Reading through the posts I noticed my system had changed slightly since the last time I posted, so a little updating…   System configuration: Gigabyte Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L motherboard Intel Core2Duo @ 4.00 Ghz (e8600 @ 3.33 GHz) (2) 512 MB ram … Continue reading →

Nothing spectacular but for those of you with the common RTL-8111 motherboard NIC (10/100/1000) this is a very nice addition. Doing some linux investigating we’ve found a 2.4 kernel module for the RTL8111 series chips, common on motherboards (10/100/1000 nic). … Continue reading →

Honestly there isn’t a lot I have going on with Amithlon (or Amiga) at this time.  I’m getting more involved in Lightwave 2018 (and 2015.3) these days but I’m hoping to do some more hardware testing this year if funds … Continue reading →

Nothing really going on currently for me and Amithlon.  I’d like to continue testing new(er) hardware, perhaps an early i7 motherboard (ICH10R chipset) and maybe a PCIe Soundblaster type card…..   However that will all need to wait until I have … Continue reading →

Using the Catweasel and having mountlist for Amiga DD, Amiga HD, PC DD and PC HD, if all were mounted and you put in a floppy….you would have the disk icon for the mounted drive and also, if for example … Continue reading →
