Martin Bishop<p>The <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Commodore</span></a> 900, developed in West Germany, debuted at the Hanover Fair in 1985.

Christian Horn<p>Next holiday quest: I have an <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amiga</span></a> 1000, but no keyboard.<br>It expects firmware from a floppy - I used a serial connection to the Amiga 500 to write the floppy, now the A1000 boots, into Workbench, or into games.</p><p>But there is no keyboard.. </p><p>The connector turns out to be RJ10. Got one, and osci shows the expected signals. Wanted to have a Raspi pico communicate at the keyboard side, but the Pico just handles 3.3V, yet the Amiga does 5V. Seems like I need a level shifter to convert 3.3V/5V.</p>

neongod<p>I can confirm that it indeed works with the A590 and Kickstart 1.3. And it’s blazing fast! </p><p>I haven’t added a CF card yet and it booted from the A590 just fine. The Fast RAM in the A590 is disabled, the 8MB on the turbo card takes over.</p><p>I also have the 2MB BooBip trapdoor expansion, which with this setup adds 1MB Slow RAM (good for compatibility with old games), Chip RAM (so 1MB Chip RAM in total) and the battery backed clock.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amiga</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Amiga500" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amiga500</span></a>, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Commodore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Commodore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a></p>
