Today, I bought a sexy plexiglass case for my spare Amiga 600 PCB, which will also receive some extensive restauration & modification work on my part.

This is going to be my "Floppy Disk Image" Amiga.

I've had to think about buying this for some days, but I think it's the cheapest I could get. I've bought an Spectrum +3 for 149€ plus 12 for sending it:

https://www.ebay.es/itm/Ordenador-Si...72.m2749.l2649

I already have my two old 48kb Speccys and another one that I bought -all with new caps, RGB mod, membrane and keyboard plate-, but most of the new games are made for 128kb, so I want to have it.

All of the other options to get one were over two hundred.

Trap Runner. The package is not much impressive, but I like physical releases.



And it contains a funny manual in colours and A3 poster too.

4 Kickstarters have arrived recently: RE Formation 1+2 (Matt Gray), Project SIDologie and Uncle Art film documentary.
So many hours of stuff to enjoy.

Floppy disk Ambermoon

Finally, after ages, a boxed Ambermoon with unmodified disks appeared on eBay for a reasonable price - bought immediately

How do you know it was unmodified, was it sealed?

I just asked the seller, he copied the disks after returning from the shop and put them back into the box.
No, I cannot be sure that they are still working after more than two decades, but I'll see. But the sealed box on eBay (currently at 650 Euro, I'm monitoring this item since it was at 300 Euros ) might have the same problem...

Just bought a second ACA 1233n for my second ACA500 plus. Jens lifted the one per customer restriction for me so I could buy it (Thanks Jens!!). Now I only need to get my other 2 A500+ Amigas repaired and I`m a fairly happy camper!!!

Football Manager World Cup Edition on Disk for Spectrum +3, won it for £12.50. Was going to bid on the same one a few days ago but didn't bother when it hit £72

The disks are unmodified, but two of of them have reading errors (well, on an A500 with an original Chinon drive - I have neither special hardware here nor a second drive to try).
After scanning the map, rune table, disks, and the box/cover (not in the best condition), I'm scanning the manual (I'm not happy with the existing scans that I found somewhere...) - this will keep me busy for a while :-)

ps: the original map is 21.77 x 16.79 inches (6532 x 5036 pixels with 300 DPI)

With my lastest 20" TV - which works fine with the Amiga and C64 - I also got a Soundbar for free. It's flat (like a screen stand) and you put directly under the small TV - now my miggy sounds even better.

I think I've finally got a solution to my problem of more than 2mb fastram with an A590 - bought an unnamed sidecar memory expansion with pass-through connector. Now just waiting on a delivery of zip ram and a 68010 to complete this A500+ with period-correct upgrades (it's got a KCS Power PC board too).

Downside is I'll need a wider desk.

I got an OSSC after reading favorable reviews which will hopefully improve the image quality somewhat on my CD32.

I would have preferred to get an Indivision AGA, but unfortunately these are still currently unavailable and regrettably icomp's futures seems uncertain from what I understand.

I just received my 3 ATX PSU adapters for my A1200's and A500

https://twitter.com/LMRFUD/status/1112877318937051137

Next time I will get them made locally as shipping costs were more than the items.
