The Amiga 1000, Still Receiving New Peripherals 35 Years Later

I had two Amiga 1000s. It's one of several early computers I regret giving away.

I guess Amiga enthusiasts are an unusual bunch. If you note in the comments to this post, it devolves quickly into a discussion of mixed voltages on FPGAs.

I feel ya! I threw away not one, but two!!! Amiga 500's I had when I moved houses 10 years ago. One wasn't working because I had done the Fat Agnes chip hack where you cut a trace on the MB to enable 1MB of "chip RAM". It worked sporadically and then just stopped one day. The other worked, but my 1084s didn't, so I couldn't use it if I wanted to. Sigh, I wish I hadn't gotten rid of mine...

That's because it's hackaday. A site for electronics and embedded engineers/hobbyists/tinkerers

It's not so much an amiga thing as a hackaday thing

That would be me spotting a problem in the design, and Im sure you meant elevates ;-)
