Description: My A500, the first and rare version according to the (in)famous Doomaster which I don't doubt What makes this A500 model differ from the later one's is that it has a square C= logo carved into the case and the left Amiga key has a commodore logo, the power light is red and finally the keyboard keys has a different "soft touch" compared to later A500's and Made in Germany...a word Doomy would love to hear Picture Stats: Views: 2458 Filesize: 146.63kB Height: 768 Width: 1024 Posted by: Amigaz at July 29, 2006, 04:38:43 PM Image Linking Codes

boing4000 Posts:222 ![]() | May 17, 2008, 02:55:12 PM My first A500 Rev.5 also has this kind of keyboard (german one) with green drive and red power LED that could turn 100% off without dimming! also it has a C= key on the left. but the C= logo was a labeled one. I still have it and its working fine after so many years ![]() all later A500 had the newer keyboard (green power and yellow drive) with both Amiga keys and dimmed power LED |

ami_junki Posts:267 | January 16, 2008, 07:24:19 AM My Amiga 500+ had a softer keyboard than the earlier models ... I wonder if that model came out first in Germany? |
AMC258 Posts:877 ![]() | February 02, 2007, 03:24:31 AM Every A500 I've had (lots) had the moulded C= logo and red Power LEDs with green floppy LEDs. I do have an A2000 which has a silver C= sticker, and a green power light and yellow floppy light. All my other 2000s are like my 500s. |

adolescent Posts:3056 | August 02, 2006, 03:11:32 AM I thought they usually had a sticker on the NA models. Is the raised C= logo under the sticker? I have never seen one without (unless it was the rectangle sticker...) |
Ilwrath Posts:2199 | August 01, 2006, 03:43:10 PM The C= pressed logo on the case isn't that rare for North America. Most of the A500s that came with AmigaDOS 1.2 (and rev 5 motherboard and before) had that case and red power LED. The C= key instead of a L-Amiga key is something you don't see 'round these parts, though. ;-) In fact, the only time I EVER saw one was on an A500 a friend of mine brought over from Poland. |
PaSha Posts:537 ![]() | July 30, 2006, 12:11:57 PM My brother used to have one of these as well, presumably one of Norways first A500s (he bought it used, though) since it had a German keyboard. IMHO having a C= key and a single Amiga key makes more sense than two Amiga keys. -Paul EDIT: It seems to be in a pretty good (ie non-yellow) condition as well, congratulations! |
