RobSmithDev | RARE Amiga A590 Rev.6 Repair - Check Out That Serial Number! - Part 1 @RobSmithDev | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
I purchased a rather rare and early model A590 Amiga Hard Drive. It has a really low serial number and is a Revision 6 motherboard. I can't even find a service manual for that version!

In this video we'll take a look at the A590 in detail, and we'll see if we can get it to work, starting with the onboard Fast RAM. In the next video we'll take a look at the hard disk side of the A590.
