For my amiga i started to build a floppy disk reader/writer using a arduino. I found a superb project by rob smith. It uses only a arduino pro and a FTDI USB to serial breakout board, to raw read and write disks. I wanted to convert my own created amiga disks to PC image to use in a emulator like vice.
Many years ago i started segmenting my network using vlans.
In 2022 i started to reconfigure my lab and using a lot more Mikrotik switches. So how many … is to many, because i always overdo stuff.
Well .. is 9 to many for home environments?
default vlan – did’t bother to configure
old DMZ .. to be migrated
DMZ – my servers live here
Wifi personal workstations – Mobiles and laptops .. macaddress limited
IOT – only arduino’s, raspberries and other hardware live here
Personal workstations – UTP connected workstations with less networking limitations
LAB – My lab environment, Ovirt virtualisation for fun and manage access to servers in dmz
Storage – my SFP enabled all-flash storage
Management – really tight restricted access to management interfaces (switches/routers/storage/ILO)
Hard to manage? All those vlan’s? .. Sure, but i learn a lot! (Not really .. when you got the basics down, more of the same. Hardest part? .. not cutting-off connections/switchports you are using!)
Got a working amiga again. \o/ woot Needed to replace Paula chip, cleaning and some TLC.
Modulator
Chip donor
Scart cable i’ve got is one without the resistors, so my monitor isn’t detecting the signal. Using a A520 modulator works. At least RF, don’t know why RCA/composite video isn’t working.
Even a memory expansion and second drive (5.24 inch) are working.
One of the first disks i tested
To do:
Fix something to get disk images from and to my pc.
(My old catweasel card only fits in a ISA slot which i don’t have any more)
I was wrong .. i’ve got a IV Catweasel .. PCI it is
Fix scart
Fix my Action Replay, which i soldered into a non working state apparently .. 🙂
Get a better mouse!

Disks to convert:
Personal text files from ages ago
My first seka demo
My oscillator drawing program
Other assembly source files
Got another one running today also:

Got this one now, superb. Will post about this

Modded this one, as part of my modular amiga system where i wanted to remake every part onto 10×15 euro prints. So i could swap things out for other boards.
Memory expansion
512k .. missing in action Go a new one in … ?
Boot selector
Swaps df0 and df1 DIY version was a wirewrap ic socket with a cross switch, now i have a Gotek buffered switching module with can be actvated with a keystroke. (Gotek post)
Keyboard mod
Hidden key (in the space of the stands, which triggered a extra key stroke)
Kickstart selector
A print you can insert in the ROM socket of your amiga. Had only 1.2 and 1.3. Now there are many .. like diagnostic roms. I made a altered 1.2 version .. which was unusable .. i f*cked it up
SID mod
Added a sid parallel on the 8020 CIA chip
Gotek driver emulator
I made a arduino version to read disks. (Other post) But this is a disk image drive emulator. See Gotek post
Boot sector warn
Piezo beeper which warned me when a boot sector was being written (virus alert)
Sound filter fix
Amiga audio filter enhancer, using capacitors and resistors
