Hi,

I'm trying to fix up an old Amiga 500 I was given recently. I'd wanted one since I was a kid but wasn't able to buy one at the time so I'm really hoping I can bring this one back to life and also, generally learn more about Amiga. So, really pleased to be here and look forward to chatting with you! :)

Welcome.

500's are fairly easy to get working unless they're completely rotted up. As long as the custom chips are ok at least.
