SX1 and SX32

i have a SX1 here, and its real nice extender for cd32

despite that it only have room for one ram socket and 4M mem

i have "ide" hmm good and cheap shit :)

if it was made a gvp it would have being scsi, hehe

SX32 is with a 68030 if i remember

yep this is the bad about amiga models none of them is equal, its like all the girl names in it :)

only exception is that there is 2 paula

that means that programmers that code to amiga os need to take care of what hardware programs are targed to, and then at the same time commodore says use the rom functions :/

would have being more a point if amiga was rtg/ahi from the start

why is that important ?, it would have helped more on created a more widespread amiga programs library that is more compatible with emulators and it would imho have made better optimizing then what lattice c did :)

blink (lattice c linker) could make programs overlay so a1000 with 256K mem could save ram in a way that it just load program parts that is needed, not the whole program into memory, that was dropped in slink (sas c linker)

atleast i could not find any docs on how to migrade this part from blink to slink

kickstart roms that is more or less not handling errors in filesystem with lost rdbs or even make validate, validate currupt disk partions kills more and more my left amigas here, loosing more and more software that is impossible to regain from stores is badly enough :(

what next for me i dont know
