Entry 10th August 2019: Post 01: Amiga 500 - Rev 5 Commodore Key.
Amiga 500 - Rev 5 Commodore Key.
Welcome to one of my most favourite Amigas. I just love this
computer. She has the most wonderful keyboard. Set against the
pale of the original fading case the keys are so white and grey.
And in amongst the keys sits the actual Commodore key. if you
study any of the artwork to Amiga 500 boxes you will see that
they show a Commodore key. And yet only the early machines had
the Commodore key. And the feel of the keyboard is just magic.
Inside we find the Rev 5 board and not the Rev 3 so not that
ancient in truth. However, the board has a number of modifications
which I assume were undertaken to overcome issues with the earlier
boards. So beautifully put together and a credit to the good
workmanship of the Commodore name.
She works just perfectly and never lets me down. I have this
computer on permanent display and it always makes my heart skip
a beat when I see that classic Commodore key. Only on an Amiga.
