Software Hut is back !!!

[apsturk]

As someone else posted he (SoftHut) is just selling what is left of inventory.  This is all spelled out on the website they setup.  If I could just remember what that was.  I think softhut.us

Like a few before you. Reading is not at the top of your list or you are just saying along with some others they have read it. Let me copy and past what the site does say. This is in the 2nd paragraph. It's not hidden or some secret only I know about.


And there are some big plans for the future beyond just this inventory, so stay tuned.


Just selling what is left of inventory and this is spelled out. I suggest you re-read what the web site says.

I  see that as a good thing. Even this has water thrown on it by a number of people on this site. It's seems like any good news is met with a number of people dumping bad vibes all over it. I have to wonder why some people are even on this site.

good new is bad
Bad news is bad
great news is bad

@apsturk,

Yay, another person that has some memory retention!

@ apsturk

be great to have one Amiga shop open again on this side of the pond even though I would prefer to have it a wee bit north:)

Had totally forgotten about that tin foil hat wearing con artist.
 
 Still that video was our version of being rick rolled for awhile

I don't consider being realistic as dumping bad vibes. If they didn't have enough business to keep the old store going how is an eBay store going to improve anything?

Why did Mech set up his own site store?

"To Avoid The Insane Ebay Fees".

Now, that's what I call memory retention. :razz:

The pictures seem to show a box with both the 540 & 560D.  The auction title and description state just 560D.  But then the "about this auction" provides a link to both boards.  It is more than a bit confusing, maybe ask the seller?

Probably should, OTOH, if I manage to win (not likely), and end up with an extra 540, I wouldn't exactly complain.

FWIW, As I recall, the red-dot on the box indicated what was contained in it. Which leads me to believe its only the 560D. But I wouldn't place bets on my recollection.

Yea, I got to looking at that real close earlier today and yes, I do believe that is the 560D only. Bummer! I really need some fast ram for my A500! :hammer:

You can probably score this for a lot cheaper than that board on ebay, and it's likely to be faster, as well:

http://www.kipper2k.com/a500fastmem.html

(get the 4MB board so you don't have to disable the 2MB in your A590.  Not 100% sure but don't you take a performance hit with that card if you have no fast mem on the controller?)

The big reason I want more than the 512K trap door mem (which it already has) is that I did the 2meg mod to the MB and I run the A500 frequently w/o the A590 which leaves me with no fast mem. I play a lot of games off floppies on the A500 for quick miggy satisfaction! The A590 is a pain to get all connected as I have no place to leave the A500 all hooked up (have to put it away each time I use it). That Kipper board looks like the ticket but then, you know me, I'll have to go all hog wild with a CF adapter and Kipper CPU relocation thingy and all that jazz! Rather just get a 4MB trap door expansion. :laugh1: I was all giddy when I saw the mem expansion from Softhut and was willing to do what ever it took to snipe that from any other bidders.:roflmao: Then realized what it was.

Hummm... have you done the power mod to have the A590 draw directly from the A500?  That's what I did with my GVP and it works great.  Would save you from having to run one extra wire, anyway.  

You kids and your floppies!  :lol:

Yes, the fun moment of waiting until there's 15 seconds left on an auction then throwing in a bid... Sometimes ebay brings out the worst in us, I think.  

Might have to start shopping around for another Spectrum card, if I was going to take you up on that swap.  But I'm still holding out on those 97 resistors!  Somewhere, somebody must have a card that they'll sell, LOL.

Never did the A590 power mod... seems the more I mod & install add-on's the more my $hit blows up! :nervous: Both my A1200's are horked now - so no AGA love till I get another A1200 MB! Old games no longer work on the A2K with Mr. Fusion installed!  I have to hook up my A500 to play a quicky game. Oh woe is me... :lol: (sad bunch we are - complain when we can't drive our Ferrari's). :roflmao:

LOL.... love the floppy quick game! :laugh1:

Mr. Fusion is here safe and sound waiting for you! Oooops's, I think I just heard him say "Bring me home Mikey!"....  Actually I could use the $$ for another A1200 and I "GOTTA" have that GVP Spectrum! :lol: Besides, I have a box of about $1K in A1200 miggy add-on's wasting away ATM that need to be put to use!:)

Can't... look... away... help!

I would really like to get this but it will prolly go for mad money!

Mad Money. Yep. You nailed that one. Sometimes I just shake my head at these things.

WTF!!!!!!!   US $354.71!!!!!!!!  :rofl:

Ya know, I'm not real sure but, I think the only thing the guy got for his money was a 2meg stick of ram!

Yeah that is just for the 560D with 2 megs of ram on it.  Further it is only useful if you already have an AdRam540.

I have a AdRam540 (got it in a bit box of random amiga stuff (I don't have the 560D)).  This is a very odd memory expansion.  

You can have up to 2 megs of (chip+slow ram) that is half a meg of chip + 1.5 megs of slow ram (if you have a 8372a) or almost two megs of slow ram without a fat agnus.  Additionally on the 540 you can add 2 meg of fast ram that is the speed of slow ram and does not autoconfigure (you need a program to mount this memory).

The A560D would give you 2 more megs of non-autoconfigurable memory that appears to be fast ram but the speed of slow ram.

With my Adram540 I get 1.5 meg of slow ram, 0.5 megs chip (plus 0.5 of motherboard chip) and 2megs of "slow" fast ram that requires a startup-sequence program.  

I use it with an A570 as memory where memory expansions are rare.

My biggest problem with this ram is the speed, you don't get the fast ram boost from it like edge connector ram. additionally I don't like that some of the memory does not autoconfigure.

I understand why people would have wanted one back in the day up to 4 meg of memory (or 6 megs with the 560D) all in your trapdoor expansion.  Additionally other expansion were very expensive back in the day.

Didn't Softhut used to sell Amiga 4000T's. I wonder if they still have any of these in stock.
