My housemate had an Amiga 1000. Cool computer for the time and we played many a video game on it. One day the floppy drive died. We bought a compatible floppy drive and opened it up. There was a aluminum shield over the drive and most the components that required a large number of screws to remove. I've had easier times opening up a laptop to fix something than that pain in ass 1000...
- acherion 4y agoCommodore took radio shielding rather seriously back then. The wedge Amigas (A500, A600 and A1200) also had excessive metal shielding everywhere. A lot of Amiga owners nowadays just dispose of that as it always gets in the way when you have to fix the next thing that breaks in these machines.
