Expertise
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.

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!

Hi Tim, I'm not familiar with Monkey Island, but were you able to save game data to the same disk and drive before? If you can save other data (files, etc.) with the same disk drive via Workbench, then
2011-07-16 Amiga600HD sound corruption:
Hi James, It's possible that the Paula chip (which handles sound) is faulty, though all the custom chips on the A600's motherboard are wave-soldered directly, not socketed, so this cannot be replaced
2011-06-11 A600 not loading anything:
Hi Andy, I'm not aware of any instances in the past when drives have messed up diskettes, so you don't need to worry about that. I think it's just a matter of the drive itself going bad and needing

2011-06-07 amiga a600 loading problem:
Hi Steven, Workbench is not a game--it contains the operating system files needed to boot up your Amiga if you don't have a hard drive connected. If, after Workbench is loaded, you put the game disk
