Re: A5000 - diving in at the deep end!
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Re: A5000 - diving in at the deep end!
Ahh yes, I remember now. Do you think you'll have a go at fixing? Took me a fair while to do mine, and it still has damaged traces under an unpopulated socket. It's for the co processor IIRC and since they are vey expensive and not used that often, I opted to fit a socket over the top and ignore it. It's only soldered at the corners though, so a repair is still feasible.alexh wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2023 9:37 amSame as yours battery leak.

I want to because it is an Alpha.
I have left it a very long time and have probably now forgotten how to re-assemble the case / screws

How can you tell if it's an Alpha?

The serial number of the case + serial number of the board + 33MHz crystal instead of a 25MHz one

Re: A5000 - diving in at the deep end!
I'll have a look at mine next time I have it open, which may be soon as I am considering adding another 1GB drive image to my BlueSCSI and want to back up the card I have in there at the moment.

Re: A5000 - diving in at the deep end!
Wow. Riscos is a weird OS IMHO.
Trying to get anything working requires a degree in nuclear physics, and an encyclopaedic knowledge of the file system to find anything.
I might have got networking running, but wow I've yet to do anything but ping other machines, and even something as simple as FTP is fighting me.
Grrrrrrr.

You need a program called LANman98
https://www.riscosdev.com/lanman98/

If you're brave you could talk to Jake Hamby about his newer version which supports smb2
