MY STEAMPUNK COMMODORE AMIGA A500 MK1 Build/Mod

Here is my completed Commodore Amiga A500 build/mod, made over the course of a year from found objects and some hand-made parts.

This is a rev 5 Amiga with kickstart 1.3 and 512k ram upgrade.
The original floppy drive was faulty so I have opted for a Gotek drive.

All the original parts are unmodified and are safely stored away should there ever be a need to reassemble the computer back to its original form.

PC USB keyboard and USB mouse adapters were sourced through eBay, along with the Gotek drive.
