This is the 340 MB 2.5" IDE hard disk from my Amiga 1200, bought in 1995. A few years ago, I found I could connect it to a modern PC using this USB adaptor and dump the contents. Now it doesn't spin up, even with external power. Other IDE drives work with this. Drive works in an Amiga. Infuriating.

Looking deeper inside my original (and still minty) A1200, there's still no sign at all of capacitor leakage. @morefunmakingit.bsky.social posted a video that made me think I should recap it anyway, so I ordered a set from Amiga Kit. They might arrive sometime before the heat death of the universe.

Continuing the C64 theme, here is another darling, "Murder on the Mississippi: The Adventures of Sir Charles Foxworth" (Activision, 1986).

Wanted to test out an old LCD in the electronics scrap. Not perfect, but I’m quite impressed with what you can do with custom character sets.
