ScuzzBlog: Diaries February 2026 Entry 19th February 2026: Post 1: Amiga 500 - Machine No 33 And we are back. Amiga 500 - Machine No 33 And we are back. Soon as the rain stopped last night I was back to the Workshop and setting up Amiga 500 No 33. I still have to move two stacks of mags that have been accumulating over the last few months, but that will wait till tomorrow. For now I can joy in the sight of another Amiga back in service. I dragged down my Baybench set of home made disks that I made and they booted in no problem. In truth the machine ran like a dream. There wasn't even the slightest problem and I left her running late into the night. Anyhoo.. as I am taken to say. I'm a happy bunny. Always nice to fill any vacant space I have with an active Amiga. Always a joy. I went straight onto the Bay last night and got an A500 game plus a test disk just to check over the hardware. I also sorted out a disk cleaning kit I had at the back of a drawer. I shall move that stack of mags and put the disks boxes that were there back. I guess then I may just create a fresh set of homemade Workbench disks. I tracked down the Amiga Computing that I was using in the day and I have scanned that for tomorrow. For now though we are back in business and I will wait for my game to arrive. Happy days. PS The screen isn't actually bright turquoise it's just how the camera reacts in portrait mode with a tungsten light overhead. Sorry about that. I was too lazy to drag out my white light. I set to portrait to avoid the scan lines on the monitor which does blur some sections of the screen at times. Going now. Amiga 500 - Machine No 33 And we are back. Not exactly gamepad quality, but the gamepad is on my A600 at the moment.
