Questions regarding the Amiga computer; software/hardware troubleshooting. If I can't answer a specific question, I will do my best to direct you to someone who can.
Experience in the area
I certainly don't know everything about the Amiga, but having been a user of several different models for about fifteen years, I'm willing to share what I know.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
A great deal of Amiga hardware is old--some more than 20 years now--and as such, is quite likely to fail in one or more ways. Even unused Amiga hardware can be affected just by sheer age/time. Considering the typical lifespan of a computer, the Amiga has done quite well!

2009-08-02 Amiga error CPU Exception:
Hi Mike, Do you get the guru only when you try to run one of the programs you mentioned, or does it also happen at unexpected times? From your description, it sounds like it could be an issue between
2009-07-04 amiga problem:
Hi Andy, If the first time your system booted up by itself without needing a Workbench disk inserted into the floppy disk drive, then it has a hard drive installed, and was--at least at that time--working

2009-04-29 Problem with reading:
Hi Dejan, If you're sure all of your diskettes are good, it's strange indeed that half of them suddenly stopped being readable after the drive swap, though it's possible it may be an alignment problem
