Screenshot of Amiga Test Kit reporting 18MB of RAM in the Amiga 3000T (which is the maximum amount you can fit on the mainboard without any expansion cards).

RAM crisis? Not for me! I have 18MB! #Amiga3000T #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Amiga 3000T power supply with the casing removed. It’s a very beefy old school switch mode thingy.

Amiga 3000T power supply. Hefty.

Took me a minute to check everything before I dared powering it on. I am incredibly relieved it just works (at least to the point it shows the Kickstart screen). Phew. #Amiga3000T #A3000T #Amiga #Commodore #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

Amiga 3000T board on my workbench connected to the power supply (in the case that’s upside down to reach the power supply connector). It’s hooked up to a monitor in the background that is displaying the Kickstart 2.0 startup screen.

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! 😍 #Amiga3000T #A3000T #Amiga #Commodore #RetroComputing #VintageComputing

The main reason I put so much work into restoring the #Amiga3000T is to play Roguecraft DX on it, of course.

(Right after playing some Turrican.)

Not today though, I should probably get some sleep before I continue the restoration. ;)

Closeup of the A3000T board with the FPU removed and some UV curable solder mask applied. A UV light is pointed at the solder mask to cure it.

Bottom side of the board with 3 bodge wires going from vias on the FPU to several different vias elsewhere.

More progress on the #Amiga3000T. I think I managed to fix all the missing connections, re-sealed the board and put the FPU back in. Needs some more cleaning up and some double and triple checking and then it’s going to be time for a first smoke test.

Closeup photo of an Amiga 3000T mainboard. The 68882 coprocessor is removed and there are some areas where the solder mask and corrosion have been removed.

The #Amiga3000T restoration continues. Successfully pulled the 68882 FPU and cleaned up the corrosion underneath. Still some traces to fix and vias to bridge but I have high hopes that it’s going to boot at some point. #InTheLabDoingStuff
