Hi Niels
Thank you for pointing that out, obviously I wasn't concentrating when typing this out. Would have been a good trick if it was that long ago, so was about 18 or 19 when I got my first A500. I was thinking about my first computer the Commodore Vic20.
So my original Amiga 500 I didn't keep with me. Not intentionally but when I left home I didn't have the space to take it with me. Then I forgot about it and my parents passed away, my brother's all left home and it got lost to history or one of my brothers took it. Shame as I had quite a good setup, or at least I thought so. I did also have a A500 plus at one point and the one in the box A1000 or A1500? But alas I can't remember what I did with them, probably sold them. I bypassed the A600 and A1200, until this week when I got an original A1200, think the board revision is 1D4. It's all in pieces at the moment as I'm sending the board away to get recapped and it generally needs a good clean. The case was in very good condition with little to no discolouration, the keyboard wasn't too bad either. All in all it's a nice machine considering its age.
Right off to do some more time travelling.
