RGBtoHDMI Review for the Amiga 1000 - Episode 105

 This week on 10 Minute Amiga retro Cast I am reviewing the great flicker fixer for the OCS/ECS Amiga - the RGBtoHDMI. The Amiga 1000 adapter I am reviewing grabs some specific signals not normally available in the A 1000 Denise chip to make it work so well.

10MARC EP104The Parceiro Card for the Amiga 1000 Review - Episode 104

 This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I am reviewing the clever new Parceiro card for the Amiga 1000, and probably manage to mispronounce it at least three times.

Join me as we explore the features of this great product and learn a bit more about its limitations, and its future potential! What a great time to own an A1000 Want to order your own Parceiro card for your A1000? Contact David Dunklee via this email address: Amiga.Parceiro (at) outlook (dot) com Be sure to tell him that "Amigalove" sent you for your discount price. And then tell him "10MARC is awesome and has the best Amiga Videos on YouTube" - that won't get you anything, but it will make me feel good... Also contact him at that email address to get your 1.0 card updated to 1.1 for a very reasonable price.

 This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast I did a special presentation for "The Amigos Amigathon", and they raised over $7000 for Children's Miracle Network! I am so glad I could be part of that.

Join me as I discuss setting up the Pi400, installing Amiberry and getting a full AmigaOS 3.2 install on this little marvel.
