Update on the odd behavior, floppy motor sounds like it wants to spin but doesn't, power light doesn't come on, neither does drive activity light. Seems that the keyboard is fine, as capslock comes on and doesn't blink.

Thanks for the help guys. Decided to pull the 68000 out and run it with no accelerator for the time being until I can work out a few issues with it. Floppy has no life and the keyboard has odd behavior, looks like there's been some work on it as well, the connector isn't keyed and there's an...

Pulling off the fan, looks like some Motorola chip. I also see a SN68000 in the same place as the link shows, so that confirms it. Thanks for the help

Hi everyone! Recently picked up my first A500 of off an ebay auction. After pulling out the ram expansion and cutting the battery off, I decided to take a look inside the machine itself. To my surprise, there's a daughter board that I don't recognize from photos of the stock PCB. Can anyone help...

jafir, looks like I don't have enough posts to start PMs; Just send me one when you're able

This is some awesome info! I'll have something to read waiting for shipping, thanks!

Haven't quite received everything from the seller, but based on what the seller was saying, it would boot from floppy, but not disk. I haven't tested it just yet. As for what I'd want on a boot disk, I'd have to do more research. What do you recommend?

Hey guys, I recently purchased a beautiful example of a 5160, with a hard disk and 5.25in drive. This'll be my first IBM or even IBM compatible. So, I've got a bit if a conundrum. I don't have any boot disks, nor do I have any 5.25in drives that I could use to write. What are my steps from here...

I have a few atmel dev boards and an IO board for cost of shipping, I also have an adapt 11 card, untested but hooking up Vcc and Gnd gives a power LED. Let me know if you want better pictures or anything

I'd be willing, but NJ is a little far, even when I'm down in the east coast, any chance of shipping, if I paid for it?

Thanks! Yeah, they can be hard to find sometimes. Most people bought one for the discount commodore gave. I found mine in a pawn shop while on vacation, extremely lucky find. I had no way of testing it outside of poking at traces with a scope, until recently. Not a bad place to start, but I'm...

Hey everyone, I'm fairly new to the hobby, so I'm always looking for new stuff. Currently, I own a Timex sinclair in box and a C64 that still needs some repair work. I just finished up a BS in information systems, and run support for a major SAN manufacturer.

Hey guys, I'm looking to get OS install disks, be they sealed or unsealed, OS/2 or DR-DOS, doesnt matter. I'm also looking for CPU trainer boards, or similar hardware.
