Amiga 600 Adventures: The Commodore A600 and Furia Accelerator build and Review - Part 2

This week on 10 Minute Amiga Retro Cast we are exploring the Commodore Amiga 600 in more detail, and trying to figure out what went wrong with this Amiga 500 replacement. Join me as we open the old girl up and see what makes her tick, and then upgrade her to at least 1990 levels of power! We will be installing the Furia A600 accelerator as well as the EX01 1 MB Chip RAM card with added Real Time Clock and Clockport headers. Will the A600 become my favorite Amiga? Will the Furia work with standard Compact Flash cards? Will Doug stay sober until the end of the show? Find out by watching this weeks episode!

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. Be sure to take a look at AmigaLove's written and video review right here: https://www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1689 Want more info on Amiga Art Contest 2021?
