One of my viewers - Everton Shorts - mentioned to me that the A570 retains it's special features even with a 2.x or 3.x ROM installed. Thanks for correcting my misinformation. I appreciate it! I may keep it at 1.3 for a while since it is my only 1.3 machine

Nice always nice to see what you can accomplish with an old friend. I have been playing around a lot these past few weeks with the A500 and A500+ and I have some old Expansion Systems Data Flyer SCSI/IDE and 8mb RAM Boards I need to repair after which I could use them on the A1000 or A500. I used those boards years ago first on the A1000 then on an A500 and A2000. On the A2000 I used it to run my first CD-ROM Drive and I still have the installation software for it. I just need to fix it and I see Chris Edwards just repaired his Data Flyer for an A500 so I pulled my old boards out and I think its time to make them work again. One thing about Amiga stuff is it keeps me busy and these videos on KZfaq keep putting ideas in my head and so its never boring.

Ahh, all those various OS1.3 file requestors are so nostalgic!

OMG I realize I must have caught Littleguytis a while back! Now I at least know who the super spreader was. :)

If you're on SCSI device don't forget the A590 Setup Disk contains a 1.3 compatible HD ToolBox and 1.3 installation script too, that will copy Extras 1.3 and Amiga BASIC too. For what it's worth. Deluxe Paint III 3.25 (the one that came with the a500 plus and A600 in the UK) contains a better 1.2/3 compatible file requester, not quite reqtools.library standard but contains the ASL like Drives and Assigns buttons which is much better than the older DPaint II/III df0: df1: etc buttons

Another cool video Doug! Everytime I watch, I learn something new! 😎 Not sure about that crazy dude at the beginning though, I really fear for his state of mind! 😁 Also liked young Doug's hair, you should think about bringing that back... "Mullet over"...

Awesome little guy's lol love your videos......I will share to my Facebook page.....💞

LOL Pete you legend! Ok I'll watch the episode soon!

I just purchased a 570 in excellent condition and will try doing these.

Nice video Doug!!!!, always learning something from your episodes.

Excellent episode Doug.. Got all my hardware in place so hopefully I'll get to pimp mine this weekend.Cheers buddy..... Evan

You could drill the scsi port backplate for a switch and run a jumper to the ram module,making the ram accessible from the outside.

Whoaaaaaa cool , seee me on that Patreon Fadeout😎thanks again and I learned again 👌🙏

Yaaayyyy!! Great video Doug.

Watching your Video tells me that I have to find my A570, I know it must be somewhere in the house... I can remember one CDTV Game, Xenon 2 Megablast, that was cool, because it has that cool CD Audio (the rest is the same as the Floppy Version) But that Game has really cool music and the CDTV Version was the best available, you should try to find that.

Check out this pimped out A570. *Slaps top* - You can fit so much RAM into this little guy.

i really miss my Amiga 500... :(

First of all, congratulations and thank you for the informative videos of the amazing Amiga. In the video, around the 12th minute, you say, with the CD-ROM you can burn something that the Amiga reads and identifies. Of course, I didn't tried everything, but I get tired of ruining CDs and there's a lot that Amiga doesn't read. Can explain how to burn CDs, care and advantages. So how can we make an only data CD so we can introduce NET software in the A570? Thank You

@10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast Hi Doug, what did you settle on to attach for A500 video output to the LCD in this episode (65). It looks almost free if artifacting on the mouse movements and gives a nice clear image. I have a 500 and 1200 (and hopefully soon a 600) that I want a good scan doubler. Been testing several options and am not entirely happy. Thanks!

Hi, I did a new WB1.3 installation a few days ago with an HCC533 accelerator and I have found some problems with software that is tied to the name of the floppy. The solution is to assign this floppy name to the folder name in the startup-sequence. I don't now if the option 'clone all' can help with this. BTW I repaired my A570 some time ago so... it's time to look for the RAM expansion. Great videos!!!

So glad I waited to sit down and enjoy this one properly. Really nice to see workbench 1.3 get some love. Usually only AmigaLOve gives 1.3 well presented screen time. I and forgotten about the lack of create folder.. I used to cli mkdir and then copy empty.info to mynewfolder.info until my mate mentioned that was what the empty folder was really for to just copy it using the mouse. Sometimes the easy and obvious escapes 😁 Now I want a CD drive just to do this. What do you mean I don't need it because I can accomplish the same thing with my ACA500? I really should spend some more time with Photon Paint again. It was my art program of choice even going as far as purchasing Photon Paint 2. (Even though I had a backup first) So again another great video and another inspiration to turn the old girl on. And loved that you used MadPetes video as the leas in.

Hey Doug, can't see any mention of who or where to get that adaptor board that plugs into the A570 slot.. I know it's like 3 years ago, but any idea where you got it from?

Hey do you have any tips on taking the top cover off without breaking it? Wanted to peek inside mine while I wait the SCSI kit from eBay but couldn't get the top off. Don't want to break it.

aww i want a PSA for me..... love it though great job all... when you originally do a 1.3 to hdd you need to shell rename startup.HD to startup-sequence

I just got my A572 ram expansion as self-solder set. Can you give me a hint if the SCSI controller is available as fan project, either pre-assembled or as a kit? Is this technically the same as for the CDTV? Great stuff to pimp my A500 (which has been neglected for too long in favor of a full-blown A1200)

Look at that handsome young man. Can you grow that mullet again starting immediately?

I've finally got my A500 setup with the A570, the 2MB module is installed as well as the SCSI controller, however, I've searched high and low for a SCSI2SD 5.5 drive which I can't seem to find, can I use a different version that's compatible with the controller?

I sold my A570 5 years ago for € 500 .... 😫

So, just burn something on a CD, and the Amiga recognizes it in the Workbench?

You say that you will lose features using it with 2.x or 3.x. I use mine with a 500Plus, what features have I lost?

i should have bought one of those external scsi2sd cards yesterday. they ran out overnight :(
