Shot97 | The Death And Resurrection Of My Amiga 500 Hard Drive @Shot97 | Uploaded February 2017 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
My GVP A500+ SCSI hard drive failed on me. This is my story of the emotional journey I went through with that event. I'll show me jump starting the drive back to life so I could backup the files. Then, with a new hard drive installed, the good old Amiga 500 is back like nothing ever happened!
