Shades, here's a freshly snapped photo of my 2500, dusted off and booted up for the first time in years.

have you removed or replaced the battery yet??

Thanks, everyone, for the welcome. Dan, the 2500 came from WALA and not WPMI. It was from back in the days when WALA was the NBC affiliate in Mobile, so it is weird seeing the old Peacock logo on the weather graphics that are on the hard drive.

Tomas, I will get that acid battery timebomb out of there right away. I know what damage those things can do, as I have the bones of a dead A3000 that somebody gave me after a leaking battery destroyed the motherboard.

There's an Intel native version of EUAE for Macbook on Think Commodore.com.

Yeah, I tried it. And the new OpenGL version is a lot more responsive than the previous version. But it's just not the same as the real thing.

Tomas, you may have saved my computer. Your suggestion prompted me to check on my battery sooner rather than later. So I opened it up tonight and found the battery leaking acid. I removed the battery (nothing to replace it with yet) and cleaned up the motherboard. One A2500 saved!

Then I brought my two A2000 boxes out of the closet (one working last I checked, the other a parts machine with a bad power supply and no drives). Guess what? Both batteries leaking, so I removed them and cleaned up the boards in case I ever need them as parts.

Didn't mean to hijack this thread, but I just wanted to say thanks for the suggestion.
