Welcome to the Wacky World of Amiga. ;-)  When I was 17, the idea of owning a computer was sci-fi. I was using a mainframe Burroughs b5500 via timesharing over a mod33 teletype and acoustic modem. A National Science Foundation grant got this for our High School.
 Fun stuff indeed. ;-)

Haha. You'll really hate this: I got a lot more than just the Amiga for $20.


I have no idea what this is:




It's a MIDI interface for musical instruments. It does the electrical conversion from the RS232 serial port voltage interface to the MIDI current loop interface.
