First time greetings!
Hello EAB!
I meant to write this message back in December '21 when I first joined, but family, work, and other shenanigans got in the way. So, after a fair stint away from the Amiga, I find my way back to her. It all started back in '92 with my beloved A500, and slowly the expansions happened, starting with the 512k trapdoor expansion.. Then the Supra Ram FastMem expansion, followed by the glorious GVP external hard drive - I'd like to say that it was a 120MB model. Not sure... Anyways, the original computer is long gone... the Varta battery of Doom saw the end to her in 1999. I was forced to jump from Amiga to PC because of my job and studies at the time and I was using her less and less. I resisted until one day, a bloke called Neil on his Youtube channel [RMC] documented on video his building of something called an A500++... And now I am the very proud owner of 1 A500 Rev6 [1.3] 2-very-nearly-finished A500++, 1 working A1200 [which I fixed] and a "just started" ReAmiga A1200. Exciting times! I am simply amazed by just how many upgrades are available for the Amiga! Some very clever guys and gals have been busy beavering away over the years.  More exciting news is that I actually got my first A500++ powered up and working today! Kind regards Also forgot to mention that I've also recently discovered WinUAE! Had to watch a couple of YT tutorials to get it to do something!

Welcome to EAB. Given you are restoring / upgrading Amigas, you might want to look at Checkmate cases as they may suit your pretty new motherboards well!

Welcome KarlosJackel, not sure if you are aware, But I do a blog about Amiga Games and are adding many PD/Shareware/Freeware Games to a ever growing Games Collection each month, includes the Games and the WinUAE Emulator
I cannot legally provide the Kickstart ROMS, But there is an AROS Only Collection if you do not have the KS ROMS handy, which has a few playable Games in it for you to try Hope you enjoy the community here, I know I sure do, so helpful and nice, please feel free to ask any questions, I am sure either me, or this wonderful community can help find you the answers Please enjoy your stay, and please wipe yer feet, sit down, have a drink and relax
