Need an A500+ Backup Battery

[nac]

Got one! Vrrrrroooooooooom Vrrrroooom etc.

If I am right its a 28Mhz 020 with and FPU. I used to have another type which was only a 14Mhz 020 with no FPU.  Its a shame it doesnt really speed up the redraw in Workbench but things like Gloom fly alone (compared to bog standard A500).

It also has an Alfapower HD unit that plugs into the side expansion port and hanging off the back of that there is a a CD drive.   I fitted a switch on the back of the A500 ( next to the mouse port) that enables me to switch between OS's. This used to switch between CPU's on my old accelerator board as it also held the 68000 as well as the 68020 but I cant remember what that board was called.

I had beard that it was possible to connect a graphics card to the A500 but I never found one. So I gave it a Flicker Fixer and Scandoubler as the next best thing.

i bet your happier than a puppy yard dog, have you tried doom ? if i remember right back2roots.org had about a six level demo, very good!...

Me very happy, yes. It doesnt get a lot of use but if the Amiga had died I would be very upset. That machine gave me years of near problem free computing joy.  The PC is the all powerful master of todays computer world but I doubt any platform could have had such an effect as the Amiga or possibly the C64.

It has ADoom installed as it seemed to be the fastest version I tried.

A while back I purchased Amiga Forever and I set about copying the entire Amiga HD to the PC via a serial cable ( that was fun! ) and ADoom came over as part of that. So now I can play ADoom on the PC which if you think about it is kinda like a PC emulating an Amiga runnning a PC game.

these old amigas and the c64 left a lasting impression on me, I have around four c64 and eleven or twelve disk drives of different types and about 400 software titles, I'd like to find the c64s and disk drives/cables everything a good home. anyway they were trouble free no doubt about that.
