Title: A500 update...
Post by: Vlabguy1 on January 01, 2016, 05:03:22 PM
I recently dug out an A500 .. and was surprised to find what lurked inside :).  So I did a very good cleaning of the entire machine...Thought I would post a few images..
Notice the Nerf?  I needed a spacer so I sliced up a Nerf dart, seems to work
pretty darn well, imo :-)..

I plan on a YouTube vid when I finally power her up..

She has a Mega Midget Racer 030.. A friend gave it to me as he wasn't using anymore and I just got around to checking it out and was super surprised at what was inside :).

I have one just like yours with the Mega Midget Racer 030 and I have been having a hell of a time making it the 68000 raiser pins stick on the A500 MoBo. I guess I haven't tried the nerf darts but I thought about it.

Cool.  Well so far so good, the Nerf is working just fine!

Well done... I guess one day I may use mine.



Just love 500s ... you never know what you are going to find.
