ScuzzBlog: Diaries September 2022
Entry 29th September 2022: Post 3: Doing the A590 shuffle.
Doing the A590 shuffle.
Found this little set of images from an old Yahoo Groups diary
entry and couldn't resist showing this again. Man do I just love
the A590. All on XT drives and still have three in permanent use.
They never fail me... incredible.
The notes will not make much sense without the previous diary entry.
Doing the A590 shuffle.
The A590 living in its box
Basic details of the joys of the A590
Life inside the box
Ground floor is my 3.1 ROM A500 with 2.1
2nd floor my 1.3 A590 unit
And top floor the A590 just out of the box
First Floor on the 1.3 machine
The new A590 and the disk light illuminates and no boot
Time to format the hard drive
There are two partitions on the drive. I create System
Time to format the second partition
Drive formatting
I did check the drive for errors first
Next up we install 2.1
2.1 installation in process
Disk swapping the installation disks
Installation successful
The installation creates a sexy new System icon
Check the install with my tools disk
Turns out I had another boxed A590
Same hard drive issues so installed 2.1
The drive had just the one partition
Unhooked the new drives and checked the 1.3 machine
Nice selection of software for the time
Amiga BASIC in action
Packed house by the looks of it
My goodness we are four storeys high and
there are still two A590s elsewhere
XT's and all still working... magic
Never use the 570. Don't worry the badge
is in a very safe place
OK back to the ground floor and the 3.1 machine
Good old MultiCX
This little adventure started with yet
another A590 and my search for the 1.3.2.
34.28 update disk ...
