Hi all,
I am new to the world of Amiga, and need some help:
1) I have a standard A500 (no expansions) that won't boot.
It shows the screen with the hand holding the blue disk, where you can read "Kickstart 1.3".
If I insert a disk, the A500 will make some very soft noise (not like when the A1200 is reading a disk, read on...) and nothing else.
Since you state "If I insert a disk", I have to ask - what disk? Is it really a good workbench 1.3 disk? the broblem may not be the drive, but the disk.....
