But most interesting is the Advanced Amiga Analyzer I found, which I must have come across right before storing everything and moving to Tallahassee. At first glance it does not appear to be of any real use, just voltage indicators for all of the major ports. So, what good is it, really? How good is it at diagnosing problems with an Amiga system?
The Advanced Amiga Analyzer (AA2) was released to the public just as C= was going out of business. It was designed to provide hardware and software diagnosis for all Amigas from the A1000 - A3000 (limited support for A4000 series due to AGA and last generation chips).
The AA2 was a complete diagnostic harware and software analyzer. The analyzer cables plug into all AMIGA ports simultaneously and through software the AA2 displays eight screens to work with. The AA2 shows status of data ports, memory checker, system configuration and auto tests. Software tells you what errors are found and the chips/components responsible.
A picture of the item is
here. I used to have one and it was worth the cost back then. IIRC it has issues running (software) properly under WB3.5 and 3.9 due to change in FFS and drive partition size. The port / hardware connections work just fine.

EDIT: The driver disk for AA2 can be found
here. PLEASE NOTE! - I do not know the legal status of these drivers being posted on the net. I do not advocate piracy so please be sure that the software in question is indeed "abandonware" before you download / use it. Software Piracy is against Amiga.org policy!
