Your love for Amiga is unmatched Dr Chris! As a 13 year old kid back in the early 90s I spent many years swapping games for my A500. At the time I had no idea about the journey of Amiga and Commodore, workbench or what its true capabilities were. Sure we had Jesus on Es and spaceballs to show off the graphics and sound (taking much fun out of inferior 16bit consoles)It’s thanks to guys like you that teach us youngsters the true potential of these systems and how they shaped the personal computer. Seems to me the Amiga was so close to being the standard format! Another great video Chris. Huge thanks from the UK

Don't you love it when more things break while your trying to fix something. Always nice to see A1000s running, after all they set the bar.

A mate had an Amiga 1000 and it was the first time I'd been introduced to one after reading about them in various magazines of the era. So wanted one but was out of my reach for a few years until 1992 when I traded a C64 in for a refurbished Amiga 500.

Another great vid Dr Chris. Have had things like this happen to me on A1200 systems. Real head scratcher when these happen. Cheers 🍻

Don't trust SD cards for many write cycles. And they can be corrupted if writing and the power goes off. Clone a working good one and store it inside the computer. Swap it in if Amiga is misbehaving.

In XCopy in the Tools menu iirc there is an option Killsys which throws as much of WB and unneeded things out, switches to a few colors to give more memory. On 1MB machines that was just enough to do the trick without a swap. Btw when you get numbers other than 0 when reading disks in xcopy it means it can't properly read it.

My guess soon as you said "Green Screen", was Agnus, I had a few green screened Amigas, that was Agnus popping Socket & Roaming free, but maybe your A1000 was jealous of all the other Amiga you give love to, & Wanted some attention....

What makes your A1000 a boing ball edition. What does that mean.

@ChrisEdwardsRestoration 25 күн бұрын

the first editions did not have the checkmark stickers, they had boing balls on them, the keyboard, monitor and floppy disks (i dont have that one) had the boing ball logo, this is serial 105 or 109 i forget, its very low. i got it on pre release way back in dec 1985 or jan 86 as i had inside access to a early release before the general public.

@davidwright9166 not till 91. I was friends with a developer on the original amiga team in the 80s and had early access to it, hence the boingball edition

@@ChrisEdwardsRestoration Back in 86 my first computer that I paid money for was a A1000. Before that day I didn't even know it existed. I went into a store with the intent of buying a Mac. In the corner of the store sat a floor model A1000 running the juggler demo. I asked the salesman what that was. He said oh it's just a Commodore Amiga. I left the store with that machine.
