This week on 10 MARC I am exploring my Amiga 500 and upgrading my A570 CD-ROM Drive with 2 MB RAM and a SCSI controller, and topping it off with an SCSI2SD drive!
We also have an important special message from our friend Pete Morgan

10MARC Episode 64 - 15 Khz LCD Monitors for the Amiga
This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am reviewing 5 different LCD monitors that work with our 15Khz RGB port on the Amiga. My test machine is an AGA Amiga 1200, and I will be covering various Amiga resolutions, and quite importantly, how they work with games.
Check out the list of 15Khz monitors here:

10MARC Episode 63 - USB on the Commodore Amiga
This week on 10MARC I am covering some of the many USB peripherals we can use on our Amiga computers. If you have a USB enabled Amiga, you can do more than just use a USB mouse, keyboard and flash drive. Join me as I experiment with a few interesting things we can do (or try to do) with USB on the Commodore Amiga.
Order a RapidRoad USB and/or X-Surf 100 right here:

Episode 62 - ImageFX for the Amiga Review and Tutorial
This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am reviewing the "New" release of ImageFX 4.5 - It is not really new, but it is finally available again! Come join me as I cover installation and go through some of the issues I found with the software. Bust rest assured this is worth every penny! Warm up your Amiga Computer and let's get to work editing photos on your Amiga.
This software works great on any Amiga, but really flies on an A1200 or A4000 AGA Machine. It also handles RTG (Retargetable Graphics) quite well.
It handles digitizers like the Newtek Digiview, Macrosystems V-Lab and even the Newtek Video Toaster quite well.
Where do you buy this?

This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am importing JPEG images into my Amiga 1000 and converting them into HAM 6 images, and then creating a presentation with Amigavision. All of the photos were taken during the Quarantine right in my yard. Come join me and learn more about getting JPG files into your Amiga!

Episode 59 - Using PDF files on the Amiga
This week on 10MARC I am covering several clever ways to open up PDF files on your Amiga. Be aware that in order to really do this you will need an AGA Amiga or Vampirized A500/600, or a Big Box Amiga with an RTG card. There just is not a really good ECS PDF reader...
Program information:
Download Ghostscript here:
www.whoosh777.com
Download EasyGS from Amigakit:
https://amigakit.amiga.store/easygs/easygs.lha
Get GSGui .38 right here...
http://aminet.net/package/text/dtp/GSGui_68k
Download RNOPDF for your RTG System:
http://jpv.wmhost.com/jpv_software/RNOPDF/
Want to try APDF for your ECS machine? Don't say I did not warn you...
http://aminet.net/package/gfx/show/Apdf_common
and don't forget that there are three files you need to download to use APDF. Take a peek at the instruction on the above link.
