Hi, hope you are all well.
My A500+ was my first computer I received as a birthday gift, with a 1084S-P2 (I think) monitor many moons ago when life was easy. That was what got me hooked and moved me into my chosen career as a software developer.
Recently brought the old girl back into commission after being given the machine back a couple of years ago (we gave it away to some friends who had just been gifted with twins about 15 years ago). Now that has got the nostalgic fires burning again. Amazingly, other than having no clock battery for now (I cut it out to save the board) - the machine still works, it is now on it's third floppy drive I think.
I need to find a use for my Raspberry Pi, so I'm thinking AROS may be making an appearance in the near future in the house as well as some more drive stepper exercises on the A500+
