I have an old Amiga 2000 laying around with its original keyboard and mouse. According to Deskthority, the keyboards with Cherry switches (which I have) are way rarer than the later models. Seeing the prices the more common ones go for on Ebay, do I have a super expensive keyboard? And since that is also most likely the original keyboard for my computer, it's also probably an early model. The computer's serial number is DA 4 030400 and it's motherboard revision 4.1. All the chips also have date codes from mid to late 1987.

I bought my first amiga around 1990. It came with a bunch of very strange and dated games. Not sure if it was a standard 'pack' or just something the shop put together. The games were in old style large cassette tape sized boxes. The most memorable was shufflepuck cafe. There was a very dodgy galic footbal game and a very poor medieval adventure game, andpossibly a couple of others.

Can anyone confirm if this was a pack and what the other ganes might have been?

hi!

I found http://retrospection.pl/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Amiga-1000-Kick-Howto.pdf a while back, and i've gone to get some boards made.

but the website is busted now, and it's not in archive.org .

​

Does anyone have a copy of that pdf? I can't find it anywhere!

​

Thx!

An email from ‘igor.majstorovic’ sent out on the Vampire mailing list airs the dirty laundry in the group.

I had an amiga back in the day (I'm in the US) and one of my hobbies now is to build electronics and stuff. I saw that you can order an after-market Amiga 500 PCB now... which is great, I'd love to take that project on. But it looks like I missed my chance? All the Amiga's I'm seeing on sale are... ridiculously expensive. One popped up on an auction site the other day, I started to bid, but the price immediately shot up to nearly $600. I'm not a "collector" and honestly don't want to take a true vintage amiga from the community... I get it. But these proprietary chips are a problem. It looks like those are extremely over priced as well. Is anyone working on reproductions? Or... is there maybe an Arduino chip emulation project or something? This would be a fun project but I don't want to end up spending over $1000 on it. lol

Hi, my cousin and I used to play Amiga some 30+ years ago. I am looking for a name for a game that is very much like "dogs of war", but it is not that game. In the game I am looking for, they scream a little louder than in "dogs of war". Anybody have a clue?

I still have the setup from 1989 or so.

Just watched the Youtube interview of Francois Lionet and the Amos 2 compiler.

Looking to download the compiler but cant find a link?

Does the opening theme always play the same? I seem to recall, it sometimes played ever so slightly differently, but I always just dismissed this as imagination. Any input on this?

Just like the title says, trying to get some of my Macintosh II graphics into the Toaster. Anyone trying to sell one?

Hi folks, I recently unearthed my old Amiga 2000 from my parents' garage after 25 years of storage in the Texas heat.

Besides getting a recommendation on the right power cord, what other caveats do you have before I fire it up (and I might mean that literally because I don't want to cause any fires).

Thanks for your support.
