[comp.lang.forth] Amiga 500 analog section dies after power surges

Sounds like a great entreprenurial opportunity to me!

If loads of Amiga 500's die after every power surge and the "official"
board swap fix costs $385, then a clever person should be able to figure
out which components in the analog section die and replace just those
components.  You could charge $250 or even $300 and still take away
all the business from the "official" repair shop.

Then you could also sell surge suppressors to the victims.

   The repair of an Amiga 500 wouldn't be complete without including a 
Forth system. Perhaps an Amiga Forth based in a ROM could be added to the
repaired board to make it a really good machine.
