ScuzzBlog: Diaries August 2017 Entry 30th August 2017: Post: 6 RETROSpring 2017 Entry Six [ diary entry ] I had intended creating a series of blogs relating to the following images and did begin to write a whole bag of text but sadly time got the better of me and I moved on. So I feature the images as a kind of RETROspective of earlier this Spring just so I can at least feature the photographs. The pictures shown here reflect my activities for Spring April/May 2017 and the joys of retro. And so below is RETROSpring of 2017 Entry Six TLC for the 2000. Three units in need of repair Just a clean down and seating of the card got her working Internal workings of the Amiga 2000 Added a RAM card I had lying around Think thats an Port Extender.. Don't have my notes Looks like one More internal images This is the dodgy card that was refusing to boot Just needed a little dust off and the connector cleaned The Bridgeboard. I abandoned this as a project in favour of getting the 1060 working I did spend a reasonable amount of time with the humble A600 in the spring The 2000 with a GVP needed just the screw removed to the accelerator card and she worked The inside needed a bit of a spring clean Getting there The 2320 fitted to the GVP 2000 More power to the 2000. With the board cleaned the card reseated but not locked in with the screw she worked just fine. In the end the spring saw four Amiga 2000/1500s back up and running. Was a very successful period. Good news they are still working Emulator card An Amiga 500 with 5000 worth of power Strange RAM expansion for the A600. You really never know what you are going to find in there I did struggle with the hard drives on the 600 and spent some good time using a Parnet to back up Uncovered a few lost 600s in boxes Note the HD on the badge. A rogue A500Plus which still had the battery Not for very long Trouble with the checkmate second SCSI drive Spent a good time getting the Parnet working Transferring data from the Checkmate to a 1200 My little army of A500's waiting checking I checked through 26 machines and just two had problems A1000s at the ready for the 1060 shake down C128's desktops put through their paces The struggle that was the Amiga 1060 Hadn't realised how significant and important the original Amiga mouse was to the sidecar process Boxes and more boxes Dragging all the 1000s out for their spring clean And the 1060 worked in the end. Needed just the right brand of sidecar sofware , but she worked The inside of a 1060 That floppy drive needs a good clean A memory expansion for the A1000. Sadly takes up the same slot as the Sidecar so pretty useless And that was the spring of 2017
