Building a NEW Amiga 2000 in 2022 - Part 1 assembly, testing and first power up

Video Description

Why buy a big box Amiga when we can make one... If there's one thing that's been missing from my collection its a big box Amiga and since prices of those are heading skyward, me and a few other folk got together and did a group buy of the parts needed to build our own. This board is a reworking of the classic Amiga 2000 but redesigned to fit an EATX form factor for use in a modern case. The boards came partly assembled from JLCPCB (not sponsored) but its up to us to put the rest of it together. The chipset comes out of the battery damaged A500+ we looked at a few months ago. Thanks to screemo, pillock, liv2 and sparxuk for the help while assembling this. Special thanks to sparxuk for ordering everything and splitting it out into kits for each of us. 2000EATX GitHub - https://github.com/jasonsbeer/Amiga-2000-EATX CRG twitter - https://twitter.com/YT_CRG CRG patreon -https://www.patreon.com/user?u=13919007&fan_landing=true Music - Modspire by NaokiS (https://www.youtube.com/c/NaokiSaito) Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:52 First look at the board 02:55 Pass through caps 07:39 Thank you SparxUK 08:27 Fuses 08:50 Diodes, stupidly small diodes! 12:21 Fitting SMD IC's 14:02 Soldering montage 1 15:27 SRAM 17:01 What's next 18:16 -5v regulator 19:16 Capacitors 19:42 Oscillator 22:07 ATX power connector and modification 24:49 U103, U105 25:46 Soldering montage 2 26:32 Jumpers 27:31 Sockets 28:35 Some more stuff needed from the old board 30:16 Ports 31:20 U103, U105 31:55 Some quick tests 34:26 Video cable and fitting the chipset 36:19 Setting the AGNUS jumpers 37:16 First power on 37:46 Reset and clocks? 38:33 Clock Fix 40:30 Second power on 40:49 A few days later... 43:54 Amiga test kit 46:30 What about Zorro? 47:47 Conclusion, questions and credits. #Commodore #Amiga #A2000 #2000EATX
