Hello Everybody

You may of seen me buy an Amiga 500 on Ebay recently, well this isn't that one, this is the one I bought in 2016 which already had a Gotek Drive upgrade. However with it having issues over the last Year, I decided it was time to fix that with a new Upgrade.

I have never attempted a Gotek Drive Installation before, and not having much experience with fixing stuff, I decided to give it a go. I want to make one thing perfectly clear, ***THIS IS NOT A HOW TO VIDEO***, its just how I did it, but problems did arise along the way.

I tried my best and I bought a few other things too, some I did successfully, but in the end, help was needed and a Legend helped me out.

I've tried to make the Video interesting like I would do with Vlog Videos, so join me on this tough task. But I am no expert, but I'd certainly give it a try.

If you enjoyed the Video, please leave a Like and Comment.

Huge thank you to my amazing Patreon support and a huge thank you to Chris from Gadgetuk164 for offering to help me.
