@herr_irrtum@s.basspistol.org It's actually not as bad as you'd think if you have the right tools. But yeah there is that fear, especially if the player means a lot to you. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be initially :-)
I love that portable A600! Perfect for music creation indeed! 🙂
Replying to
@swelljoe@mas.to Plenty of FM synthesis mentions on my channel, especially vintage synths 🙂

@PastaThief@indiepocalypse.social This is for a diskmag project a friend is doing. Someone who is emulating can switch Kickstart ROM as they need to. Unless they have a switcher, people with real hardware cannot easily switch their kickstart ROM. So it's more from that angle.
I'm not anti-emulation if that's what you're wondering.

@abslutebeginner@masto.es They do indeed. i remember when they arrived and I first turned them on back then. I was impressed, nothing I heard before at the time, of that size, created sound like these :-)
Replying to
@abslutebeginner@masto.es Those are Creative Travelsound speakers, with titanium drivers. These are the first ones. i've had those since early 2000s
Replying to
@macronencer@mastodon.scot It's all right, I fixed it in the video, connected it to the Amiga and had fun with it again. 🙂
The Sy85 working after getting filled with rain water is crazy, but indeed Impressive. It goes to show the old Yamaha equipment, especially the Sy series here and also the DX7, are built like tanks! Then again most things like this from the 80s are.
Your SY85 will probably need a little love and care though because of it's age, then i'm sure it'll keep going for another 30-40 years.

@robleaves@norden.social Yes, that's right, the TX7 doesnt have a cartridge, other than that it's pretty much identical.
Sweet, you got a UB-xa. It's meant to be pretty close from the demos i've watched on it.
I am after the UB-xa D, the desktop version of what you have.
The Matrix 1000.. Don't give me any more ideas haha i've already got a few things on my list which I would love to have. I fear looking into this in case I have one more thing on the list now 😃
Replying to
@makavel_i@mastodon.social You dont have to open it. It's displayed on the boot image, when you boot up without a disk or hdd.
Replying to
@makavel_i@mastodon.social I'm assuming this AmigaSYS 4 is installed on your boot drive. (I need to try AmigaSYS 4 AGA to see what it's like)
Okay, when you reboot your system, immediately press both mouse buttons to get into the early boot menu then select "Boot without startup sequence" It should give you the kickstart screen where it tells you the ROM version.
@makavel_i It's a pleasure, it needed to be said, as somebody from 1983 myself, I feel the same about things. I think we're the last generation who can appreciate how life was before this sh!tshow started.
