It’s the exorbitant markup that I have a problem with In regards to the TF blowup his problem with that was someone selling clones of the TF536 which wasn’t open source (yet). How much he earns is irrelevant you don’t get to just steal his

Unfortunately the market exists for insanely overpriced things for the Amiga and full of grifters who take open source hardware and sell it assembled for massive markups. Still, there are many of us who make open source hardware for the Ami

It costs a fortune because Apple will also replace the top case, keyboard and trackpad while they’re at it

> Length matching literally costs nothing Well arguably it does cost some time yet is utterly pointless on an ISA card (unless your traces are 40 meters long I guess) there's plenty of pedantic things you could waste time on designi

Why would anyone bother about controlled impedance or matched trace length on an ISA card of all things? At the speeds ISA runs at you could connect everything with wire coat hangers

It is this for me - since it's so heavily documented and we have the schematics it's super easy to troubleshoot these machines and to build new expansions for them today.

One of the most touted features of the Amiga at the time was its multitasking (Though most popular didn't even have caches to worry about) https://youtu.be/rhS7wrgfTKk

From my understanding the GBAPI card is meant to work on 500's too hence the ability to snap off the end of the edge connector (some others need -5 which isn't available on the 500 connector) but afaik the ACA500 is not friendly w

You can get pcbs made for peanuts and soldering through hole components requires hardly any coordination at all. People who have been soldering their whole life find it easy to solder SMD because they have the coordination to do it and the

In Aus the media is almost all either owned by Murdoch or held hostage by the government who cuts the budget any time they do honest reporting so there is definitely some value in democratic "rando" media imo

Doesn't matter too much for hobby projects though, even if they go EOL there's still plenty on eBay.

"What is sane for a hobbyist project" depends on the project and the wills of the designer. I've built a couple of 6502 based systems now and added VGA output and floppy support which probably would've been easier with a

A '816 would indeed be much better suited to access 512K of banked memory rather than banking through an 8K window but perhaps they don't think 65816 counts as retro enough, or maybe they're just masochists

The VGA output would be part of the IPMI solution for remote management, serial would be for out of band management too. Both are useful if you don't want to drive to the datacenter

The 65816 was designed to Apple specifications which explains the annoying 64K blocks etc. IMHO multiplexed address isn't a problem as it's simple logic to fix but having to keep track of 64K segments is more painful

That's a good point, I think I'd just heard that a long time ago and not really thought about it but with much larger features it should actually be more resilient.

Many jobs ago we had an outage caused by 2 drive failures in a Raid 5 system, that was resolved by banging the drives on the ground a couple of times before putting them back in. If I still worked with physical servers I'd be carrying
