@Aexomer I would also love metallic candy apple green or red, Hot Rod style.

Got to love how clean the A500++ looks.

Nice color, all though it was difficult to tell on the video cover image. I actually thought the case was just yellowed at first glance. Dark red, dark orange or dark purple would’ve also looked excellent.

Impressed with that spray job.

That case is beautiful.

I appreciate how much passion and work you put in this computer! Congratulations! Great work, looks so beautiful!

i say bring back the Amiga 500 with floppy drive !!! in 2024 yes

Amiga floppy drives are extinct. You may have secondhand drive if you are willing to pay 100€ or more.

Rather bring it back with internal SSD and Flashable OS chip. Chips are much faster these days. Relying on floppy speeds today would be like watching a race between paint drying and your computer booting up. The only thing wrong with the old commodore product was they were managed by an idiot so they died on the vine. Had they the same backing that Macintosh or IBM computers had back then, they’d have a majority slice of the market today because they were so good at multi-tasking.

I'm a fan of the floppy, too. I'd pay a premium for a modern iteration of the old drive, along the lines of the LS-120 drives.

Very nice job! I'll be honest the yellow colour isn't for me for an Amiga, but you've done a lovely job of it with the pearlescent colour there. Love the Amiga music throughout too!

loadwb ❤️ many greetings from brunswick in germany and please stay safe 🙃

Question - can you build me one?? Still love the Amiga! Have 3 of these - 2 Pluses and a standard 500 - and a A600, too!

You don't expect an Amiga 500 Plus to look brand new and still have the Commodore logo with those adaptations! It's as if an agreement has been made with Commodore showing the B-52's and reverse engineering!

Amiga rulez! Forever!!!

The biggest issue with these is the custom chips. If building these depletes the stocks of spares then ultimately it is counter-productive. For rebuilding an A500+ that's been destroyed by a leaking battery then the new PCBs are useful.

Yeah I only did it as the original pcb was kaputt. But plenty of A500+ kicking about before we all go fpga :) . All the best

Not quite my cup of tea to be honest, but it is not hard to say that it is an excellent job still. And great to see that someone cares for the ECS chip set still. One little thing that really interested me was the VU meter to the left of the machine. Would it be possible to update the description with any details on that pretty please with sugar on top?

Nice work! What did you do with the donor board? The damage on it is relatively minor, I have seen far worse repaired.

@retro101gamer

4 ай бұрын

There was trace damage under Agnus that I also repaired on the donor and I managed to get the kickstart image up, however there were graphical glitches that kind of suggested one of the ECS ICs were faulty OR one memory chip was bad or Further trace damage. I was simply spending more time on fault finding than I wanted to. Then the idea of a new PCB grew on me.

Loogadis just loogadis!

Did you fix the garbage floppy drive?

@retro101gamer

Ай бұрын

Just serviced it, it is Still working lovely. I now have an external gotek that plugs into the external floppy drive port and then a switch to set it as df0. So that has reduced the need to always use the floppy drive. I will add a spitfire accelerator eventually, which has an ide port. Therefore, I plan to add an SD2IDE interface and load the SD card with workbench, utilites and whdload games. Or just put AmigaGamesSelector on the SD card. Which will virtually make the internal floppy drive redundant, apart from nostalgia floppy loading. But I love the floppy 💾 drive. It is an integral part of the Amiga.

Hopefully it will run Wizball

Fresh pcb with a couple of design changes/fixes over the original, then new discrete and logic components. Original custom IC's used. A great project for an AMIGA fan, if you have a dead A500+ because of clock battery leakage + corrosion. This replacement PCB can bring it back to life. Add a modern accelaror, RGB to hdmi, SD based hard drive etc. , if you wish.

Great! Cool! Nice! swap or die!
