Skeletons in your closets!
« on: April 15, 2004, 05:31:31 AM »
Eversince my family and I moved just a year ago, I cant help but notice my closet starting to pile up with Amiga parts. Mostly old and broken A1200 40, 80, 120MB HDD, floppy drives and floppy drive parts which are unsuable any more, because I always tear the head off and place it to the defective drive, and keybaords of my A500 and A1200, a box full(used to be 3 boxes) of floppy diskettes from the old Commodore factory, a friend of mine took those and brought it to me for careful inspection(mostly burn-in progs for newly built A1200), my old printer(EPSON 800,still working but Ribbon all dried up) and 2 dead A1200 motherboards(NTSC and PAL). Used to have magazine of Amazing Amiga but I sold all of it to dealer from a province who keeps C=64 parts, for a replacement floppy drive(HD). The harddisk, disks and floppy drive parts were sold for scrap, but I don't know if I could get these old motherboards to work again?
Do you have any similar situation? What would you do??? :-?
BTW: The NTSC was burn to a crisp(I accidentally crossed the power supply +5 and +12 by mistake :-( ) and the PAL just blacked out, no display, no.. nothing!
Good day to all Amigans!! :-D

About the Disk? Sorry, most of them were water damaged. By the time I knew how to use ADF, they were long gone. I manage to save just 1 or 2, but most were track damage beyond repair. I won't even DARE to use it in my working drives(not by a long shot), so that's why I got those broken down floppy drives in the first place. :)  If I have time to scan it i'll upload it.
Good day to all Amigans  : )

I misspelled the following from my picture post. Xenex is Xeron and ASF is to ADF. Sorry about that.
