AmigaOS4.1 FE Update 1 booting up to Workbench on AmigOne X1000 in July 2018

This is an update to a video I did back in May 2013 of my AmigaOne X1000 booting up to Workbench after yet another thread on amigaworld.net popped up though this time it was about boot times with RadeonHD cards installed.

My X1000 config: 4GB ram, Radeon HD7950-3GB, Catweasel MK4+




and of course the obligatory view of what the mancave (at least majority of) looks like at the time of this posting

Going back to 1080 monitor for my 1200

Don't get me wrong the Indivision AGA MK2cr for the A1200 from Individual Computers is an awesome scandoubler/ flicker fixer for our miggies especially as the original monitors are getting harder and harder to find and get parts for to repair BUT if you're lucky enough to have an original monitor ...ya know :-) I had a spare 1080 that was lying around for when the time comes that my original 1080 (that came with my Amiga 1000) needed replacement parts etc. and hadn't turned it on for a long time which is a no no to keep old electronics/ capacitors etc. happy so decided to put it back in use with my 1200.  The Indivision AGA MK2cr will go into my 1200T another day !




 
If I had a dime for every time I had to open the case to my 1200 :-)
alas one more time to take the Indi off Lisa!




why I LOVE REAL hardware ! In case you're wondering the add-ons are kipper2ks CD IDE extender, and solid E-Matrix 030@50 with FPU and 32MB fast ram
















1080 back up n running like it's 1986..flicker and scan lines in full glory!

ah it's beautiful to see demos the way they were made to be seen


the mancave (main west end anyhow) as it is the time of this post!
