The V2 is actually quite a big step backwards, buggy and with features removed. Get the V1 instead if you can.

That's too bad. I installed the V1 on a revision 4.x board and it worked like a charm.

I see two issues with it.
One is that I can not update the firmware without a lockup on the V2 that I already have in my Amiga600. And this one that I just recieved, locks up when I try and update the firmware in my Amiga500 Revision 6a that are my 500-Desktop. The only way I can update, or bring it back from a lockup. Is to install it in my Amiga500 Revision 5 machine, and run the Resque disk.

The other is issue is:
If I use a low grade monitor, then it will make some slight ghosting effects in Workbench or other pieces of software, that have white or light grey background. I see nothing in most games.

As for the bricking/locking of the scandoubler. Then I suspect that it is related to the Agnus in some form. Or it is related to over 512k of Chipram. As far as I understand by snooping around on Individual Computers forum, then it is shipped as an OCS devinise setup. There is a setting in the Tool that one can download, in wich it can be kicked into ECS mode. So my guess, is that it might be related to the Agnus. On the other hand. It is running well as of now, and I can not begin experimenting before after X-Mas.

Been long time last time I had a Compaq LTE 386s/20 (discontinued model in summer 1993) from reseller for $1,000, this was my first notebook computer for college.

Just bought a Compaq LTE Lite/25 to work on, waiting for computer to come to me, my xmas present. I know I need to get software for it to set it up (software configuration to set CMOS settings and few utilties for power management.) Do you know where to get these? These came in really big packaging and is usually came with few 1.44" floppy disks with each LTE series notebook.

Cheers,

Great Northern aka Canada.

That's the thing. The V1 have been sold out for the last two years. And it will not be produced anymore, because some of the components can not be sourced. And if I find a V1, then it is a used without varanty and extremely expansive. Nearly twice the price sometimes.

I haven't had any issue with my voodoo 2 on Windows 95 or Windows 98

This is actually about an Amiga product called the Indivision ECS V2 and the first revision was the V1.

Been looking for one of these for a while but online prices tended to put me off, so am very lucky to have found one on local classifieds more in my price bracket; an ASUS P2B-DS in excellent condition (Rubycon + other caps all look fine). It's a D02 pcb with uprated VRMs but not the later clockgen chip. Already tested with a pair of sloketed coppermine 850MHz cpus - happy days 😀

I bought Sid Meyer's Railroad Tycoon complete in box and an Apple IIgs case.

I'm going to put a Mac Mini into the Apple case. I can uses the extra space to to improve the cooling -- which is horrible with Apple's hardware in general -- while also improving the looks.

I hope this case shows up in the same condition as pictured and nothing is broken.

Second Ultra Sparc II 450MHz processor card for my Ultra 60. Processor card is without the plastic shroud in the picture. It is quite a beast compared to for example Slot 1 processors of the same era.

I've never seen anything like that. Looks pretty cool. 😎

Interesting to see people still enjoy using those. Meanwhile I'm at work throwing things like these to trash: 😒

Oh no would have loved to have those! I had the same ones for years. Target was (is?) a big brand here.

EDI: this is not meant as a negative comment. Just an observation 😀 I've thrown out stuff that was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I keep seeing those pop up at eBay Classifieds, sometimes as cheap as 10€. Always wondered if I should get one... what do you guys think about this card?
Edit: Nevermind, just saw that you already opened a separate thread: M-audio Audiophile 2496

Otherwise, nice finds! I never found any interesting retro hardware on local flea markets. People sell all sorts of random crap, but no computer parts at all.

That Amiga 2000 is easily worth more than the rest of it all combined to me. Wonderful find. What are your plans with it once you repair the corrosion damage? Any upgrades in the pipeline?

I'm not sure, to be honest. I'd at least like to find a hard disk controller for it, but searching on eBay, I could not find one listed for less than what I paid for the machine itself with or without a drive included. 😲 Perhaps I could get a Buddha board, but it's only marginally cheaper..still pretty pricey. For now I'm pretty sure it'll stay stock at least until I can find something interesting to stick in it.

on eBay there is a SCSI controller for $43 + shipping.

Hey guys

I won and got my actual NOS Genious serial mouse home today. Installed drivers for dos 5.0 & wfw3.11 and it works great on my Toshiba T5200. Awesome 😀

It would be rude not to, right 🤣 😀

Not sure of the exact specs atm, but probably something like:

CPU - dual sloketed coppermines (I know the modded v2 MS6905 Masters work with 850/256/100s, but I'm less sure about the 1000/256/100s, as the one I have to hand seemed unstable in single processor mode)
RAM - 1GB of PC100/133, although I did see a post here that these boards mis-report that much, but mine seems happy to report the full amount even if I mix brands and speeds of 256MB simms.
Video - probably something ATI, a 9800 Pro or maybe an X800
Sound - Creative, thou not sure what
Storage - SCSI all the way, thou may add some ATA/IDE as well
PSU - have a few period correct Enlight / AcBel between 300-400W that should do
Case - space dictates this will not be a full tower build, but I have some nice Macase / Enlight midi-towers from the period.
OS - may try out a few including 2000 Pro, XP Pro, W7 and maybe even Warp

Liking your dual workstation build btw 😎
