It is always interesting seeing what people had on their old computers. Great job fixing that A2000!

Thank you. I always get excited when an old computer has a hard disk, I just never know what I'll find. With a big box Amiga I just hope it's something exciting and linked to TV or game creation.

I also have a box of screws taken out from various devices It's more handy than people would think really!

Isn't that the truth! Saves time and money when you can just access a stash of parts.

It's so cool how these old machines are little time capsules. I love how you treat them with such respect. Someone loved every one of these old computers.

Thank you! I do get excited when I see a hard disk drive, you just never know what you might discover!!

Great videos, thanks Keith! The results looks amazing

I really like that home made midi card! I want one for my 1500 and 2000.

Yes, it's a neat solution, haven't seen a commercial version like that.

I'm used to seeing Atari STs and Macs for midi use, but i was not aware that the Amiga was used for that as well. But then my attention was always on the keyboard models, like the 500 and 1200. I barely even knew Amiga had desktop models until long after i had moved to PC.

All the range could easily have MIDI added (and quite cheaply too) but I guess as it wasn't standard and a decent hi-res monitor was expensive, the Amiga lost out to STs and Macs. The CDTV was the only model to come with MIDI In/Out as standard but that was aimed at the living room.

Great video Keith. Cleaning montage's much shorter than RMC 😂😆

Thank you! You're in good company with your choice of Amigas, I still have my A1200 and CD32 too, along with quite a few other Amigas. Much more Amiga content to come! :-)

Thank you for another great video! Your meticulous restoration work is much appreciated.

@@TheDigitalOrphanage Quite a bit of damage. Several broken traces. Mostly pads separated from the trace. AMOS work has been a little slow. Been re-learning some 68K asm. I finally managed to backup ALL of my 1990's data off my A1200. :-)

Thank you! I met Graeme at the last SWAG meet in January. I forgot he said he had some videos on Amiga development, it was a such a busy day for me as I was the compère for the event.

I also have a 2000 in rev6.2 with a lot of cards on it but it has been down for a long time
