on that note: i just booted up an A500 that I bought 20 years ago for the first time

i never had bothered with the machine because I preferred its older brother A1000 for the case design and overall style

as it turns out, the previous owner installed a 2MB RAM + clock upgrade, as well as an internal HDD in this A500! i had no idea they were capable of having internal HDDs D:

i soldered a new clock battery in, and it's running like new. pretty amazing machine for its footprint.

@vga256 @vga256 https://RetroRewind.ca has plungers for the Mitsumi style keyboard. For a spring my advice is to reach out to us through the Contact Us link on the website and we’ll see what we can do. 😁

@jason_warnes thanks kindly for the offer. shipping 20 grams of plastic via regular parcel unfortunately kills it :)
