could you do me a favour and upload a pic of the back ports for me? i intend to do them but i can't find a good/clear picture online. the straighter the better if that's ok

Sure thing, here you go The cards are of course variable, but this is pretty typical of an original-ish setup, with an original IBM floppy controller and serial controller and a clone MDA.

thanks very much! really do appreciate it and it will keep me busy for the next few days

one last question, what are the feet like on the underside? don't need a pic of is it's not really seen, but it can affect shadows, etc. are they just the usual cylindrical feet?

cheers, and thanks again

At least on mine, they're cylindrical corkboard wafers, maybe 2mm thick by 2cm wide or so.

ah right, I see. sort-of what I've done so I will leave them at that

I've added a bit of grunge/wear to the machine now and added a keyboard (minus the keys! lol) Viva Amiga! say they don't need a keyboard modelling so I won't bother adding the keys.

I've also changed the lighting a bit to see if it brings out the difference between the top and front of the machine. I think it has? well, a bit.



please let me know what you think, and thanks for taking the time for me

just got a monitor to do now, will start that tonight

cheers,

Hah, fantastic Yes, with the lighting changed I can say that those colors are just about the same as mine.

that's nice to know. it's not easy using photos as reference. actually, having been working on this for the last few days, it's made me really want to own the actual machine, so I might see how much I can get one for

thanks again for looking and helping me out I owe you a beer or three

I won't bore you with any more, lol, I've added more grunge to it now, to age it a bit, not really needed but I've enjoyed doing it. lol

Ahh that feeling when you buy an Amiga which hasn't been used for 15 years and it works perfectly. She is a little filthy but surprisingly white and the disk drive is slightly noisy but reads disks and plays games as though it is still 1992

Kickstart 37.300 (2.05) and REV 1.5 mobo

I know it's broken and in rough shape, and not even in my possession yet, as I've only just won it on ebay, but I'm quite excited about owning an Atom...

Plus it's going to TC and I know he'll do a fantastic job of restoring it
If anyone has any spare keys please let me know
