Congrats mate!!! Thanks for the mention! Your channel will grow a lot more yet, it's growing faster than mine did for sure! That A2090A won't clash with ZIII RAM - totally different range, its above the 24bit range basically! The issue with the PiStorm is just about timing I think - some Zorro cards like it, others don't! Oooo - that ZIP drive PCB looks handy, I was going to bodge something but will try and get one of those! Some amazing donations from Darren there =O Those PC cards will be good to try and fit into the EATX! I've got a Pentium based one to try and fix, and will try doing the same I think!

Top job mate. I know why I watch your channel it’s the fact you don’t sugar coat anything and show mistakes made which a lot don’t. You seem a proper genuine lad and always willing to help people out 👏👏👏

I'm a little late to the party but, congratulations mate. Very well deserved. Its nice to see you're now loaded up with a load more projects for us all to watch.

Massive congratulations on the 10K subscribers! That's a criminally low number for such an entertaining and educational channel, but thankfully I'm subscribed, so at least I'm not at risk of any legal repercussions. As for what I'm interested in seeing? Well, all of it! I have a particular interest in the single board computers. I've got one of my own which I mercilessly tore from an ancient Polycom audio/video conferencing bridge. It was a massive hunk of a machine that took up a full quarter of a rack, and the SBC running it was a socket 7 pentium of some kind. I also used to have another Polycom rackmount server that was only 2U high (it was a voicemail server), which had a SBC with a socket 370 processor. Unfortunately my parents threw it away without consulting me when they moved out of the family home, along with a perfectly working 19" FD Trinitron monitor. Which is a long way of saying I'm interested in seeing the SBCs. Although perhaps you might want to work on those machines with the corrosion first, before they get any worse.

Awesome stuff CRG, im so happy you made it to 10k. here is to 20k and beyond !.. cheers and thanks for all the great videos

Thank yoi for your excellent content these past few years, it's been a pleasure to be a passenger on this journey, so it has, seeing everything come together for yoi and yoir channel indeed. Fairplay to yoi 🙂

Congratulations mate! Your stuff is really watchable and informative. Plenty of good stuff there for future videos. Here's to the next 10k!

Congratulations on hitting 10K - amazing achievement and well deserved. You make very interesting, well presented content :)

I'd definitely be up for some attempted motherboard revivals :) Also you looked a bit unhappy in the thumbnail, but the mention of how much that box weighed made me think you were in fact under-reacting!

Great donations, I look forward to seeing dedicated videos on those projects. Congrats on 10k subscribers!

One of my favourite channels. I always look forward to a new video.

Congratulations on reaching 10K! Looking forward to your upcoming videos.

Congratulations on reaching the big 10k, well deserved!

wow! 10000 is pretty wild! Grats!

Congratulations on the subscriber score. Have always been intrigued buy the SBC cards, but have never k ow what to do with them or why to install one. So would love a video on the subject. Keep up the good work and good fortune for the future.

Only just got to watch the video on the train journey to work, congratulations on the 10K matey

Well deserved! Can't wait for the next 90,000 :)

Congratulations on the 10,000 subs! I for one would like to see a video on recapping that small form factor PC motherboard.

Congrats Glen and I've always enjoyed how you show the 'mistakes' as well as the wins, warts and all as they say. Make no mistake, many subscribers have learnt so much from channels like yours (myself included) and continue to do so. Sometimes you're even too hard on yourself I think but it keeps me realistic that nothing everything is solved by just replacing a cap somewhere 🙂

Hi Glen, re the monitor, there's some pots inside that you can twiddle to sort the rolling picture issue. Be careful and use a long screwdriver though, there's not room to adjust them! The service manual for it is easily findable online.

Congrats! Keep up the awesome work!

Congrats lad, you deserve it with the work you have put in

Fantastic Glen. Absolutely fantastic 👏 Well done mate

Congrats on your 10k.. Keep up the good work.

Congratulations mate you put the work in and you deserve it

Great channel! Well done!

Congratulations on 10k, Glen. Great job, man. You really are one of the great, it has really been a learning experience watching your videos and I do find myself rewatching them from time to time. So I also decided to become a patron of yours (using my actual name) as a sort of thanks. I have already watched this once but I wanted to watch again because I just had to comment on some of the donations. But before that again, congratulations on hitting 5 digits. I need to start watching Gadget's channel more. I know there is also a clone of the Innovation SSI-2001, a SID card for the ISA slot. The 8-Bit Guy had a clone on his channel many years ago but I haven't been able myself to find one, maybe someone else knows. Not many games support this card but Ultima VI is one of them; BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Revenge is another if I am not mistaken. You know, I have had two thoughts: You had that Commodore case about which you once speculated if you could mod it to fit an Amiga motherboard. Ever since you build the 2000 EATX I thought you had scrapped that idea but now with the A2090 SCSI controller that idea came back to me. I'm pretty sure it's not it though so I am waiting with excitement about this new project. I had no idea that the Amiga parallel port wasn't 100% the same as on the PC. So now I might need one of those boards myself for an experiment I'd like to try on that platform. I really love the socket 370 Pentium IIIs. So if it's really only the caps keeping your board from working then by all means try and recap it, I would definitely be interested in seeing that. :) That TF360 is beautiful. But for me it'd be a purchase in stages as the price of 68060s is absolutely bonkers. I have grown an affection for vintage SBCs. I have managed to find a few but they are Pentium 1 and newer. ISA ones are a lot more expensive in my experience. I have however, yet to see one that didn't have onboard VGA so these two boards of yours are very interesting to see. And again also something I am looking forward to see on the channel in the future. I think the PS2 port on that bracket is a keyboard port and not a mouse port but I'm not sure as I know that some backplanes have an AT keyboard connector. The Sinclair QL is a beautiful machine. I was watching a Jay Miner interview or talk he had and he mentioned that at one point someone wanted to put a 68008 in the Amiga as the 68000 was a bit more expensive. Obviously that did not happen and the price of the 68000 went way down but it does make you wonder what if the QL had a 68000 and maybe crucially a 3.5" floppy disk drive instead of microdrives. I don't think it would outperform either the Amiga nor the ST but it is possible it would have the cheapest 16 bit personal computer and could have seen some people going for it. That would have been an interesting scenario. I also had no idea that accelerators for the QL were a thing so going from a 68008 to a 68020 will surely make the machine fly. Well, it will be faster for sure. There are QL emulators for the Amiga like QDos4Amiga just in case you want to experiment with that too. I found an old website which sold a CD with a lot of QL emulators but all the links seem to be dead so I don't know if that CD is still available. That Resound 2 sound card is great. It's by TexElec and TexElec has a lot of interesting cards. I believe you got a PS/2 in your motherlode many years ago. If you still have it, then TexElec sells MCA sound cards for that machine. Oh, that Just CPC 128K is indeed a clone of the CPC 6128! That is an awesome board. OK, this was way longer that I meant it to be, congratulations again, Glen. And to borrow from a certain podcast: and now I will shut up.

Congrats on the 10k! Well done!

Could you imagine consumers today having to go through a sector defect list on their brand new ssd drives. This kind of low level configuration was a common thing that was like buttering bread to most people back in the 80's to 90's. I remember having to low level format a 10MB hard disk using DOS Debug commands every month in order to map out the bad sectors and if you had any in the boot partition then the drive was a write off.

Congrats on the 10K. Keep it going.

15:48 really, I hoped for a while you just have the board recapped this time! Looking forward for the moment you give this board a little maintenance!

Congrats, i am glad i found this channel a while back. I think i was looking for somthing Amiga, :)

Wow, that's amazing!!!

Love this WYSIWYG great channel of you! That's the first wave, hope you see more soon! Cheers, M

Congrats on 10K. Seems like just yesterday you were washing parts in the dishwasher. 😂

Congratulations bud, well deserved. Just get those hands manicured and insured

congrats on 10k subscribers

Congrats!

I've gotten a lot out of your channel and I thank you. Grats and Regards!

43:22 the unknown port is a MEGA DRIVE 2 A/V Port. Something that the Retro Community™ likes to use for A/V Ports.

When you put in a disc in the ZIP drive, don't rest your fingers on the transparent plastic windows. It will get loose and fall in to the drive. ZIP drive plus can handle both SCSI and parallel on the same 25 pin connector. You can read "AutoDetect" on the cable. The old SCSI drive could need a start signal, but it could also be the Molex connector you used. If you look in it you can see that there is only one negative pin. Some devices need both negative to work. Keep that in mind when using that power supply. If you have 2 MB CHIP RAM in the Amiga 500 Plus, some games won't run till you install Fast RAM even if 2 MB should be more than enough ...

PRO TIP about the µSD Extension Cables: Check if the edge is beveled, if its not, bevel it (sandpaper, 120 or so, 45° angle)

Glen that random piece of plastic is from the memory expansion. Goes between the circuit board and the bottom metal plate.

So happy I found this channel. Wonder how many other hardcore Amigaheads there are in NI? I thought I was the only one for the last 25 years.

Congratulations always a pleasure to watch 🥂

I think the Zip100 Plus is switchable from parallel port interface to SCSI. I have dedicated SCSI Zip drives, as well as newer USB and Firewire versions. Havent had a parallel model since the mid 1990's when they were all the rage and a wonderful improvement over spanning files across stacks of floppies.

HAPPY SUBSCRIBERS 10k, well done.. :) it's all down to you being an amazing guy with fantastic content. Well done again:)....

Recap away! 😊

"you have a lot of nice toys" (blade runner)

Congratulations on reaching 10k! Love the videos. Keep up the good humor and honesty.

Congratulations! My library had a Sinclair QL assembler programming book. That's where I learnt 68000 assembler. I've never seen a QL!

I like how the videos are ... EDITED ....

Congrats buddy really happy for you. I understand KZfaq is so much work I started myself a year ago and still plodding on. Together we can all save those retro computers for future generations even though most of the time things go wrong lol 😂

The MESR-100, while certainly functional, isn't best suited for in-circuit measurements or testing SMD caps due to it's short leads/alligator clips. Does a fine job out of circuit through, long as you hold your zero. Those (VRM?) caps you tested in circuit might've been giving a false reading as they may be connected to the neighboring caps in parallel, or the otherwise circuit itself could be introducing inaccuracies. I however really like the MESR-100 and keep it around as it gives dynamic, real-time measurements which can be useful at times. Just make sure you discharge any caps prior. If you ever decide to treat yourself, the Peak Atlas ESR70 Gold is phenomenal. Make sure you get the needle test probes.

Congratulations on the 10k! 🎉 Looking forward to your YT plaque unboxing video soon!

26:10 - Note the reference to Beavis and Butthead below the Amiga and space key.

sinclair interface 1 and 2 had a pass through I am sure

Well done, you deserve more suscribers!! What annoys me most in the videos of some channel makers are the constant ding..ding...click suscribe popups. I stop those videos immediately I hear that suscribe ding and then unsuscribe.

...👏👍🖖

That's not PC Chips, it's Chips And Technologies, a company which specialised in PC chipsets and bus interface chips which was acquired by Intel in the late 1990s. They were a second source for some of the support chips in microchannel PS/2 systems.

A lot of stuff there that has fired my interest. Looking forward to future content

That QL card, that edge connector is a Eurocard connector AFAIK, I did do a quick search for it and there is a massive page on that and that is a remake. Will you be setting up a separate programming channel now for the Amiga?

About the hard drive, and it bothers me for such a long time: why on Earth do drive manufacturers think that NOT writing the capacity on the drive is a good idea? And when they somehow DO write on them in the later times, it is the smallest font size hidden in the middle of other text. The drives do have a type number sticker which corresponds the capacity, but you have to get Google or a magnifier to know...

Ref the old Amiga drive. Do you have an XT PC card? If so then maybe image using DD in linux. Linux can mount Amiga partitions, bit also DD’ed images will mount with Zulu SCSI. I used Ubuntu to image my old Amiga IDE drive and now have all partitions mounted on on my A4000 using a Zulu SCSI.

IDE Zips work with Amigas fine too. Dont do what i did though and Zap my 1200 with 12v due to a faulty ZIP

for imaging. get it connected to a computer running linux and use dd to image the drive. then you can use that image in uae and extract the data. or maybe even mount it in linux if it has one of the more common filesystems like ffs.

I thought those single board computers were pc compatibility cards for macs

Not that well edited - I have been laughing for the past 20 mins 0:23

Accepting donations - please don't become another grifting retro youtuber :(

Fantastic getting the 10k, very well deserved and brilliant channel too
