Thoughts on this, incidentally?
Any advice specific to starting up a TT030 that’s been idle for ~20
years? The only question with that system is, where is the monitor I
used for it.
I think the TT030 should just go? The other easy thing about the TT030 is
that it has a standard VGA connector. There is a special adapter

It feels like there are quite a few A4000T’s out there. Most people
that are really into the Amiga seem to have one. I’d really like to get
one, but they’ve always been $$$’s. Same with the A4000 itself. For me
the A1200 would make more sense at this point.

Looks like my Commodore 2002 monitor needs work. It’s not powering on.
However, a monitor that is about the same (says Amiga on the front), seems to
more or less work.
The A500 (KS1.2) and A600HD (KS2.0) both complain they need a boot disk. One
slight problem, I have no idea where any of

I've got a QuikPak A4000T with the '060 accelerator. Pretty
