Something Newish for me
A500 Vampire machine well upgraded after a path of TF536 and PiStorm and HDMI PI.
This is as closer a machine as I could get from my Orginal A500 from 1988. I had the A590 and CD as well back in the day LOL.
I bought my first machine with Monitor and second Fdd as well from the SSVC in RAF Wildenrath with my engagement money loved that machine made the mistake of selling it off to buy the Crappy CDTV which I hated.
The TF536 is amazing works fast and does well with the PI HDMI but wanted more so Tried the PISTORM great but I have limited time these days so with a Swap from a great guy in the US I got the Vampire A500 V2 + wow this machine with my INDI ECS V2 works a treat and I love it only thing is making all fit that's my next job lid will not close.
PSU I got came from Retro Passion thanks Steve for testing it for me. the Mega Memory needs some reading Only getting 1.5mb instead of 2mb. Has anyone managed to get the DKB Mega chip 500/2000 to show 2mb of chip ram?
One area I would Like would be maybe a newer case that takes in the Mods done.
Thanks, Guys for looking
