I don't care about screensavers anymore. FireBee is too precious to run it without using it. But if one is interested, then it would be interesting to adapt my old RageCalm utilitary. GFA source is provided in the archive , you just have to clean PCI Rage screen on/off, recompile it for v4e. The &q...

I feel like the time has passed, the technology has aged and what we need now is probably something entirely different - something like a MiniMig, an FPGA solution which extends the Atari hardware system beyond it's old limits, with high resolution 24bit colour, high quality sound... A current 'solu...

Brilliant! A new game for the Falcon is very awesome news!!!

I wonder if would be possible to adopt PiSCSI to ACSI port. Uwe writes about it here: https://www.hddriver.net/en/piscsi_icd.html I see there info about Mega STE ACSI to SCSI adapter. And I mean Pi connected directly to ACSI bus. Hmm, he talks about differences between ACSI and SCSI. Perhaps you co...

It is really awkward that there is no all around solution for networking on Falcon 060… But CosmoSex would be perfect if it will works under MagiC. There is an excellent solution I keep telling people about: PiSCSI. Nice one! :) I was not aware of this! Thanks! Maybe we should open a thread regardi...

You're determined to just break that thing aren't you

Maybe a bit late to the party, but what X11-Server are you using, the one from the sparemint archive? I just gave it a try, and could not get it to work. It does not crash, but does not seem to start any programs like the window-manager. I'm using freemint 1.19 (current snapshot) running in aranym....

It's nice to see that you're positive though - I just would not have guessed that otherwise. I'd rather this thread be supportive towards the H5, we're a small community and just putting something down because 'you'd rather have an STe' or 'you'd rather a Falcon' isn't productive. If you think I'm m...

Yeah but you guys @TheNameOfTheGame and @Cyprian are just thinking from a * very * niche viewpoint - the viewpoint of 1. purely a consumer (not taking into account the complex and detailed work required on the business end) and 2. Also the potential for customers to buy such a complex product. Cypri...

It's a very good project and kudos to Exxos for seeing the development through. I own a mainboard but just haven't had time to build it up. As with all things, time is in short supply. It would be nice to see an STE version though. I keep seeing people ask for an STE version though, why do you thin...

I have yet to see a machine with bad caps, I have repaired an Acorn Archimedes that had been ravaged by a dead battery but I presume caps aren’t as lethal? All the retro machines have tired and bad caps. The ST/STE/Falcon 030 are no exception to this rule. On these machines, the leak comes always f...

... as it seems to have a lot of protection and the guy clearly has a lot of knowledge on PSU's. Now that's something! Did he at least added a fuse on AC input already? No offense intended (it really pains me to say this because I am a fan of both you and Exxos) you really need to drop trying to pu...

frank.lukas says he would only change an electrolytic cap in the event of a fault - but does not specify what he regards a 'fault'. What is a fault? When the cap explodes? When it leaks? of course, if it were that easy we wouldn't have problems. But what when the capacitor loses it's capacity to sto...

You might have accidentally got a tiny bit of solder on one of the legs of the combel, sdma or videl... Check closely. You may need to get a diagnostic cartridge to see exactly the problem. Where is C29 close to?

... the problem in my opinion is that the good original Atari Computer has to be destroyed for this. Suska is better in my eyes and offers more options, albeit more expensive ... http://www.experiment-s.de/de/ You don't have to use a good/working one, you could use a faulty one. There are plenty of...

4 CPU sockets to plug in expansions? Crazy as the (historic) expansions will be larger than the socket space or they are not designed to co-work with other socket expansion boards. The space should better be used to already add sensefull things like TOS 2.06 socket, IDE, autoswitch overscan, PAK, p...

Hi all, For some strange reason there is little to no talk of the following project - the H5 Phoenix motherboard (Atari ST Remake Project) by Exxos. I feel that our community is quite small compared to others (like Amiga for example) And when we are lucky enough to have such projects being worked on...

Very cool! Looking forward to giving it a go.

Kola... please check out Exxos's old site, it is a great resource with lots of info about drives too: https://exxosforum.co.uk/atari/last/index.htm Cleaning sony drives, but still useful: https://exxosforum.co.uk/atari/last/floppyrepair/index.htm Also some photos of me cleaning an Epson drive (from ...

It's not the only terminal in mint. Have you tried Conholio? It's much more full-featured and supports full screen mode. http://xaaes.gokmase.com/index.php?limit=5&first=3 Thank you very much. I'll give it a try asap. Do you know a place where I can grab some informations and instructions in or...

Perhaps replace the capacitors near that broken trace. Maybe there was some small leakage. (It is strange for a trace to randomly break like that, there must be a cause)
