Since the June Amiga Expo, I have been developing some new Amiga related products. I challenged myself to launch four of these throughout September. I managed to achieve this, so I figured I should ta...
Product launch 4 of 4 for September, a new revision of the Low Profile RGBtoHDMI. This is functionally the same as before, allowing it to fit under an accelerator easily, but fixes a few things based on feedback and PCB yield issues. www.retrosupplies.co.uk/low-profile-...
This board gives a pixel-perfect HDMI output from your Amiga 500 using a Raspberry Pi Zero (not included). It is a brand new version of the CPLD RGBtoHDMI for Amiga 500/500+. The Raspberry Pi Zero / Z...
Time to show product 3 of 4 that I'm launching this month. This one you may have seen earlier, it is called DoohicKEY and it replaces the Mitsumi keyboard controller in an Amiga 500. Available in 3 different PCB colours and 2 different power LED colours. www.retrosupplies.co.uk/doohickey-ke...
Pre-orders should ship before the end of September.DoohicKEY is a replacement for the Amiga 500 Mitsumi keyboard controller board, made from 100% new parts. It does everything original controller does...
The second of four products I intend to launch this month, Zinc diagnostics tool. Zinc is a 30pin SIMM diagnostics similar to my previous 72pin SIMM Hafnium board. It pops into your SIMM socket to test all RAM traces simultaneously for battery damage. www.retrosupplies.co.uk/zinc-30pin-s...
Zinc is a diagnostics board that pops into a 30pin SIMM socket of a motherboard to diagnose which traces may have been eaten by battery damage. It was designed to Amiga RAM boards and vintage PC compu...
Fantastic! Custom chips for old machines aren't going to last forever. Modern reimplementations are the only way forward for preservation.
The first of four products I hope to launch this month is now available. ZonKEY is a replacement for the 6570 in #Amiga 500 keyboards. It has a few enhancements, including an advanced anti-ghosting algorithm. You can purchase it using the link below. www.retrosupplies.co.uk/zonkey-6570-...
ZonKEY is a replacement for the Commodore / MOS 6570 microcontroller used in Amiga 500 keyboards. It does everything the 6570 does but has the added advantage of:Much faster matrix read rateDeeper buf...
Many of the chips in our vintage and retro computers are well out of stock, either being off-the-shelf components that are no longer manufactured (like the Z80) or custom chips that had a limited run. Thankfully advances have meant that hobbyists can make replacements with modern electrickery.

This one is even better than FPGA, replacing an 8bit mask ROM microcontroller with a different programmable 8bit microcontroller 🙂

Karl at Retro32 likes to challenge me, and this time he had an interesting one. When he turned on an Amiga 600 motherboard he acquired, smoke and a small flame came out of the motherboard! The motherb...
