Hey chaps.

Can anyone help me get my only remaining Amiga back to it's former glory.

It's missing the Tab key and spring. Also missing a floppy drive.
Strange as it had both of these before it got put in the attic :blink:

Also, any news on that A500 accelerator card?

You mean this one? :)

Jens is still busy with it. It will be an external one rather than an internal one.
Oh, and don't fear: the card will lie flat, this upright one is just a testversion...


On topic: I'm afraid I can't help you :ninja:

Hi Mate, I have a FDD for you - tenner + post ok?

It's tested & working of course.

And I can send the Key too, I have an A500 Keyboard here already missing a key, it wont matter if it's now missing two :LOL:

Just gotta check it ain't the 'tab' key that's missing :whistle:
 
LMAO. yeah that'd be great mate. Figure as it's my last remaining piece of Amiga I'll get it up and running and then play the waiting game on the ACA520.

Or might just get an A570 for it for no reason other than it looks lonely :LOL:
 
If needed, I also have the keys from a busted A500. You can have the TAB key & spring for free + postage
 
erm, I kinda forgot about this thread :double

Just had alook at my A500 for the 1st time in a few months. Seems it's not the tab key, it's the one above. the ` key :LOL:

Also seems that my tank mouse has decided to run off somewhere. So one of these aswell? :oops:
 
Hi!

The Keyboard went a while ago, will A1200 keys fit? I have a box of spare A1200 keys.

I still have the FDD if you need that too.

All my space mice have run away too :LOL:
 
I've never checked if a1200 keys fit actually. good question :)

I'll pm ya mate and get my miggy back up and running. Going to make this the best A500 I can (y)
 
if steve doesent have the keys i cant sort you out.:)

the 1200 keys might be the right size,but might not be the same colour.

I also have a lot of busted a500 keyboards I can take the keys needed from.. And a spare tank mouse. Pm me if interested :)
 
Stuff arrived today. Very quick postie :eek: :)

Fitted it all. Found a floppy cable and of all things. It would appear I'm missing the power cable afterall :LOL:

Feedback left mate :)
 
You clot, I could have sent you one :p

Glad you got it quickly tho!
 
Lmao. I know mate. Still, I have enough of the basics now.

Coulda sworn that the a500 was a rev6 board too. Seems its a rev5 also
Couple of set backs to my plan here.

Might just go for an a500+ board, or even just sack it off and go the a600 route. Need to have a think on this now. :)
