The wires in it broke once and I repaired it with chewing gum and a pipe cleaner, after that the thing lasted so well I used it on my Amiga 600 as well. I had it at least 10 years ( '82-'92ish) then gave it to a mate who was still playing his Amiga, only because the port wouldn't fit on the pc ( I think ). The old Comp Pros were the best. Stuart.
