Finally got the Amiga in the mail... Plaz's predictions = good. :)
« on: September 12, 2008, 06:52:58 AM »
Hopefully I no longer need an introduction here.. :D  But Plaz was able to pick out just about everything in the A2500 I was waiting for my cousin to send me.  He's was ALMOST 100%.  Here's the link:

First off, I was impressed with the condition of the battery.  I tried to move it a bit, but it's rock solid.. suggestions?

Here's the kickstart... I'm thinking 2.4? Is there a need to upgrade to 3.1?

The machine arrived pretty clean..  revision 6.2 mobo:

PROOF... that there IS a video toaster here!  :)

This memory card was in it.. by counting chips I figure it's a six meg / max eight card?
8UP Card

Plaz nailed this one.. a Sunrize audio card! WTF it does I have no clue!

A 68030, I'm guessing @ 25Mhz..

This is a 40 Meg hard card... it came with a 240meg in the bay, but I like the red PCB.. :)

And the ULTIMATE PERIPHERAL:

I can't wait to get this thing going...  DOH! It'll be a while longer--I need a flicker fixer or pay my cousin to ship me the 1084S...  Hmm...   :D

Thanks for the comments, guys.  

Mike, how do you do a volt and amp check?  Plus, you say you can "softkick" to 1.3.. How do you do that?  I assumed I needed a kickstart switcher.  

Thanks Darksun, but I still don't know what to do with the damn audio card.  Would it only be used with the toaster?

Zee, Yeah, the 500xj is an incredible joystick.  I knew if I got another Amiga, I'd have to get one.  It cost me a pretty penny, too--but it's worth it.  

I've decided to have my cousin ship me the 1084S to go with this thing--I'm already tired of trying to get a flicker fixer that will work with an LCD, and get it sometime this year.  

Anyway, this is going to be fun--I'd like to see if I can develop something for it as a free release.
