Sid chips fail for no apparent reason, so even if it doesn't work you wont know if it was because of the foam :p

yup, 8meg, and the 512k trapdoor is now set up as chip ram :)
so, 1 meg chip, 8 meg fast.

I have no idea what your talking about, so here is a doggy with a small pancake on his head.

MorphOS is a MAC done a little better

Picked up this lot for the grand total of $Au50!

Two A500 consoles, both revision 6 motherboards, one faulty. :(
A590, with 40meg HDD and 1meg fast ram!
A501 ram in the trapdoor
External floppy
1084s monitor
Two tank mice
Four joysticks
Plus a fair bit of original software! and some less than original :p



Took out the images don't think we really need  them again, nice unit, sort of looks like my bench when I get to working. Still have a CD 32 to set up and 5 CD 32 motherboards to check  out. Just picked up a A4000 and A3000 that don't work, a friend was throwing them in the trash,  so I got them to see if I can make them work, and if I can't I will use them for spare parts  for my Amiga's.

AmmoJammo keep it  rolling, I  have taught several times of getting rid of my Amiga's  but then  there  would  be  no fun left in life,  couldn't come to Amiga.org, to have  fun with the moderators. Right Karlos (heck I really like him, if I  didn't I wouldn't troll him)
but then again he is good at  ignoring me.

Anyhow  keep on rocking, with that Amiga 500, looks good from here.

Know that feeling well, the "Oh Sh*t" moment. Seems to happen a lot with modding Amiga's :-(

They're cursed, but for some reason I keep coming back.

If I still had my 600 I'd send it to you but sold it awhile back :-(


Hi,

@Lurch,

Hey how did  you blow up an Amiga, I  only lost one, an A500, I was playing Sim Ant on it when it decided  to  smoke and  burn,  and I mean real flames. Remember in an incident  like that don't panic, pull the plug as quickly as  possible, and yell "Oh Sheet, Oh Sheet" as  loud as you can.

I bought a side car addon for my old Rev 6 500, can't remember what it was now. Connected it all up, powered on the 500, got the instant smell of burning and then smoke and quickly pulled the power and sat there for awhile not sure what to do LOL.

Tried powering it up again without the side car but no joy she was dead :-(

I forgot these pics.

I've decided 22-24 degree day, in direct sunlight is good!
