A500 more or less


Hi

I have been threatening for some time to check through the loose A500 
and A500+ 's I have in this room so I set too and hooked up 18 computers 
this afternoon. Amazingly just three fell over. One had a dodgy floppy 
drive but still powered up. The second had a yellow screen and the third 
had some real issues with corrupt screen and boot failures. The last one 
there had a floppy replaced plus two chips back in 2004.

So there you go out of 18 Amiga 500s just the three for me to work on. 
Kinda anticipated more. I did try this venture earlier this year but got 
half way through to find the power supply was broken.

I plugged in an Amiga 1010 on a chain and the 590 kicked in sounding 
like a chain saw. Amazing but it was just the power connector that had 
partially come adrift. All working now.

The A500 throws up so many differing boot screens and some of the 
computers have ROM switchers with actual switches on the back. Great 
machine.
