Upgrading my Amiga 3000 with an A3640 Accelerator - Episode 120

This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am getting back into my lovely Amiga 3000 and putting a 25 Mhz 68040 under the hood! The only problem is that the A3640 cards are not "officially" supported by the Desktop A3000 and for good reasons! Join me as I talk about the issues and how I overcame them and made a stable and fast A3000!

Do you need a Bhudda IDE card in your life? Get it here!

How about a SCSI2SD in case you have a SCSI card?

This is a great article about upgrading the A3000 with an A3640:

Upgrading my Amiga 500 from OCS to ECS - Episode 119

This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am upgrading my shiny new Amiga 500 to a full ECS machine with 1 MB of CHIP RAM and all the fancy-pants ECS video modes! Join me as I go over the procedures, including the modifications to your Amiga 500 to upgrade it, and review the nice ECS Chipset. It is more powerful than you might think!

How about that cool Ace2b from Individual Computers? Or ordering an 8372A Agnus Chip? Check out the goodness here!

Remember, to use the 1 MB Agnus, break the connections between pads 2 & 3 on J2, bridge pads 1 & 2 of J2, and cut the trace for JPA7.
