GVP .. Future-proofing
I actually started collecting computers as a way of future-proofing
my interest. I guess when Commodore went bust it became apparent
that new kit was going to become a little rare. Having bought my
A1200 I failed to get a 1942 monitor in time and had to settle for
a Microvitec. Following this I had a failure with a monitor and
even the electrical repair shop I used specialising in Amigas
closed down.
So I began to check the adverts in the local paper and when the odd
Amiga kit came up for sale I would often buy them. The whole process
was to future'proof' my interest as I couldn't be without the Amiga.
Soon this grew into, well kinda future-proofing the future-proofing
until I became the nutter that I am now.
So with the failure of the GVP power supply, are you surprised that
I just happened to have these two boxes on a shelf.
GVP Series II
No worries I had a spare anyway. As you do !!
