Should see if the A500 in the shed still works then...


I am looking for a reasonably priced "right-arrow" keycap-post and-spring for my A3000 keyboard.

Software Hut has A500 motherboards here (http://www.softhut.com/cgi-bin/test/Web_store/web_store.cgi?page=catalog/hardware/ps_pcbs/a500_rev6a.html&cart_id=4508601_26150).

@SamuraiCrow

Think you overlooked the "reasonably" part. ;)

I had my eye on this (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5171046303&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT) but it ended up way too high! WTF???

Assuming I can get it to work, I'd send the A500 from my shed to you, and you would just need to cover shipping.

from about 100-102 west longitude somewhere near the 39th parallel

Actually I didn't even look at the price.  I just knew Software Hut had some in stock and ready to ship.  Their units come with a short warranty as well...

Actually, IIRC Software Hut's a500 motherboards are NOS (i.e. not covered in dust, hair, spilled/dried coffee, soda, cat vomit, etc. and reeking of cigarette smoke), so you pay a little (lot) extra for the privilege of being the first to power a clean vintage board to life.

Okay it boots, sounds like the floppy could use a cleaning.

Did play a round of WCLB golf on it. Sound works.

1.3 roms 512K unexpanded stock unit with the ubiquitous OEM mouse.

Hopefully webcam shots to follow

PS: though the unit was purchased secondhand, I am alergic to cats and I do not smoke FYI

OH , I better clarify that the C= 1084SD (daewoo) is not included

Okay Tj, the A500/mouse/psu/23-9 is "in-transit"

Should show up as a black NZXT Guardian PC box
(as that was the only suitable box in my shed)

I sent it with confirmation request
