I’ve wanted an original copy of the CDTV version of Xenon II since I got my CDTV. It is extremely rare. I now finally have it!

Yep! 🙂

An #Amiga 1200 landed on my repair bench that was stuck in a boot loop. DiagROM showed Paula behaving weird. Found the Paula capacitor loose. Can you then see what I spotted was wrong with it afterwards?
So obvious that I wasn’t even looking for it 🤦

I guess my bag was ejected 😂

DoohicKEY v2 prototype. Might not look like it, but it has about a dozen new features. It will require a second revision before it is released and there is more firmware still to write for it. But the basics are working.

I built the prototypes for DinKEY 600 and DinKEY 1200 yesterday. Cotton bud for scale.

Two boards codenamed “DinKEY” are amongst the four PCB prototypes I sent off to get made today. Firmware written for two of those boards too.

Hotel trick I learnt this weekend: if you don’t have a bottle opener with you, the arm of the spring loaded mechanism for the door works great.

I decided to move my main soldering bench to a lower desk. I was regretting starting half an hour in, but now I think I like it.

That’s new… box didn’t fit in the postal bag, so the stuck the sticky closing strip to the box.

I'm holding onto all my bad memories. Good thing they're easy to bag up.

I give you the @github.com 26 day month 🙂

My #Amiga 1000 at @norwichamigagroup.bsky.social earlier this evening 🙂
June 28, 2025 at 11:00 PM
A quick 3D print later and this #Amiga 1000 now has a side HDMI port for the RGBtoHDMI with audio capture. Ready for the @norwichamigagroup.bsky.social meetup tomorrow.

Just changed the batteries in mine. This is 7AM in my workshop with the window open. I have a fan on me right now, I might move that to the diagnostics bench so I can work there today.

An #Amiga 500 RGBtoHDMI with audio test…

Testing the output of an #Amiga 1000 RGBtoHDMI with audio injection.
I’ll be opening up orders soon 🙂
(A500 version also on the way)

A friend gave me this boxed beauty last night. On loan but with the option to buy it from him.

Logged onto my old email account today. It appears 7 months on, I have been unbanned by WordPress.

I hope the people that mattered got unblocked, and that they have been given an apology.

Needed to do some TPM testing at work and the only Infineon TPM I had was on mikroBus 😂

Figured out why my Fluke 45 stopped working. It actually had the battery module in it (I didn't realise) and the battery module is dead.

It will be a challenge at least. It at least looks a bit better 🙂
April 15, 2025 at 12:20 PM
I might have found a board which is too much of a challenge…

I upgraded my @frame.work laptop recently, which in this case meant a motherboard swap and a new matte display. For a small fee you can buy this case. It turns my old motherboard into a desktop PC, which will be for @appleyardcandles.bsky.social to use in her new workshop.

It took me way too long to spot this blob of plastic. It was causing the 3D printer bed leveling to constantly fail.
