Strange. Are you sure the graphics card is ok? At least you can get it working witg the other one.

Don't know if the graphics card is OK or not. It obviously works to an extent though. I'll try the card in a PC sometime and test it.

I think I might see about getting a more powerful AGP graphics card.

Are you pleased with it Steve?

Going back to the SSD question - what's the boot time like (from power on to full responsiveness) with the current set up?

I don't think I could go back to having my everyday pooter booting from a mechanical hard drive - I'd rather die. I suppose for a hobby computer it's OK.

I'm pleased with it. I think it will make a nice machine when I've finished making it work.

Unfortunately I haven't been able to use it properly yet due to various things not working.

It doesn't take too long to boot up. Maybe 45 seconds or so from the Uboot (aka bios) screen to desktop. I don't know whether an SSD would be much faster. Bearing in mind that this is now a 15 year old machine. I would certainly consider getting an SSD for my main modern computer next time I upgrade though.

Hi Stephen! How is it going with the AmigaOne?

I actually haven't used it for a couple of years. I wanted to swap cases with my old PC. I put my old PC in the A1's former case with the intention of putting the A1 in the old PC's big Lian Li case, but I never got round to it.

Perhaps that can be on the todo list for the rest of this year .

Should be an interesting project! Hope you will post some photos if you decide to go for it. Would be cool to see!
