Repair Notes: A1200 distorted audio
Early A1200s can have badly distorted audio thanks to some interesting choices made in the design of the audio circuit. The good news is it’s an easy fix, and we tell you how

Building the perfect A2000: part 4
In this latest episode, we’re expanding the graphics capabilities by looking at what RTG does, and adding a card to our project A2000. We’ll look into the benefits, and also compatibility with games.
Repair Notes: A600 white screen
Repair notes are an occasional series of (fairly!) quick fixes to common issues. Here, we’ve got an A600 with a white screen, behaving badly in DiagROM.
The Ultimate Test Loopback Dongles
AmigaTestKit and DiagROM are amazing bits of kit for Amiga repairers. In this guide we show you how to take the loopback port testers they both use, and add voltage readouts to them.
Dual A500/600/1200 internal drives
Wedge case Amigas only get one internal drive…. right? Not so! Here’s a method to add a Gotek drive alongside your internal floppy and have them both active at the same time.
Modifying a Cisco PSU for Amiga
You can make an upgraded 50W power supply for your Amiga, from an old server unit and a bit of simple soldering.
Building the perfect A2000: part 3
In this episode of our A2000 project build, we look at keeping pace with both software, and hardware development from Commodore. How will we ensure we’re up to date? And more importantly, how much will it cost? Read on!
DiagROM through the CD32 Aux port
John Hertell’s DiagROM is one of the most useful tools for anyone involved in Amiga repair. But did you know it works on the CD32 too? Here we find the hidden serial port, and show you how to make a cable.
Exploring solid-state SCSI solutions
Here we look at three options for replacing a SCSI hard drive in an Amiga with something more modern. All three set out to do the same thing but in very different ways.
From plus to plusplus (part 2)
Following part 1, now it’s time to look at the build itself and give you a bit of an insight into what skills are needed; perhaps even help you decide whether this project is one you could look at building yourself.
