Didnt buy anything but just spotted this advertising
https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/a … 045977-225-1801

This case looks very cool. I bought a very similar one not long ago and some people here were very interested

The bad news: has to be picked up today (germany)...

I've exchanged a lot of XBOX 360 collector's and limiteds stuff for this beauty:

Amiga 600 (without HD) Kickstart 37.3 v2.05 - excellent conditions - always been stored inside a box. Now, I'm preparing CF with WorkBench 3.1 to store with adapter in internal IDE. Nice the PCMCIA addition.

Got this great Thrustmaster setup today for 50 bucks total. It came with:

F-16 FLCS
F-16 TQS
RCS
A gameport card by Gravis
a bunch of port adapters, including PS/2>DIN5, PS/2>USB and (I assume) PS/2>COM
two floppies with ThrustWare drivers for FLCS and TQS — I'll upload the disk images to Vogonsdrivers thread already.

I am a bit confused as to how this all connects to each other and to my P-3 machine's PS/2 ports.

No. WB 3.0 was for AGA Amigas only anyway and should not be used on OCS/ECS Amigas.

Listen to this man. Just get a KS3.1 ROM chip.

Now that is a beauty. Congrats on your new Amiga. I too have a 600, and I am running WB 2.10 on it.
It is a nice machine and I recommend memory upgrade, as one megabyte is too little.
When I first got mine, it had a faulty system board, and I bought a recapped one, and now it is running fine.

I've successfully run wb3.1 on a600 using stock rom. You need a softkick utility from aminet and 3.1 rom image. But you lost some ram for this, so it's better to expand ram or add accelerator.

Technically, it's not running with stock ROM if you soft-kick Kickstart 3.1. Also, it's not legal unless you bought the ROM anyway. And it's not fully compatible either, as there's no MMU blocking reads from the original ROM location. Only well-written software won't cause havoc.

The Sound Blaster Book by Eric Oostendorp; Josha Munnik
The Complete Sound Blaster by Howard C. Massey (not just for Creative Sound Blaster cards from the description)
The Ultimate Sound Blaster Book by Moore, Martin L.

Here's to hoping that the ones that originally came with disks actually come with the disks.

Fine - it can be pretty expensive I suppose, if I had to decide to do this - I'll take a look around for these chips, just to know.

Thanks brostenen, I've always had good feelings about these wonderful machines - never had one Amiga, when I was young, but every afternoon after shool I ran to a friend of mine home, playing hours and hours with his Amiga 500 (maybe Plus, I don't remember). I was just too poor for one of these machines... I was happy with my 286 and 486 SX for many years.

These expansions are expensive for sure... maybe in the future, or better if I'll find a PCMCIA RAM expansion I've seen on Youtube.

It will not function correctly with software trying to directly access ROM locations, it is a stop gap measure that will be unreliable at best. He would be better sticking to WB 2.1 or just getting a KS3.1 ROM chip, they aren't terribly expensive anyway. Regardless, he needs more RAM for a WB3.1 setup, 1MB won't ever cut it, especially if you are sacrificing something like 256K to relokick.

X3 AOpen AP5T boards the small one seems a little different, i love that brand, they seem very well made for a Chinese boards, but i guess there was some good ones among the most China junk.

That site claims that boards support AMD K6-III will be interesting to know if its true will be great. But if i can recall correctly as K6-III was AMD only, should not run on intel chipset, but who knows...

An working 8086 8 bit board, with Fujitsu clone, i guess the ISA cards are working as well. A pair of x2 32MB EDO memory and Kingston ones most strange thing they are from USA...

X2 ISA IDE HDD controllers, as i did not have a single one, now i will be able to finish my 386 build with 450MB Seagate ST3491A HDD...

All things are working except the 386 AMD DX mobo (in the middle with the sooldered CPU), that don`t seems to turn screen on.........

All for 35 euros

Nice p66 gold top. I really wanted a p66 back in 1993.
