ScuzzBlog: Diaries January 2019 Entry 12th January 2019: Post 03: Amiga 500+ - M-TEC and A590 Amiga 500+ - M-TEC and A590 Having successfully installed the 3.1 on an A590 I was now set to carry on with my checking of various A590 sidecars and other such devices. First though I tried the M-TEC drive that had failed all previous attempts to get it working. This sidecar did work cus I had the thing mounted off an A500 back in the year dot and she was fine. But something happened to the drive and trying to reassemble the sidecar I lost a pin from the connector off the 2.5". Since then I have tried so often to get this working but no luck. With a suitable 3.5" IDE drive complete with Amiga OS I tried again but failed. I get the drive going round and even responds to the Amiga 500+. But that is where the thing just hangs. Dead sadly. I then pulled another A590 drive that I guess is my favourite OS. Whilst I know the cursor is supposed to look like a mouse it always reminds me of a sailing boat. The colour on 1.3 is magical. I just love orange and the blue. Such easy to use contrast. The drive fired up no issue and I played a while. And so the 3.1 computer has earned it's stripes and I have set her to one side to use testing sidecars. This Amiga was driven by success and although I was convinced she had some kind of problem, turned out to have none. Very odd that. Nice Amiga er 500+ in truth but don't tell her that. She thinks she is the superior 500. Our little secret. Amiga 500+ - M-TEC and A590 Amiga A590
