Please subscribe, enjoy and share our journey in celebrating all things vintage and retro computing.

Video Description

The Commodore Amiga is a computer close to the hearts of many retro computer fans, but as time goes on the Amigas are dying, not least because of the dreaded Varta battery leak so common in the A500+. Today we build the worlds newest Amiga. A new PCB, a new case and new upgrades will all come together to create my ultimate new Amiga. Today we test drive the Vampire upgraded machine and see what it's capable of. ● Support RMC Time is the most valuable thing we have.
