Hey all, just joined the forum. I got my start with Commodore 8-bit machines but jumped to PCs after my trusty C128 started getting a little long in the tooth, so I never really experienced the Amiga world. I did use an A3000 for a few years back in the mid 90's for video work but never really explored beyond the specific software I was using.
Fast forward to today and been getting back into the retro scene and I still had that old A3000 tucked away in a closet along with a defunct 1084S. A full recap, a new flyback, and HOT and the monitor is as good as new. The 3000 had a pretty leaky battery which I cleaned up and replaced -- thankfully the damage was only cosmetic. Other updates include 3.1.4 ROMs/OS, a SCSI2SD to replace the ailing Quantum drive, and a WiModem232 to get online.
It's been a lot of fun learning how to set this thing up and work through the issues I've run across. Looking forward to being a part of this community and picking up some knowledge as well as some goodies to expand my stock system!
