Hi,
I`m Simon from the Retro Computer Museum in Leicester UK.
We have many `vintage` computers/consoles to come and play on:
Commodore
Sinclair
Amstrad
Tatung
Sega
Nintendo
Atari
Oric
Sony (inc MSX)
MGT
MTX
Virtuality
Vectrex
Tandy
Jupiter
And more!
Myself, I have been part of the museum team for about 9 years, and I have an interest in Commodore Amigas, and Sinclair.
Between the museum and I, we have a collection of 6 Virtuality machines - that use Commodore Amiga 3000`s, so I``ve had to learn a lot about (trying) to fix them - hence my interest in Commodores.
I`m always looking for ideas on upgrading with out too much intervention - like a realtime clock for the CDTV using a coin cell (my next plan)
My personal collection is:
Amiga 500 - (my original one) - now upgraded, TF536 accelerator, MicroSD card hard drive, ECS Chipset, 1mb onboard (rather than 0.5chip/0.5fast), HDMI out.
Commodore CDTV - Scsi adapter, so microSD card HDD. 8bm Ram upgrade.
Custom build Amiga 3000 - built into a Checkmate 1500Plus case, using a kit I designed. (The amiga 4000 version is in design process now)
Sinclair ZX Spectrum Next - first issue.
Amiga 600 - with CF card HDD
Amiga 2000 - In all honesty - unknown; It was given to me about 3 years ago, and I only booted it once (due to space) to test if it works, and it did.
2 Virtuality machines (although one is missing an Amiga, and the other requires lots of TLC)
SGI Impact II - that I`ve just had the hard drives serviced - yet to rebuild.
Amiga 3000 Tower - well actually that belongs to the museum, but its in my collection for now, while I try to repair it, as well as remake some of the case panelwork as its missing.
