  Nice to see that the article I wrote 6 years ago was useful to someone 😎Keep up the great videos, I watch every one of them especially the Saturday main channel one is a must see for me. Sometimes I learn a new diag trick that I use on my retro repair workbench, thanks Adrian!

  I love this low-level repair stuff!  You've got a knack of honing-in on the problem, and fixing it elegantly.  This was fun to watch.  More Amiga stuff?  Yes please!

  Congratulations! You have arguably the best amiga out there! The Amiga 3000 has the best form-factor of any amiga, has the most versatility and can use most of the same CPU boards the A4000 can use. It was frustrating seeing you fight with the system over the need of the daughterboard. To the best of my recollection, I never saw an Amiga 3000 without any other boards inside it. They always had a ramboard, a graphics board an ethernet board, an I-O board, a controller card, or other boards in the computer. You&apos;d never use an A3000 without the daughterboard installed, EXCEPT for the very specific case of repairing one. <br><br>I&apos;ve seen a lot of A3000 repair videos, but this repair video goes into more detail regarding the flicker fixer circuitry, than any other videos. Top notch repair video. I hope you keep and use that A3000 for many years...

  4bit field ram is so sensitive if you breathe in the wrong direction at 6pm it goes bad and VC470 always rots out, 2-7PF trimmer cap the blue one

  I don&apos;t know if this is a bad thing to say or not, but I put your videos on when I go to sleep

  Great job, getting the Amiga 3000 up and running. Amiga Unix, next? ;)

  SWEET SWEET VICTORY! &nbsp;Wow that was quite a journey. &nbsp;Amazing work! &nbsp;I love how the chips have human names... it seems Zorro and Gary might have had some relationship issues with kickstart v2... &nbsp;nice to see you could help them patch things up!

  I love the variety Adrian but for me you can&apos;t do enough Amiga content, I&apos;ll take all that you can put out. Thanks for another enjoyable one.

  Kudos for repairing the Amiga 3000 and keeping it from winding up in a e-waste bin.
