Thats a shame as the A500+ is a really great system. I still have mine as well as a 1200.

@wrestletube1 Yep, it's still sitting as just a shell :o(

Nice Amiga there, just a quick question. My Amiga A600 came today in the post and it didn't come with the workbench boot disk thing. i was wondering if you or anyone else knew where to get one and what makes things a little more difficult is that i dont have ebay as im too young :L.

Cheers :)

@MegaRetro21 I'd send you a copy but they are very unreliable and even mine don't work :o( Try on the Amiga forums :o)

Aww, the poor thing! I recently aquired an A500+ to replace the one I had as a kid. (£30 with bunch of floppies, which I'm still going through checking and formatting!) Anyway, my battery exploded whilst I was using it, Took it apart straight away, cleaned it up and sealed off the offending area with hot glue. Works perfectly! =)

@XantheWolf Your lucky to have caught it in time, this one is not so lucky, and now it's motherboard is artwork on the wall of the lab :o)

[RetroGamerVX]

@blade004 Yes, I used to use that when the hard drive was working :o)

[blade004]

Check out WHDLoad for your A1200 ;)

my amiga internal floppy drive doesn't read disks anymore. it just gives me an error message when it tries to read it. If you know, can you tell mw please how do you fix that?

@RetroGamerVX Well, as long as you what tracks are between the layers, which you should be able to measure with a multimeter pretty easy on a good board (just need to search around the affected area) you can solder wires to the connection points and it should start right up again. You will end up with a "dead cockroach" kind of thing over the affected area, but the machine should work fine.
