- čas přidán 29. 12. 2020
- In this video I demonstrate a brand new piece of hardware 100% designed for the Amiga 1000 (for a change!) called the Amiga Parceiro. It is a beautiful expansion board that provides 8MB fast SRAM with zero wait states, a Real Time Clock, and a 2GB microSD using the Fat file system. And it is all completely compatible with original Amiga OS 1.3 for a semi-autobooting experience. MORE INFO: www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.p...
If you would like to purchase an Amiga Parceiro, contact David Dunklee at Amiga.Parceiro@outlook.com and be sure to mention that AmigaLove sent you. This will put you in line for when he makes more AND you’ll receive a ~20% price discount bringing it to down to $195 US + shipping & handling.

Holy crap, that's awesome! I need it!
Go get in line! =) I love it.
In Europe, we have had these solutions for the A1000 for many years. But this looks sleeker than your previous solution! In 2004, I had sort of the same - Zorro sidecar expansion with SCSI and Zipdrive. Don't hesitate to upgrade to KS/WB3.1, it unlocks a world of software!
I have plenty of Amigas, so I reserve one of my A3000's to be the 3.1 machine. ;) Thanks for watching!
This thing is really impressive and tidy! I don’t think I’ve ever seen an A1000 in RL, let alone owned one, but wow!
Never seen one in real life? Aww.. well, some day. You'd love them. Such charming machines. Thanks for watching! And Happy New Year!
i applaud the size and shape of this device,i always wondered many sidecars were'nt more compact like this. the price tho..ouch. I already have a vampire in my 1000,but this is quite cool.
I believe i snagged the last one for this year! Im very excited to give my Amiga 1000 an upgrade with one of these!
Congrats - you’re going to LOVE it!
@@AmigaLove i just received mines today! :D
@@AwesomeBrony woooooooooo!!! 😎
Its the best time of month Amiga Love time!
Cheers! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching. Happy New Year!
Excellent review.. what a great device! Great high quality video AmigaLove!
Thanks, Mike! This really was a labor of love. Designer is a great guy, device is awesome. It lets the Amiga 1000 maintain its identity, which is key for me. It is easy for me to be very enthusiastic about the entire project.
Excellent review! I appreciate your efforts to improve A1000 performance while maintaining its "personality". Great to hear there are new add-ons to this somewhat forgotten Amiga model. Happy New Year!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching! I love how this device gives me all of the features my 30 year old hardware can - but in a streamlined, modern package without losing its identity. Happy New Year to you as well!!
What a great device for the venerable A1000. Great to see some new hardware there. I must check out those fat drivers for my newly setup A500.
Wonderful video Amigalove
Thank you so much, Stuart. Happy New Year!
All was good too see you on Bill’s stream. Happy New Year to you too.
love my Parceiro 👍
Really cool device, and great video as always mate!
Thanks so much, Domedags! Miss hanging out with you on Twitch lately. Hope all's well, and Happy New Year!
Thanks so much, Domedags! Miss hanging out with you on Twitch lately. Hope all's well, and Happy New Year!
Clever device indeed! I hope he gets the autoboot working. Interesting that it uses FAT 32 instead of FFS
I think he went the FAT32 route specifically so his PC could understand the microSD for very easy file swapping between the two environments. To be honest I didn't even know that driver existed on Aminet before this device showed up. Pretty cool!
@@AmigaLove most of its competitive products use the same fat 95 operating system, but they use it for the secondary card. Like the ACA 500 plus and the Eric's labs classic 520 both use fat 32 on the secondary card. It's also commonly used on the Amiga 1200 and 600 for the PCMCA slot CF card adapters
excellent vid amiga love. really like that parceiro.
Thanks, kneehigh. It's a fantastic modern recreation of what I've been running for a while now. It's a real reach back to the past, but with modern tools at hand. It's perfect for old folkies like me that don't want their machines taken over. =)
Excellent video, Eric! It would have been cool for the "Flux Capacitor" silk screen to actually label one of the capacitors (and maybe make it a different color for distinction), but I bet some electronics people would gripe about it just being a real capacitor. :)
Hah!! So true. Well, you never know what David Dunklee might do in the future. He has a gazillion cool ideas!
nice piece of hardware ,. I'm just missing an accelerator card, unfortunately more memory alone doesn't help me, so I'll stick with my ACA500 + on the Amiga1000. But thanks for showing.
Hi! Does ACA500+ work with the A1000? I have both but according to icomp.de the card doesn't work with the A1000. I'm looking forward to getting a Parceiro though, but it would be nice to know if the ACA500+ indeed can be also used!
@@LaepsynPaepsyn I have A1000 working perfect with aca500+ . So there's no problem in this combination as long as you do place the aca500plus in the right way to the a1000.
I'm cringing at “serial number number”. That aside, this looks amazing, and I wish I could afford an Amiga.
Only thing missing is a passthrough bus. I have a 1060 sidecar but would have to sacrifice it for the Parceiro.
I haven't tried it yet myself, but I think this could be the end of a chain. So let's say you have a Starboard, or other expansion ram board. I don't see why this couldn't be added to the side of one of those. But yeah - a 1060 side car begs to be at the end of a chain, too. Hm.. Thanks for watching!
I'm a fan alright but not an owner :) Nice device btw..
First! Funny I just read about this on Particles. :) Love it! Now if only someone could work on the A1K Chip RAM problem. I know that is in the same category as the Rejuvenator.
Hah! You probably read my post about it, yeah. The Rejuvenator does take care of the chip ram problem entirely. The hard part is 1) sourcing the Rejuvenator board (that's been taken care of, btw) and 2) sourcing an A3K Agnus if you want 2MB of chip. Getting an Agnus for 1MB chip is a lot easier. I've been on a team for nearly 3 years reverse engineering the Rejuvenator. The entire thing has been done - EXCEPT - for 4 pal chips that are read protected. If we could ever unlock those algorithms, more Rejuvenators could be built, which we have explicit permission to do.
Awesome work done on that. So close you can taste it.
@@AmigaLove I have been reading about a place that used to do delidding and failure discovery for IC's. They would jumper the fuses on the PAL's for people so they can be read back, I looked but they no longer seem to be in operation.
I can’t wait for the rejuvenator! I hope you can figure it out.
@@Abrothers100 Man, I do, too!
I've been hoping to see something on the A1000 once I found your channel. I have one in my garage and would love to upgrade it. Would you, please, give a list of products to accomplish this? Thanx!
Right off the bat, if you have a stock A1000, this new device would allow you to do a lot with that machine. It would give you the hard drive storage and RAM you could have only dreamed of in 1986 or whenever you got your Amiga. And, you'll be able to reduce your boot-up process from 2 floppy disks down to 1.
Now, should you feel ambitious, you could also get a Kickstart ROM board for the inside of the machine to further speed up the bootup process and have the Kickstart chip all the other Amgias got starting with the 500 and on. I can help you figure out how to get one of those if you're wanting to go that route as well.
More chip RAM is the holy grail for the A1K, and part of the Rejuvenator project I've been a part of for the past 3 years. We're very close, but hitting that final half-mile has been the hardest part of the entire marathon.
This looks cool and worth the small fee to have one! Hands down the best game charger add on to the 1000 that I have found is the aca500+.
@@Abrothers100 Unfortunately the ACA500 and Rejuvenator don't play nice together. Parceiro works just fine. The ACA, for the money, is fan-freaking-tastic. It takes over the bus from the CPU, so for purists that Individual Computers starfield can clench one's jaw. But it's kick ass, no doubt about it. For a "pure" experience that replicates the expansions from BITD, but just all brand new and better, Parceiro is the way to go. If you want an OS newer than 1.3, you probably should stick to an ACA.
Does the A1000 still make the bootup chimes after a Parceiro is installed?
It does if you don't have a KS ROM installed, yes.
I have a external device with pass through, so can I put this card as second device (daisy chain)
Probably? It shouldn't hurt anything to try. But I would contact Mr. Dunklee with your questions and he might be able to give you better advice.
This system permit to use whdload with A1000 or remain the normal limit ?
I'm running 1.3 on my A1K so I just use JST when I occasionally need to. But that hasn't really been my focus. I've not tried it with 2.0.
Will this work with a vampire attached?
I've no idea. Maybe? Although, would you really need it at that point? The Vampire takes over the entire machine and gives you everything this expansion ever could, and way more. I think the only thing you'd gain is the RTC. The Parceiro is more the 2020 spiritual successor of the original expansions from the mid-80s. It's more a modern reinterpretation of the old ways in a brand new form factor. It lets your Amiga 1000 still act like it did back in 1986, just in a much smaller, more stable package (with a ton more RAM/HDD storage compared to the typical 1MB RAM, 20MB HDD options from back in the day).
@@AmigaLove yes I agree. I am really keen for a modern real time clock solution for the a1000. I can't believe there is no rtc readily available for it. I love the idea of the a-time. Just impossible to find.
David says it should work with any expansion that doesn't put its RAM into the 8mb space or take over the system bus (like a vampire would). So, looks like no - they aren’t compatible, Glen.
Glen Vanpire permit to use whdload with A1000?
I dont understand why would I want to butcher a A1000 with a Vampire, what is the point?
You just upgraded the 1000 to the 1990s.
Hah! Pretty much. Although maybe the SD Micro would have been a CF card back then. But, yeah.
am I the only OCD person in here seeing the bended case on the left side? you should have gotten it straight up like normal
Sssh, I noticed too.
Email sent!
I am going to get one. Awesome. Two things, one do you have a spare bare rejuvinator pcb. Mine is bad with battery damage, two. Have you seen the buffee accelerator project? Looks cool.
amitopia.com/new-buffee-amiga-accelerator-is-aiming-at-reaching-1000-mips/
I might be able to help you source a brand new Rejuvenator PCB. Are the chips/connectors on your bad board OK? Will you be able to migrate things over to the new board? If so, I can look into things. You should probably email me at eric at amigalove dot com to discuss further. And YES! I saw that announcement this morning. Amazing
