I want to get started with making music on OctaMED but I can't find it available to download anywhere

Hi there! I'm hoping y'all might be able to help me here. My dad used to write articles for info magazine, usually about video or digital graphics in general. I'm hoping to track down a few issues that have his writing in them, so I can surprise him with a collection of his past work for Christmas.

I've already searched high and low on Ebay, but if you know of anywhere else I could purchase these (or if you're interested in selling your own copy!) that would be very helpful!

Specifically looking for these issues:

Issue 20

Issue 22

Issue 32

I imported an Amiga a1200 from the UK a few years back, and by some stroke of luck ended up scoring a Commodore Model 2002 Monitor that was manufactured in the late 1980s recently. A friend of a close friend found a few new old stock units in his audio production studio.

Monitor looks amazing, but it's incredibly hard to get the screen to stop scrolling vertically (up and down). Also, there is clearly some extra room on the screen since the Amiga is running in PAL. Less lines or whatever...

I'm an Amiga noob.

I read the manual for the A1200 and tried the method where you hold both mouse buttons down to boot into NTSC mode. That doesn't seem to do anything, although I do get the option to switch. There is still the extra screen space, and the vertical rolling is still hard to stop.

I can hook up any ntsc retro game consoles via composite and the Monitor looks amazing and no sync issues.

Just looking for guidance, and information if what I'm trying to do is even possible.

If I try for like 10 minutes I can usually get the sync working, but it's just a matter of time before it randomly goes out of sync again.

Does anyone still code for the Amiga? Are there any reddit communities for Amiga coding?

It must have been 1989 or 1990 when I got my first A500 and I splashed out on the monitor and the hard disk (80MB!). I eventually bought the Lattice C compiler and taught myself C, which I still use to this day. Anyway I found some of my old disks in the attic, and one of them was Amiga Lint by Gimpel Software, complete with original disk, warranty card and ring-bound manual :) Now I haven't seen any ADF images of Amiga Lint, not on TOSEC or anywhere else. So I'm wondering if it's worth anything to anyone. It still works - I checked.

Just stumbled across this and wanted to share.

I have a strange mouse issue om my A600 (Rev. 2D):

The cursor only goes right and down, same with the joystick. I already tried removing all extensions, different power supply, and even Goggle. The problem persists and I can't find anything on it.

Maybe someone here had the same problem?
