Amiga 1200 looking very pale.. poor thing
Drafted in the Samsung to make life easier
Machine boots from a soft reset
Halts at this error identifying
MCP as the basic problem
Just click Okay and I'm in
I always check the state of the drive first
Validation threw up no issues
That's not unusual even on a
dodgy drive
MCP is written to the main startup
and I'm guessing it's busted. The
library doesn't exist for a start
Nothing else suspicious
Someone likes fancy pointers
Not my bag. Always seem to
cause problems.
And there is the bigger problem
No MUI installed. There seems to
be quite a bit missing from this drive
Nothing to do really other than
to delete the entry and archive
the files and folders
That worked
Whilst carrying out this exercise I
kept losing video signal and sound
I was suspicious of the Scart cable
and so moved the computer to the
Microvitec to check. Always worth
checking cables and connections before
hacking into the computer
Anyway.. half an hour or so of Pinball
later and I was confident it was a
dodgy Scart cable that was the problem
So couldn't resist a bit of Colonization
And then a quick few laps
This box had a great set of disks
books and documents. Plus the actual
packaging was in first class condition
Almost felt brand new in truth. Glad
the computer is working though I need
to keep the 2.5" primed to stop it
locking up. That's a problem with
storing the kit in boxes sadly.
All good.
