As I wrote to "Post here everytime you get something new" -thread, a friend of mine was moving to another apartment and he was going to trash some retro hardware. I saved them from total demolition and now my work room is full of retro stuff I don't know where to put it...
Well, there was three non-working A500 -machines in the pile, and one of them was surprisingly an early A500 with C= -logo on it's keyboard. (At first I found out the keyboard were swapped to another miggy, but I'm pretty sure it belongs to this one...) Sad thing the keyboard is missing some keys (and it's azerty, way off from swe/fin layout), the machine had broken floppy, it was upgraded to ks1.3 and quite dirty. It had battery leakage fluid all over it, because one of the machines had leaked it _a lot_. Good news is that when it's powered, there is that white screen with kickstart floppy in it.
Well, I never had an A500, so this is my project to restore one to full glory of 1987 :-D
