Which "socket" do you plug it into?

It's a "dual prong" so it takes care of "both sockets"

Hey, at least it has a built-in RTC (Real Time Clock), which the stock A500 didn't come with!

It's also got mains power I/O, which all other Amigas lack as a standard feature. I had to add solid state relays on a homebrew Zorro II board for mine.
And talk about a straightforward operating system! It sure looks a lot more intuitive than Intuition!
