Hi Rick You might find it difficult to obtain a replacement motherboard. The only ones still available in any quantity are the A1200. This and the A4000(T) were the last design produced by Commodore before its demise. In the intervening time the Amiga has pased through a number of hands all of whom failed to make anything significant happen. The new owners are Amiga fans and are making some radical plans. See http://www.amiga.com/ Some American Sites that might be useful for parts http://www.paxtron.com/ http://www.merlancia.com/ http://www.antigravity.com/ http://www.softhut.com/ You should consider trying to get the machine you have up and running as amigas have been known to survive quite a lot of abuse. However one problem that can be fatal is if the battery leaks and eats its way though the PCB damaging tracks. If you have any stuff around the battery then this needs to be cleaned away as quickly as possible. I hope this has been of some help.
