Hello from Australia
« on: June 02, 2011, 04:43:48 PM »
Hey all have been lurking around for a while and thought it was time to say G'day :)
Had my first Amiga500 back in 86 was such a step up from 64 and 128 or the apples at school :python:
I still have about 3 500's and a 2000HD that works but that HD sing's a bit so if anyone could direct me to the relevant thread with info on keeping a 2000 going would be appreciated.
I'll post up some pics in the gallery of my old Amiga,s now that I have a place to set them up .
I,m known online as lunithy as that's the name I used in Power monger don't know why?.
Great site .....so much info I,m lost he he.

Wow a REAL Amiga owner... (getting kinda rare round here these days)... :)

Welcome to the madhouse... :D

Watch out though there are a lot of you're fellow Ozzies about and if they find out where you live you just may find yer miggies gone walkabouts next time you pop out for a six pack of Fosters (we'll after all it is a former penal colony)... :)

Anywhoo, welcome to Amigaland, pretty sure the A2000 nutters will be along soon to help you out with yours (and hopefully not through your back door while you're not looking)... :)

@ Lunithy

Can I borrow your time machine (if you still have it) some things I'd like to sort out in Amigaland and it would be quite handy for that... :)


(In case your wondering... The A500 wasn't released until 1987...) ;)

WELCOME!!!

To be able to help you with your "singing" problem, we need to know more about your setup.

- What kind of Hard Drives are you using?  SCSI/IDE/MFM/RLL?
- What kind of Hard Drive controller/s do you have in your system?
- What ROM/OS do you have running on it?

This information will give us a better idea on how to guide you and trust me there are lots of people here who LOVE to help!:)

Oh, There seems to be several Amiga users still active down in your part of the world so if your lucky, you may even find a neighbor who can help!

GOOD LUCK AND AGAIN, WELCOME!!!!

Welcome Lunithy

I'm a fellow Aussie Amiga user with a few machines, some A2000's
I also bought my A500 in Nov 1986 Rev3 mobo with KS1.2rom and the C= key instead of the left Amiga Key

The store I bought it from wanted Ca$h upfront and said the A500 was a special Order placed with Commodore Australia, I had to wait weeks for it to arrive. Sales guy said it was one of the first A500 systems pre-ordered into Australia.

Wiki might state '87 official A500 release but I'm sure I got mine in Nov'86, I'm still seeking the receipt I got with it.

Hiya Welcome another New south welsh men.... :D :rofl:

As J-Golden said can you please give us more info also does the sound go away or is the sound on as soon as you turn on your A2000 or does it happen at a certain time internal?

I think I know what sound you mean, I had a high pitched squeak on a drive.  The mechanical spin mechanism is wearing out.  Get another drive.
