OK to play with this one you
will need one of these
Generally doesn't have a switch
OK I reversed the sidecar in
As yesterday I hooked up a crude
modulator to check all was working
on the trusty black and white TV
Full of BASIC odds n sods
Seems to be running fine
From the looks of it quite an old computer
This has the ribbon keyboard
Note the lack of green
And the lack of A500
It's an A500Plus
Zooms in on the fat lady' pins
Bit icky may need to return here
Definitely not what I expected...
Well in truth, that's a lie given
that I was using this machine kinda
none stop for a number of years and
she had been my trusty partner for
a good time. Sadly her floppy became a
little dodgy and so I swapped her out
Her cracks in the case reflect a very
hard time in some other life. I had
opened her up to remove the RAM card
which I had also put in. Don't think I
removed the battery .. Dunno really
UPDATE
I think I found the lost A500Plus
motherboard I was looking for. Obvious
that I used it in the above machine
