A lovely video and a nicely setup Amiga that I'm sure will make someone very happy. You're more than welcome to take the 8372A, like your good self I'm always glad to help anyone in the community. BTW at 11:35, that's 512k of SLOW memory. Technically I suppose you could call it FAST memory as its only visible to the CPU (until you do the mod when it becomes chip) but its called SLOW because its well... SLOW.
Great video. Thanks for the shout out Lee. I had like you say completely forgotten I sent that membrane over to you. Lol. Glad it's going to be going to a good cause in an awesome Amiga :-) ❤
I was honestly sitting here and enjoyed every single second of this video. I love the Amiga range of computers and seeing them kept alive and working is just a joy to behold. Outstanding stuff :)
fantastic video Lee.. gives me hope for when i eventually get round to putting a pistorm in my amiga500.. I look forward to watching RTS charity event :)
For the Pistorms, pins on the pistorm are of the wrong type unfortunately :-( There are longer, thinner pins that fit the spring socket. I made my first Pistrom with the wrong pins, and a 100 others with the thin ones ;-) I still find commercial products with the wrong pins :-(
@@MoreFunMakingIt It's clear that the rounded screwheads on the bottom of the posts were what was blocking the pin insertion - swapping those out for flatter-headed screws (you must have a biscuit tin full of computer screws, surely?) would have fixed the problem, and left a proper CPU socket on the board. Just my view - take it or leave it.
Sigh. Isn't this now just a mostly-emulated Amiga, inside a tatty A500+ plus case? Two Raspberry Pis inside a 7Mhz machine is ridiculous. imho, the beauty of these machines is using them how they were built, along with period-correct expansions. If you want a super fast Amiga with pixel-perfect graphics, just use that PI Model A that's running PiStorm directly with Amiberry, AND gain the option to easily use USB games controllers etc.

Cheers Glen! I always thought of fast memory as an ironic label 😆
love your channel CRG< recently discovered it :)
it's like i'm watching a horror movie looking at those kickstart roms
Maybe I should have a parental guidance warning 😆

Thanks again Mark!😁👍

Great to hear!

You and me both!
Wow! That was impressive and fun to watch. Nice!
Ooo exciting! Ultimate Amiga 500 up for grabs!
Oh yes!
Wow! that's a lot of pi in that Amiga. Very cool solutions.
Mmmmm pie 🥧
Great to see it working again Lee and I hope the next owner has some retro fun with it :) PS: It wasn't me with the bad soldering!
Aha! Sorry it took so long to finally get this worked on 😁
@@MoreFunMakingIt There was no hurry and I hadn't asked for it back, so don't worry. Also pleased it went to a charitable cause. Thank you :)
WooHoo... A new video from Lee!
😁 Make the most of it. Taking a few weeks off
Counting down the days Lee!@@MoreFunMakingIt
hmm Pie
*passes lee a napkin to wipe up his drool*
Uh oh...what happend to this legs...mechanical depilation?

Ah! Interesting. I'll check that out. Thank you.

@@JaruzelUK i wondered if that was the problem also
37.350? That's an A600 ROM.
What size are the standoffs used to screw the PiStorm and Pi together please?
It was donated fully assembled and it's now buttoned up inside the computer. Sorry
platyus.
I’m never this early 😂
Im usually never this late!

Wth happened to the ROM legs.. that looks horrible :)
Bad things!
