Hey there!
Well then, I'm The Dhel from Germany. I grew up with the Amiga, since my older brother and sister owned one!
I still have have my brother's A500, with Kickstart 1.2 and a red power LED. I recently had then restored out- and inside, and upgraded them with an ACA500plus and a GOTEK drive. I'll post pictures of them later, too
I'm glad to be here in the company of other fellow Amiga owners and fans

Hello, good sir! Glad to see you here! Pull up a chair; I'll make some coffee!
I pretty much figured you were an Amiga guy from Twitter! If the subject came up, your ears perked up and you got pretty excited!

Very nice! So nice to see the Gotek in its own enclosure rather than pushed into the original floppy space. Sometimes that can look clean, but oftentimes it seems to be a bit of a hack job.
I love your solution as a secondary drive. Do you ever run into issues with really old software that is seeking DF0: but your files are in DF1:?

Nope, since i setup my ACA500plus so it automatically makes the GOTEK DF0:

Welcome - one of my favourite games came from Germany: Settlers.
Your desk is tidier than mine, which has only one Amiga on it

I keep my desk clean at all times, my dear
Cleanliness is a top priority for me
