As some of you know, I've got a TON of Amiga's and parts. The problem is that I have yet to get a stable one built. (well, there was one that is now gone, but that's a long sad story...)
What makes these systems go randomly bad with age? No battery leakage on the ones I'm mainly trying.
Bill P. even knew how much trouble I have had and was nice enough to send me an awesome system that was no longer in use, but it is also suffering from old age since it was last used. The Warp Engine 040 has ram errors if memory is installed and it seems to heat up and get progressively worse to the point it won't even boot from floppy.
What are you guys doing to keep them usable?
Is there anyone in the San Antonio area that would be willing to take a look in exchange for a boatload of Amiga hardware? 4000T's, bunch of 4000D's, 060 cards, 040 cards, PCI backplanes, I've got a pretty serious load of systems and good (well, costly...) parts I'm willing to give up if you can solve the problem.
All I want is a stable system (no hardware failure reboots, no disk errors) that I can develop on, but I just can't seem to make it happen.
Wow I must be lucky! I have never had a system go radomly bad with age.
