TrumpCard 500 for the Commodore Amiga - Reference Video

Another reference video for anyone wanting to compare their TrumpCard to one with all the pieces attached. This unit can be powered by the Amiga 500 itself or via an external power supply. Simply move the jumper to make the selection. Not a very entertaining video but maybe it will help someone out trying to compare a unit they have that appears to be missing something.

    Did you manage to fix the keyboard issue? If it's the same as the 800xl, the keys have a conductive silicone that bridges 2 points on the pcb per key. Could simply be dirt. Assuming the pcb is clean and not damaged, it could be the cable that connects the pcb to the main board. They are very delicate. Years ago i salvaged a completely wrecked 800xl, etched a new pcb for the keyboard that converted it into a PC keyboard. If it's your pcb, you could probably get a new one printed by PCB Way. I think they are quite simple layout. Wish it was as easy years ago because etching a PCB in acid is messy 😂

  • @JustWasted3HoursHere
    @JustWasted3HoursHere 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Oh man, me and my friend used to spend HOURS typing in those old programs only to discover that it didn't work! This was usually because one of us typed something wrong, but about 10% of the time it was Compute's fault and they would print a correct the following month. Some pretty great programs and games here and there over the years. Two that stand out were "Doodle", which was a fairly comprehensive art program with some impressive features for the day, though it only supported monochrome graphics (no multicolor mode); and "Turbo Tape" which was a utility to save your programs in a special format on tape so that it would load about 5 times faster than normal (close to disc drive speed in fact). It could load fast on any C64, even one that did not have Turbo Tape running on it, which I thought was very clever.

      As far as I know the REU is mainly used to achieve that fast scrolling of the level graphics, as the REU contains a DMA chip for fast data transfer which the stock C64 does not have, and which is used here as a kind of accelerator card.

    • @yaggieboat
      @yaggieboat 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It appears in this game that you can load the entire contents into the REU memory so you don't need to disk swap as well. I have to say, I wish there were more uses for the REU as it is pretty awesome. I never had one back in the day. Now with the C64 Maxi.... everyone that has one of these machines has an REU.
