Cosa sono le DiagROM?

Le DiagROM sono delle ROM diagnostiche per gli Home Computer della serie Commodore Amiga. Queste ROM tornano molto utili in alcune sistuazioni, tipo quando il computer non esegue correttamente il boot o si blocca.

Changelog:

• New memory-detection routine that hopefully finds more memory.
• A600/1200/4000 IDE detection.
• Some bugfixes. (look at releasedata for more info)
• Powerup extras:
  • press left mousebutton at power on, Screen will be disabled and IF there is fastmem present, fastmem will be used instead of chipmem. Serial console is only option.
  • if you press right mousebutton at poweron. Computer will use the beginning of detected ramblock instead of end.
  • (you can combine both buttons at boot)
• fire on joystick at power on:
  • Serialport output is disabled. this to make the machine to start with broken Paula. DiagROM also tries to detect broken paula at start and will disable serial if detected. (this detection is far from 100%)

Pratico e funzionale adattatore progettato da Rolo che permette di utilizzare la Rolo Multi-Cartridge anche sulla console Emerson Arcadia 2001 / GIG Leonardo e Hanimex HMG-2650.

L’eprom che va installata nella Multi-Cartridge contiene 64 giochi tutti perfettamente funzionanti.

Questa è un’ottima alternativa per chi non vuole spendere una cifra importante per la Multicart Arcadia 2001.

Grazie Rolo per questo fantastico adattatore per la Multi-Cartridge.

Another 2 x Gotek (HXC) with some Enhancements.

Miglioramenti:

• OLED Display (versione azzurra)
• Piezo Buzzer.
• Encoder Rotativo con manopola.
• Firmware HxC by J.F. Del Nero.

Gallery:

Crediti per il miglior firmware Gotek a Jean-françois Del Nero.

Perché buttare via un lettore Floppy Disk Drive della Commodore con la testina interrotta potrebbe diventare un’ottimo sistema per pulire i Floppy Disk.

Come fare ? basta disassemblare tutta la parte che controlla il movimento della testina compresa la testina stessa.

L’alimentatore utilizzato e da 12v con almeno 1A, il collegamento lo vedete nella foto.

Buona Pulizia.

E’ stato rilasciato un nuovo aggiornamento firmware per l’ultimate-64 / Ultimate 1541 II / Ultimate 1541 II+ di Gideon e miglioramenti di Markus.

Changelog of Ultimate-64 / 1541 Ultimate 2+ by Gideon

• NEW: Audio Mixer
• 1541 Ultimate II+ only:
  • NEW: External Audio In
• 1541 Ultimate II and II+ only:
  • Can now be used in Ultimate 64
• Ultimate 64 only:

  • Interface type: Ultimate Menu picture overlay (HDMI-only)
  • USB keyboard support. Like earlier firmware, press scroll/lock to enter/exit the Ultimate menu.
  • Replacement of Charrom and BASIC.
• Display *.64 files as a directory via FTP:
  • Every chosen FTP username enables this feature (*.d64 are shown as directory AND as *.d64 files)
  • The username “d64″ deactivates the listing of *.d64 files (*.d64 are only shown as directory)
  • The username “d642″ disables this feature completely, (*.d64 are only shown as files)

.. and there are many improvements not present in the changelog.

Note for the Ultimate 64:

You will need a kernel, basic and character rom after the upgrade. These roms are not included in the update. These roms are distributed with vice-emu, but you can also find them on zimmermans.net.

For instance, you could use these roms: 901225-01.bin (char), 901226.bin (basic) and 901227-03.bin (kernal). Roms with the .rom extension should also work.

• You can now flash more alternative kernals and floppy roms (1541 Ultimate II+: 2, Ultimate 64: 3).

Nuova riparazione per la TV Irradio XTC-506R

Sembra che questo piccolo TV/Monitor della Irradio soffra sempre di qualche problema, la scorsa volta c’erano dei corto circuiti causati dalla pressione del Tubo Catodico sul PCB.

Questa volta invece sono saltate le saldature, sarebbe stato molto triste gettarlo nella spazzatura.
