Originally I was an A500 user in my teens. I started recently to buy various models in bad shape (1000, 2000, 500, 500+, 1200...) to fix and restore them, I still don't really understand completely why but I enjoy that a lot. My next project will be to build a "new" amiga 1200: new cases have been produced, new keyboards are coming soon and I just bought an unpopulated newly produced motherboard. So overall, this is very little nostalgia but more an excuse to learn new skills like troubleshooting hardware and SMD soldering.

- gbin 8y agoThat is cool. Terrible fire is doing that IIRC: they have an end to end emulation running now based on their previous foga based accelerator. You are planning to use that as a base to redo everything from scratch?
