usually has troubles with electrolytic capacitors on motherboard, this is an
easy fix. If you want to play floppie games on the 500, the easiest way is:
- A1200
- Memory expansion (at least 4MB)
- CF card or Hard Disk
- A program that read image floppies and emulate a floppy. I don't
remember the name now, but it is easy to find on the net
It has been many years since I looked at them, but the one has a bad video
circuit, and the other has a surface mount IC that overheats. If I keep
spraying the chip that overheats with canned air, it stays up. Please note
that canned air is not an ideal solution to keep a system up. :-)
I'll definitetly have to take a look at my A600 once I get it dug out.
