I'm donating this Amiga 500 with Pistorm and RGBTOHDMI to ‪@RoseTintedSpectrum‬ for his charity event this weekend (11th and 12th November)
I was given this over a year ago and filmed the first half of the footage back then. This weekend I put the rest of it together and finally finished this video!
I'll be on the charity stream at 7pm GMT for an hour so come and say hi!
Here is a video from Rosey explaining the charity:
• You DO NOT Want to Mis...
And a page for you to donate to this wonderful cause:

A lovely video and a nicely setup Amiga that I'm sure will make someone very happy. You're more than welcome to take the 8372A, like your good self I'm always glad to help anyone in the community. BTW at 11:35, that's 512k of SLOW memory. Technically I suppose you could call it FAST memory as its only visible to the CPU (until you do the mod when it becomes chip) but its called SLOW because its well... SLOW.

Cheers Glen! I always thought of fast memory as an ironic label 😆

Great video. Thanks for the shout out Lee. I had like you say completely forgotten I sent that membrane over to you. Lol. Glad it's going to be going to a good cause in an awesome Amiga :-) ❤

I was honestly sitting here and enjoyed every single second of this video. I love the Amiga range of computers and seeing them kept alive and working is just a joy to behold. Outstanding stuff :)

For the Pistorms, pins on the pistorm are of the wrong type unfortunately :-( There are longer, thinner pins that fit the spring socket. I made my first Pistrom with the wrong pins, and a 100 others with the thin ones ;-) I still find commercial products with the wrong pins :-(

Ah! Interesting. I'll check that out. Thank you.

@@MoreFunMakingIt It's clear that the rounded screwheads on the bottom of the posts were what was blocking the pin insertion - swapping those out for flatter-headed screws (you must have a biscuit tin full of computer screws, surely?) would have fixed the problem, and left a proper CPU socket on the board. Just my view - take it or leave it.

Sigh. Isn't this now just a mostly-emulated Amiga, inside a tatty A500+ plus case? Two Raspberry Pis inside a 7Mhz machine is ridiculous. imho, the beauty of these machines is using them how they were built, along with period-correct expansions. If you want a super fast Amiga with pixel-perfect graphics, just use that PI Model A that's running PiStorm directly with Amiberry, AND gain the option to easily use USB games controllers etc.
