I have a number of the Plus Amigas in boxes but will have to leave the one that is in deep store. This baby however wasn't that hard to extract so I thought I would open up and see what was lurking under the hood and check the old battery removal. The computer had been fitted with a ROM switcher though no switch to the wire which looks like it was never connected. The machine has the newer dreadful floppy drive that causes me no end of issues. She was working but I did hold my breath. So much of the circuit board is exposed to dirt and dust through the floppy disk slot. No expansion was present. She does have an interesting serial number. Anyhoo she was working fine, though stuck in 1.3 mode. The Switcher is actually called a Pheonix DSH ROM Sharer. The unit comes with a plastic block fitted to the shielding which prevents the LED lights sitting snug in their slots. Amiga 500Plus - Opening more than the box.
