A blast from the past: I finally connected up the 500 that a friend let me have -- and my heart jumped a bit when I saw the "insert disk" screen for the first time since many, many years! The board even made it possible to feed the output to a modern screen.

Now I am looking forward to hearing the familiar floppy sound again :)
I already bought an USB floppy emulator though, as I have no actual disks lying around anymore :-/

I hope I can restore the original keyboard though!

Yesterday I ordered both a and an for my on ebay. This morning my order got canceled because the items were out of stock.
As I asked politely, whether they will be back in future, they told me, that the shop owner died yesterday 😮. Now I feel sorry for him and his beloves and cannot even think of complaining for not getting the items. Don't know what to say...

The project which came from some leading lights in the community is technically excellent, and open source. Digital or analog RGB to HDMI, with a raspberry pi and a small CPLD board.

It happens to be very low latency too. And it works for very many retro computers: acorn, amstrad, spectrum, ibmpc, dragon, tandy, c64, appleii, amiga, and on and on...

This is a neat solution for a non-destructive installation in (or rather on) the Amiga 500! The designers just emailed me about it and I like it a lot! prusaprinters.org/prints/63688

I practiced some metal working and am quite pleased with how it came out!
