So the computer gods both smiled and frowned on me today.
I saw an ad on craigslist for a garage sale in Vancouver, WA - they listed "vintage Amiga and Atari stuff" so I emailed them to get the details. They had an Amiga 500 w/box, manuals, external floppy and software + a couple Amiga programming books. On the Atari side they had an 800XL with the DOS disks (but alas no floppy drive). He gave them to me
So, after that we decided to cruse around and hit some of the local thrift stores. No major finds but I did come across a filthy Atari 130XE and a copy of Space Channel 5 (Dreamcast) at their Goodwill outlet, I haven't tested it yet.
The frown came when I tried to re-partition my A2000's HD. It created a couple of corrupt partitions, which seemed to work after I re-formatted them, but then, after I re-installed WB 3.1, the drive decided to die, it locks up the SCSI bus on the A2000 (steady HD light) - oh well.
