Don't know for sure but the best I can think of is the Goodwill Computer Store over on Delta Oaks or the NextStep shop.
Agree with the other respondent; that Goodwill store is the best one I've ever been to! Hopefully you also got an A520 modulator with the computer, else you might be limited to the black-and-white composite video signal out the computer's RCA jack. Tough/expensive to find a display compatible with the 15KHz RGB signal out the 23-pin connector.
@thouartfrugal luckily it did in-fact come with an A520 modulator! Saves me a lot of potential headache.
I gotta ask, what are you doing with such an ancient relic? Whatever it is, sounds like a fun project.
@kescusay well, I have a few ideas:
- The Amiga came with a bunch of floppies, including some which were magazine demo disks, some of which haven't been archived anywhere online from what I can tell so I'm definitely going to back those up.
- Play some of the games that came with it, such as SimCity and the port of Dragon's Lair II.
- Make some music with ProTracker.
- I might actually try to write a game for it since there's a lot of documentation specifically about C programming for it and that's something I have a lot of experience in.
Those are all awesome ideas, especially the game development!
Goodwill, NextStep, or Saint Vincent de Paul. You could also asking the people at Video Game Headquarters for advice on where to find one. They've been able to help me track down a variety of random niche gaming stuff.
