Anyone have a DEC system with a controller that talks to a Fujitsu Eagle
(M2350A, M2351A, M2360A, M2351A). These are modified SMD interface drives
that attached to VAX with controllers from Emulex and others.
Alternatively, anyone just have such a controller
I started a project a a while back to come up with a nice way to run
Amiga Emulation. Came up with a prototype recently based on an HP t5735
Thin client that has enough power to run the emulation smoothly.
Finally got all the bugs worked out and I thought id sell some that I
built up. I call it the Amiga Mini
Specs are as follows
HP T5735 Thin Client
1GB RAM, 1GB ATA Flash Disk, Holds Windows Embedded
16GB flash disk, Holds UAE and all other relevant files
8GB USB Flash Drive that mounts in workbench for easy file transfer.
Over 1000 WHDLoad Games come preinstalled on the 16GB flash drive, Along
with 500 Demos.
AmigaForever is also included.
Comes with ClassicWB 3.1 UAE installed and the system boots into Amiga
Workbench 3.1, The cool part is it has Picasso emulation, so you get
32bit color at 1280x1024, Looks great. Boots right into Workbench 3.1
as soon as the system powers up. You can also configure UAE by just
hitting the F12 button.
Here is a youtube of the prototype
http://youtu.be/HPRHPqXSgRs
The internet is fully functional as well. So you can browse the web
with AWeb, Chat on AmIRC with it. Transfer files via FTP or share
files via SMB.
Im asking $120 shipped anywhere in the USA. Good for peeps who want to
see if they like the Amiga Platform, and its cheaper then finding a
tricked out expanded amiga. I have 5 available, If there is demand for
more I will build more of them.
The KERNAL ROM in my Commodore SX-64 took a dive, and I don't have a spare.
Far as I know it can be replaced with simple 8K PROM/EPROM.
I've got the correct .BIN file - is someone willing to make a kernal ROM
chip for me? If you don't have a suitable chip in your stock, I'm sure I
can turn one up on ebay and have it sent to you.
(And no, it's not the same as the C-64 kernal rom.. close but not
identical.)
TIA for any assistance. Please feel free to mail me off-list.
Todd has had the option to come get the disks for weeks now, as long as
our schedules could work. However Im not going to let a complete and
total stranger around my kid. And I have him for the next 3 weeks. If
he wants to come get them after that then so be it.
You know I did this project because I wanted a cheap affordable amiga
compatible computer, I put alot of time and work into it to get it all
to work right. I have one Amiga, and my son wanted one, so thats why
I built one, and I figure why not build a few up and find them homes.
Its a cheap way for peeps to get into amiga
I did look at AROS, great operating system, I use it on a dell that
has compatible ethernet. However it networking doesnt work with these
thin clients.
And Geneb, theres no need to start a bashing session about my past, I
am quite aware of my past, and so are others, However I have learned
>from my mistakes and run an honest show now.

I have an eprom programmer. It will do most all the 24 and
28-pin
EPROMS. I'm going on vacation for a couple days, but ought to
be back Tuesday night or so. I have drawers of EPROM chips
salvaged from odd gadgets.

Amusing 20 min interview on the CBC from 1979, in which Ted Nelson
tries to convince the vision-less interviewer of the benefits and
future of personal computers. Ted gets a little snarky to counter the
derision of the interviewer.

(Hit the listen link, the Ted Nelson portion starts around 29:00, or
listen to the whole thing (may have to wait for the audio to load to
be able to skip forward)).
Pretty much just to admire. Most capstans are probably goo by now, and
the stuff in this kit too.

Hopefully got the link right this time.
The vendor has quite a bit of other stuff, I just stumbled over this and
thought of recent discussions.
Looks like he set fire to 1 of 3 Kaypros he had by plugging in and
powering on one with a loose CRT. Not so smart.
