 board to test a similar one with the same kickstart in our SAT? On one occasion something similar happened to us with a revision of A3000 and it can be solved by modifying the SDBOX. If a modification is necessary, we will exchange the SDBOX for a modified SDBOX free of charge or refund you if you wish.” So I dunno. Maybe some day they will respond…

[@garyhart6421]

Wot no speed test ?

[@moskic153]

can you send my adf file that workebench disk you use please ? i but that sdbox with only not bootable drivers and i didi'n have working workbech disk 1.3 for that moment btw good channell cheers ;)

[@roscoe500]

I picked up an SDBox a while back from eBay. I have yet to find a Micro SD that works, have tried half a dozen. If anyone has a recommendation for a working card would be appreciated! The ones I've tried all report bad blocks on the Amiga side, but format fine in fat32 on the PC.

[@RETROCENGO]

Hmm I use San disk with no issues also no name cards never any trouble

[@roscoe500]

​@@RETROCENGOThanks, picked up a 4GB SanDisk thinking it would be a good bet but not had any luck with it. Tried other random cards I had already and no luck with them. The SanDisk worked the best I could open up on Workbench and see the files but then always bad block areas when copying over. Thanks will order a couple more to try.

[@RETROCENGO]

@@roscoe500 maybe the sdbox is with issius, that program are you using ?

[@roscoe500]

​@@RETROCENGOI've given up with the SDBox for the time being, problems with bad blocks again on latest SD card. Driver is v0.4.

[@crumplezone1]

@@roscoe500 I had the same problem as you an found that you need to make a partition of just less than 2gb and it worked for me
