• A500 electronics beginner projects

    Hi,

    I just wanted to know what you did or know about Amiga add-on
    projects, espacially for the A500.

    I have a fear that assembly language might destroy my hardware.

    I have the Amiga forever programs though.

    Thanks in advance,
    Zara

    I'm in the same boat and have been looking around. I just had an A500
    gifted to me that was in a friend's attic. I've used them off/on for years
    in emulators, but I've never used the hardware. The first project I have to deal with is that it has the A501 board in it, which has been untouched
    since it was first installed. I know I need to get the battery off of taht
    and clean up the board. Outside of that, I still need a mouse for it and
    some way to boot it, as I don't have any boot floppies, nor even know if
    the drive works. Like you, I have
    some hardware fun ahead of me.
