    Also this is undoubtedly a hangover from the Amiga - the floppy disk clicks away unless a disk is inserted!

    Quite literally just a video of the floppy drive hooked up to the Casablanca- the activity light flashes and the drive clicks as it seeks for a non-existent disk

    The first step is going to be to write some new install disks for it, just to make sure the entire thing does work as expected. Thankfully the hackspace has a greaseweazle I can use.

    Step after that is going to be to try and figure out how to add a clockport to this thing, before finally adding an A314 for some RTG graphics

    Orrrrr I could just load the disk image that Adrian (from Adrian’s Digital Basement) uploaded to the internet archive.

    Lobbed onto a bluescsi, and it booted right away!

    A rather 90s tastic looking graphical interface, with several large buttons. There’s also a very cryptic error message of “Ion auf eine Kugel”

    What does “Ion auf eine Kugel” even mean??

    Interestingly enough, the Casablanca ROM still has the retina drivers in it for an actual graphics card!
