RGB to HDMI Review for the Amiga 500 - 10MARC Episode 91

 This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am reviewing the cool new RGB to HDMI interface that so many in the Amiga community are talking about. Will this upscaler live up to it's reputation, or is it a big (pi) zero? Take a look and find out!

Ep 90 - Adding a Hard Drive LED to a Vampire (Or other 44 pin IDE interface)

 This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am exploring options to add a hard drive LED to the Apollo Vampire and other accelerator cards with the 44 pin IDE header. Join me as I show you how to hook the little guy up!

In a nutshell, we need a cable on pin 39 for the activity light, and pin 42 for power, and then tone the power down with a 330 or smaller Resistor. Interested in some of David Z's 3D prints? Get in touch with me, and I will get you in touch with him! Want a Vampire card for yourself?
