zeratul2099<p>Day 7 of <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Amigapril" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Amigapril</span></a></p><p>Here are some stats on the PiStorm-powered A1200. I think the number in picture two right of the individual Amiga models is the factor how much faster this one is compared to the specific model. This is of course only the CPU crunching power and doesn&#39;t affect the graphic capabilities. But this thing can now do 1274 times as much maths as my A600 from back then 😄</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/homecomputerhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>homecomputerhistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/homecomputer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>homecomputer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>amiga</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>commodore</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/commodoreamiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>commodoreamiga</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/pistorm" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>pistorm</span></a></p>

ITs History!
The #Atari 1200XL was a 8bit #homecomputer running a #MOS 6502 #CPU at 1.79 MHz. When this beautiful machine was launched in 1983 with 64Kb RAM the price was under thousand dollars, but... https://youtu.be/JyA5tA5mmYY

$omehow, in the #8bitwar the #C64 was much more popular even when specs been almost the same. The difference in #BASIC language was less significant for the success. Most likely that competition was won by #Commodore because Jack Tramiel took the advice of his grandfather so serious.

It's day 6 #AmigApril

Some weeks ago I got a little upgrade for this A1200. I had an RasPi3 laying around, so I bought a PiStorm extension board for the Miggy. And this thing is wild.

It is like every other turbo card for the A1200. It is placed in the trapdoor and replaces the CPU, extends the memory and does a lot more stuff. But instead of a faster 680x0 CPU or a FPGA (both very expensive) there is a Rasberry Pi, that emulates a super fast 680x0 CPU in software.

Think about it. There is original hardware, but the CPU is software-emulated by another computer. And that emulation is faster than any original CPU ever has been. That's completely wild.

More "extremely exciting" Commodore 116 keyboard work:

Instead of fixing the broken keypads, I decided to replace a part that I just couldn't stand looking at, but otherwise worked - the very dirty and butcher-soldered keyboard cable. But apart from the eye sore, I also wanted to make the keyboard detachable again. Perfect excuse.

So here we go. A pair of Adafruit pitch adapters, a flat flex cable, some soldering. Looks better, and it's working.

The previous hacked-up keyboard ribbon cable still attached to the keyboard PCB, and the mainboard, and the parts of the new adapters and cable laid out on the desk.
The new adapters assembled and connected, also soldered to the keyboard PCB. Also above i lays the old cable and the butchered original keyboard flat-cable socket on the mainboard, that the ribbon cable was attached to, for comparison.
The new adapter is now soldered to the mainboard as well, and the two ends are connected via the new flat flex cable.
Keyboard test of the Diag264 running, showing all keys are functional at least on the circuit level. A small piece of foil was used to connect the contacts, not the rubber pads yet. Below that, the mostly disassembled C116 under test.
