The National Museum Of Computing in the UK hosts a hands-on exhibition celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Commodore Amiga. The exhibit showcases various models, including the Amiga 1000 and 500, allowing for visitor interaction, while some rare models are display-only. A volunteer, Alex Vinall, discusses the challenges of preserving aging hardware and the goal of having one of each Amiga model. The Amiga 1000, which features the historic "Boing Ball demo," demonstrates the mix of playable machines and those reserved for observation due to rarity.
The exhibition features various Amiga models, allowing visitors hands-on interaction, although some rare models like the Amiga 1000 are not for public handling.
Preservation efforts include cleaning aging hardware while maintaining its historical appearance, as seen with the Amiga 1000 which has a yellowed case but operational electronics.
