My New A600

Peter · 03 March 2009, 14:16

I just got this...

My first A600 for ages... it is in remarkably good condition.
It has the KS ROM 2.05 v37.350 so I should be able to put a 2GB CF card in without any problem.

When the 8 MB RAM upgrades are produced I will put one in this A600 - should make it a pretty neat little computer.

It's boxed and the security seal is intact!
It looks like it has been very well looked after.

It does make a change to not have to spend all day cleaning an Amiga that you have bought - in a way I'm pleased but I almost feel cheated as the restoration and cleaning are part of the process... I just need to blow the dust off this...

I had forgotten how cool the A600 is in design - I know it has it's draw backs but it is still a great little computer.

I will add some more pictures as I add bits to it - I am going to keep the original ROM at this stage as I intend to run the Classic Workbench A600 install on this - I will get a 1MB RAM for it soon as Amigakit have them on order.
I will have to break the security seal to install the CF Card Hard Drive!!

That a nice little find, great condition

Im waiting on a a500 and a600 with printer and various bits which should arrive anytime this week

I was browsing ebay as i needed another a500 and ended up winning a bid with more than i needed at a nice price

So i will wait until it all arrives and see how much cleaning it all needs etc... then i will probs sell the a600 and the printer as i only wanted the a500

It is a nice one billy - I have been watching A600's on Ebay for a little while... there are a few about and they are holding their price at the moment.

Shame you cant put an Indivision in one of these...

PowerPie5000 - stick some pics up of what you get delivered if you can, be interesting to see what arrives!

Incredibly good find.
I'd be tempted at buying another one with the seals broken. Then I'd stash that perfect one in the loft.
Breaking the Amiga's seals is like deflouring a virgin.

But the probability of finding one (neither of those) that's untouched is close to zero...

Two thing I've not done in a long, long time.

An old thread but I have been upgrading my A600 with a few bits lately so I thought I would add a few pictures...

1. I have added a 2GB CF Card via an adapter - HD light works fine... you can also see I have an A603 in place.

2.Amigakit ROM Switcher fitted...

3.The Switcher has 3.1 and 1.3 ROMS fitted... thanks to lolafg for the 1.3 ROM! - I would recommend this ROM Switcher from Amigakit!

Nice A600 , happy to see my ex 1.3 rom in it

fitzsteve · 17 February 2010, 09:46

Nice work Mr P

A600 might be a failure as a commercial product for its time period, but it's a perfect gizmo for retro gaming.
