Just stopped by to tell you I love your youtube channels!! The quality of your videos, format of your videos, diag, are awesome! Most youtubers videos bother the crap out of me, yours are amazing, love your personality which is not annoying, the way you explain things, the way you walk through the diag process… Your videos are very therapeutic, also very educational. Really love your Amiga videos so more the merrier! Please keep up the good work.. Thank you Adrian!

The laptop with Conner hdd. I had a CP3044, that didnt work ok w/ Amiga 600. Maybe CP3044 "lies" it's default "default translation", mixing 4 heads with 2. On PC maybe fixed in bios. Adapted an amiga ide driver: if HDD is cp3044 -> adjust heads #. https://www.mklboards.fi/ide/a500ide.html Also: IDE IORDY pin 27 low? Don't remember checking it, but maybe been the reason for drive was extremely slow on A600. Maybe also half the size for the heads param. issue.

Regarding the ZANSI.SYS/NANSI/QuickCRT tests in "Hacking an IBM CGA card for fun and speed!", have you heard of FlickerFree by Steve Gibson of GRC.com? He wrote it in 1986 and I was using it as a 12 year old on my CGA XT PC with fantastic results. If it works as impressively for you on your snowy CGA card, maybe you can make a follow-up video showing the world. https://www.pcjs.org/software/pcx86/util/other/flickerfree/1.0/ https://winworldpc.com/product/flickerfree/10

Your video about the PLEXUS P/20 showed up last night as "recommended for you". I don't know how much Google/Youtube knows about me or whether it was coincidence but this was one recommendation I was glad to see. As a former Plexus employee I still remember much about those computers and I did send you a longer message via your contact form. If there is anything I can do to help you with this restoration please let me know.

Hey Adrian, love your channel. Hope you get the Plexus machine working. Your videos are always fun and relaxing to watch, with good vibes all the time. Hope everyone reading this comment has a great day, and, if you celebrate it, a happy Pride month! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Much love to all from South Carolina.

Hi Adrian, thanks for your work and your dedication. I learned so much. Because of your videos I decided to bring my Commodore PC10-III back to life. Needles to say that the battery has leaked, but the damage is small. Nevertheless, the PC doesn’t show any signs of life (exempt for the power supply). I took the opportunity to buy some basic electronic stuff, because as an architect my daily tools are quite different … Now, equipped with your awesome videos I will see how far I get.

Hi Adrian. I love your channel. You are such a pleasant person to watch. And I just love watching you tinker with old stuff. I live vicariously through people like you because I live in an apartment and can only have a very limited collection of retro stuff. And I never learned to do electronics repairs, but i love watching people do them.

Hey Adrian, I love watching your videos, and I feel like I learn a lot from each episode. I love how you get excited when you finally solve the mystery as to why something isn't working. I have some electronics that I wish to repair, and I'm wondering if you can direct me to a forum that could help me on my journey. Thanks for everything you do. -Cali

Hi Adrian! I learned about your work and channel whilst looking for Macintosh Plus failures and their repairs. I am thoroughly enjoying your banter and knowledge, your videos are very fun and entertaining! Thank you!

I really have enjoyed your channels. The amount of time you spend on each project is amazing and your approach to your projects and the humor and basically the general disposition really make it a fun experience.

Hi Adrian, Just recently found you on YouTube and have spent the past few weeks catching up with your back catalogue. What an amazing thing to be doing, saving parts of our history for the future. It’s amazing how far the tech has come on and the even more rapid progress in recent years. Keep up the good work.

Hi Adrian! Been a watcher of your channel for awhile. Found you a few years ago while going through hard times, you've always been my go-to guy for relaxing before bed. I had started working on my own project – after I found you – to revive AOL of the 90's. I began black boxing AOL3.0 from 95 and have since created a server compatible with the clients of that time. (P3OL – FKA Re-AOL) You'll have your own keyword area as you inspired me to enjoy tinkering! Thanks.
