Title: buy it or diy
Post by: ElPolloDiabl on November 03, 2014, 03:41:40 PM

Do you prefer to buy Amiga expansions or diy or both?

It's hard for me to get new parts for an Amiga so I'm going to start making hardware mods myself. I've tracked down a compatible power supply also a ps2 to 9 pin mouse converter.

PS/2 to 9-pin Amiga, or PS/2 to 9-pin serial? Big difference, one will work, one might blow your stuff up.

It is hard for everyone to buy new parts for a 20+ year old computer, although several are available (Mediator, X-Surf 100, Lyra, MicroMys, Indivision AGA, Prisma Megamix, etc.).  But good luck on your DIY adventure!
