To answer questions:
Ah, yes, Kickstart 1.3, 1MB (512k chip, 512k slow), NTSC/PAL switch, I should bump it up to 1MB chip ram, but...surprisingly, I haven't yet hit a memory ceiling. Maybe I haven't tried to do enough with it
I do have the empty sockets though...
I consider sometimes upgrading to an ECS Denise, but...eh. Would it really let me do that much more, I wonder...
And thanks for the compliments. All original stuff is quite nice to have
And yes, at one time or another, most of this was "broken". This is the very same A500 I showed in the trashcan...
