Oh, yup... there it is on the PS. That's different. Even the 128 had a power switch on the unit. Do people put their own switch in? I noticed that this unit has never been cracked open. Therefore, I can probably be certain that it has never been upgraded. It asks for workbench 2.1. I have read that it is fairly easy to upgrade the ROM chip. Does that allow me to run a higher version of workbench? I also read that the processor can be changed out to a higher version (I would think that you would have to increase the clock speed to do that).
Is there a FAQ section on this forum with a lot of info for mods? Also, I can't seem to locate a search function to search all the old threads. I'll bet there is a lot of info in the old threads from other people asking questions. I also bet that you all get tired of A500 questions. :-o I have scoured the web looking for A500 info but I think I missed the boat by a few years!
Where is the best place to get parts? This unit could really use a new internal keyboard and I would really like to get some upgrade parts. I would REALLY like to get TCP-IP running and network this computer and browse the web with it. Anyone have any experience doing that? Sorry for all the questions....
