hello everyone.
i have fairly recently got myself not one but 2 A500's.
i had one as a teen back in the late 80's and have wanted to get another to recreate the setup i had back then.
an opportunity arose not to long ago to acquire 2 A500's.
both need some attention in the form of a solid clean and maybe some retro brighting.
but they do both boot to the WB 1.3 screens , and one came with a period correct 512kb ram upgrade card, which i have already removed the nicad before it can leak everywhere.
only one has a power supply. (i'm currently working to build a replacement)
one of them is a rev 5 MB the other is a rev 6 MB.
my hopes are at this stage to leave one machine fairly stock, and mod the other one with the now available accelerators and more ram gotek etc etc.
i will post pics and progress updates as and when i do things with these machines.
that might be a little while though, as im currently not sure if im moving in a few months or not,
and i don't want to get stuck into a project ad then have to move house.
i have no doubt that due to the long time its been since i actively used an Amiga, i will have loads of questions.
regards,
Jason.
