Chipmusic.org should have different logo art at the top on every refresh, like at Pouet.

Will a C64 mouse (1351) or an Atari ST mouse work with Amigas?
I'm guessing the answer is no, but I thought I might as well ask.

1) Does the Amiga have NTSC vs PAL issues in terms of demo-watching, like the C64 does?
2) If I got a European Amiga, would it work with an American power supply? An American TV?

Is this site going to have an image upload section? 8bc's got so abused and spammed, but I think it would work here.

Props to the IIGS. First computer I ever used. Will get one again someday.

mmh.. i cannot see any socket under the keyboard.. sad
Those 'squares' are soldered..

Hmm... that's odd! My STE has sockets there. In fact I recently pulled the CPU out of mine in order to test an accelerator.
There's another socketed chip on the underside of the keyboard itself by the way, but I doubt that's the problem.
Anyway, I hope you get your STE working again! Can't really help much further than I have. sad
And of course, like Low-Gain said, watch out for static electricity so you don't fry your chips by accident.

There are 2 square chips in sockets under the keyboard which seem to be the usual culprits on my STE. One is the CPU, and I think the other is the blitter. I can never be bothered to remove the metal shielding completely (actually I can't figure out how XD) so I just remove the keyboard, unscrew the front half of the shielding, lift it up a little, and stick a finger or screwdriver in there to push down the 2 square chips.

Have you turned your Atari upside down recently (maybe to unscrew the case to put in a TOS upgrade), or carried it somewhere in a backpack or suitcase? Atari computers have a problem where sometimes chips come loose from their sockets. Sometimes it can be fixed by lifting up the Atari a couple inches and dropping it on the table, although that doesn't usually work for me. After taking my STE somewhere in a suitcase on a plane, I usually have to open the computer and push down on all the socketed chips (TOS, CPU, etc) to make sure they are tight in their sockets. After you have pushed in the chips, be gentle when you turn the Atari upside down again to screw the case back on! This has fixed my STE several times when I was sure it was "dead". smile

Yes. Just make sure it's all wired up correctly. I similarly made an LSDJ keyboard adapter by cutting the cable off a DMG-07 and wiring it to a PS2 socket.

Now this is a bit anus, but since the Amiga was made by Commodore, it doesn't really make sense to say "Amiga & Commodore".

This has been bugging me too.
