At long last -- my Amiga 2000 has a CPU speed switch!
( Fast and Faster )
A "new" 40MHz 68030/882 accelerator with 8MB 32-bit FAST RAM is slotted in and wired with a switch, there on the front. Base 68000 system has 8MB 16-bit FAST RAM, a respectable fallback for cycle-exact OCS/ECS demos.

@alfredz Die Platten im TB Bereich laufen noch alle in meinem NAS. Ich rede hier eher von alten Ersatzteilen, die ich heute bestimmt nicht mehr brauche.
Der Verkauf von diesen Dingern lohnt sich auch nicht wirklich. Aber es ist nachhaltig, mein Regal wird leerer und irgend ein Retro Gamer oder Industrieanlagenschrauber freut sich vielleicht.

Pour fêter l'histoire de la micro-informatique européenne,
Voici un petit hommage au Philips VG5000µ de 1984.Construit au Mans, équipé du Zilog Z80A à 4 MHz et du fameux chip graphique EF9345. C’était une machine taillée pour la crise . Elle exigeait d'acheter l'extension VG5216 juste pour pouvoir brancher des manettes... Le véritable esprit DIY des années 80 ! 🐘⚙️
