Hello from New/Old Amiga User!

Hi,

I've been lurking here for awhile but have never formally intoduced myself... Hi, I'm Tim.

I haven't touched my Amiga 500 since the early 1990's but have jumped back in the ring last summer when I picked up a 4000d at a garage sale... and then the addiction started again.:lol:

Since then I've managed to pick up another 4000d, 1200hd, 2000 and a bunch of 500's... alot of the stuff was going to be pitched.

I've finally put my dream 4000d together (took me 6 months).  Its not a lot by the standards of a bunch of machines on here but I'm proud that I finally have a machine that I could only dream of back in the day.  It has a WarpEngine040 w/128m, Picasso IV, XSurf, CF Card, IDE-SCSI adapter w/ DVDrw, 18g SCSI HD, 19" crt,Custom cables, etc.  Oh, and cleaned it meticulously!  I'd like to post pictures of it on here.

Thanks again for all of the help and info guys! :-D

Yeah, the first thing I did after discovering that the battery had not yet leaked was to get that thing off-of-there and I installed a nice coin-cell batteryholder.  It worked out nicely ...... had to put a diode on it so it won't charge but it still should years and years before I have to replace it.

That I discovered today..... :-(

The 2000 was just part of a bulk deal (it was the A1200 that I was after).  I pulled it apart and besides missing the power supply the mb under the battery don't look too good.  Hopefully she still boots up but I gotta get a replacement ps or convert a pc one which I hear is not too difficult but not exactly easy either.

Thanks again for the feedback, it is nice to know that someone is listening. Nobody outside in the 'real' world gives a 'bleep' about the Amiga anymore. :-P
