Last year I cleaned up one of the most unpleasant smelling machines I've ever been near, a very mouldy Amiga 500. Having used it for a year it's time to pimp my A500, and my tank mouse.
The aim of the Amiga A500 Upgrade is to get a good looking gaming machine, rather than somthing targeting the most power hungry Amiga applications, and games ported from other platforms.
If you're interested in the Terriblefire TF536 I'd have a look at the Terriblefire YT channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgHJudlHQiKGx-eSXwpLi8Q, you'll learn a fair bit about electronics and the inner workings of the Amiga, and also about one Scottish band in particular.
The pervious A500 video where you can discover the vital role dentists played in the birth of the amgia is here https://youtu.be/s9LBa-Wtvdk
In what is becoming a Halloween tradition for this channel it's time to look a vampire card (its as close to indulging themed content as I'm ever likely to get), this time we are looking at the Vampire v2 for the A1200.

My thanks to BigGun for the help with getting it flashed and working.
The power pc (PPC) A1200 in a tower case happened at an interesting time in the Amiga's history. Commodore had gone bankrupt, the Amiga's new owners seemed to have no love for the Amiga, and with no new Amiga on the horizon 3rd party hardware providers created their own future for the Amiga.
After waiting more than a year, the Retro Computer Festival happen and I went, and I mostly remember to film a video.
Sorry about the video quality and sometimes iffy audio, it was all shot on my phone.

Casio thought it had a found an untapped market for consoles, a whole new customer base who they assumed where not using the current crop of consoles. So Casio lunched the Loopy, and its may well be worse than you think it is.
Ever wondered how the 3d game for the BBC Mirco Elite managed to fit 8 whole galaxies of 256 planets, and numerous ship designed into on 32k of RAM. Well its time to take Acornsoft's Elite apart and see what makes it tick.

Intel is a very successful company, but sometimes it makes mistakes, and very few mistakes are this titanic, its time to talk about Itanium.
SGI Video
In the 90's one company dominated the world of 3d graphics SGI, used in industry, university science labs, and the film and tv industry. They where used to edit and create some of our favourite Films and TV shows (and some terrible ones too).
