INTERVIEW WITH HAWKEYE / KEFRENS ------------------------------------ In last RAW you could see a picture of his Amiga. This time we have an interview with the man behind one of the most exciting Amiga in the scene! Can you tell us all the equipment you have made to your Amiga and give a brief explanation to each item? No problem. Actually you cant call this equipment, it is only indicators and switches but i'll write them down anyway. We take the LEDs first: 1 Diskdrive Saves (all drives) 1 Diskdrive Writeprotected (all drives) 1 Filter on/off 1 1 MB Chipmem on/off 1 Fastmem on/off 8 All databits (8 diodes) 1 Overwrite bootblock 1 RXD (Seriel recieves data) 1 TXD (Seriel transmit data) 3 Boot from Df0: - DF1: - Df2: 1 Berr (Shows Buserrors) 1 Pause on/off (This one shows doublebuserrors too) 1 Autofire on/off 4 Small VU-meters 3 Interrupt Levels 3 Function Code (68000) 3 Interrupt Request (Show the different IRQ) 1 Display to show the different Interrupt Level 2 Displays for the trackdisplay And the Switches: 1 MB chipmem on/off Fast on/off Filter on/off Trackdisplay on/off Left/right audiochannel off All drives writeprotected Autofire on/off Pause on/off Turn-switches: Interrupt level 1-7 (IPL) Boot from df0: - df1: - df2: Autofire Speed And at last the buttons: Interrupt level Reset Hard Reset Mouse Button 1 Mouse Button 2 Mouse Button 3 How many - Switches - Buttons - Lights do you have on the top of your computer? Well, i got 11 normal switches and 3 turn-switches - 6 buttons - 38 light- diodes and 3 "7-Segment" displays... How much money and time have you spendt developing your Amiga? Shit, i don't even wanna think about it, because sometimes something just didn't work as i wanted it too, and i thought about it for hours'n'days. Money.....If we DONT count the repairs i think about 600 Dkr. Do you work or educuate yourself as an electrician? At the moment i am under education as an "electronics mechanic". Have you ever destroyed something in the Amiga while installing/using some of your extra equipment? What havent been destrued ??? The first year i had my Amiga it was repaired 10 - 15 times and i didn't even open it !!! Well, If you should sell your Amiga with all your equipment, how much would you sold it for? Do you wanna buy it ??? No, i dont think i can sell it... I thought about selling it a LOTS of times. But who wants to buy a totally ugly computer ??? But if so, i would try to get 3000 Dkr for it. How cheap do you get your Hardware? E.G How much do you have to pay for a Fatter Agnus (in $)? I have some good friend which works in a computerstore and i can buy a Fatter Agnus for about 25 US$... Well, Do you think all this equipment is REALLY neccessary to work with your computer ? Ofcourse it is neccessary !!! How can you live without ex. a resetbutton ??? Only very non-lazy people can live without a resetbutton. >TURN PAGE< You have also sprayed your computer, Which Colours? I first thought about spraying my Amiga when i saw the A-500 owned by Buck/Static Bytes. This one was sprayed in gold only. But i decided to spray it in more "wild" colours. So i decided to spray the right side in strong red and the left in strong green. Which computer do you find Bestlooking and who owns it? The bestlooking computer i've seen was owned by Blizzart of Kefrens. It was a normal A-500 that were build into a PC tower-cabinet. But he dont have it anymore due to a lot of problems with it. Do you like the combination Chips & CocaCola together with Amiga ? I do, but my computer dont...There's no danger with chips because they dont harm the computer as long as stay outside...If they manage to get inside the computer you should get it out very quick. But coke is much worse. NEVER place a glass of coke on you A-500. I did it once but i was lucky. Only my keyboard got a bit dirty. Who are your favourite: Coder: The Spy/Crionics Musician: Jason/Silents - Dr. Bully/Majic 12 Grahician: Iridon/Shining - Cougar/Sanity DiscMag: Top Secret - R.A.W - Ice What do you think of Oscars in the scene ? Maybe it would be a good idea, but who should judge ? And what should the Oscar look like ? What are you doing in Kefrens without making nice equipment ? My mainactivity in Kefrens is swapping. Beside that i make some PR by making stickers, shirts etc. Wanna greet your best friends in scene? Ofcourse...All the COOL danes i meet at the Deadline - Crusaders party: Zeus, Blizzart/Kefrens - Gizmo, Easley, Mr. Mount, Dino, Tarzan/Cult - MeanIb, Thor, Jbl/Intens - Lunatic/Serious - Quackbuster, Estrup, Playboy/Static Bytes - Slammer, Xience, Trix/Anarchy - HitHansen/Crystal - Airwalk/Rednex And ofcourse to the rest of my danish and foreign friends... Last Word ? Yep...I wanna tell you a little about my future plans...Just after THE PARTY, my computer totally crashed and i first got it back in April. It was VERY dead and i couldn't figure out why...So a computer-mechanic i know fixed it for me. But it took him FOUR month to find the bugs...So now i trash the old cabinet and buy a Desktop Cabinet (pc-style). There be atleast 50-60 LEDS, and LOTS of buttons...I'll put a internal modem in it and a harddisk (ofcos) Beside that i got a lots of other ideas with it but maybe you'll get a picture of it. Anyway it should be finished at the Hurricane party.
