Hi I'm just wondering if you are aware of the fact that you should never plug anything into your Amiga while it's on. This includes Monitors, Joystick, Mice, Printer or Serial cables and external floppy disk drives.
I understand all but the joystick/mouse ports.. I dont understand what can go wrong there? Some games are actually made so that you MUST switch your mouse with a joystick if you happen to want to play in 2 player mode. I have done this since late 80s on mine and it still works.. What you say is true when it comes to the other cables though.
This is a sure way to blow out the CIA chips in any Amiga model. If you haven't, you one of the luckiest people around!
