If they are caught early enough, then restoring them is like having a new
machine. Luckly mine was only minor, but enough to cause issues. The mb

There is nothing wrong with running some emulation system's. I've got
Amithlon runnin on one, and if you saw my recent post in the retro area.
I announced the relase of AmiDeb, a bare linux system running FS-UAE.

There's no cost, as I already own one. Purchased many years ago (At least
8+ years ago, so long before the crazy prices they go for now)....
