Here's something rarely seen these days.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bodega-Bay-Classic-A500-Expansion-System-RARE-/300655946786?_trksid=p4340.m1374&_trkparms=algo%3DPI.WATCH%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DUCC%26otn%3D15%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5967609779984904218
This is not my auction - Just thought it was interesting...
-
Man, I wanted one of these in the worst way for A500 back in the day. If I still had a functional A500 I'd snatch it up in a heart beat. I already have too many Amigas though.
-
Holy crap! Rocking horse droppings!!!
I've never actually seen one of those things outside of a advert in a magazine. I wonder how many of them exist.
Edit: The BBOAH says it has space for 3 hard drives and has 4 Zorro II slots. Nice way to add a graphics card and networking.
-
If I had the cash, I would buy this puppy - then go looking for an A500 to put it on. Hard to believe this price is even fair (cheap? for now).

For once the sellers statement of RARE! is actually true :)

Did you ever get around to adding a video card and/or a Deneb?

Hi, got one of these picked it up on ebay about four years ago for £60 (I think), powered it up once but have not used it properly yet, will get around to it as soon as the house grows around my collection of collectables, below is a link of Bodega Bay pictures, I also have an A500 030 cpu 33 or 40Mhz 32 meg memory to use in the B/Bay.

Always wanted one of these & in the end after waiting 15 years one turned up with not much competition on the bidding
, they weigh about 10 to 15 pounds and are steel and aluminium with an ATX (I think) power supply (dont have a power lead from the Bay to the Amiga.
:)

I like mine, but they do tend to yellow enthusiasically.
-
same coloring as all Amiga items and third party paraphernalia produced all those years ago, I also have a PC DX4 chip, motherboard, case from all those years ago and that's the same color as the Amiga stuff.

I owned one of these and sold it. Regretted it and bought a second one which I still have. It doesn't get the use it should so I feel guilty holding on to it but I just can't seem to part with it either.
I don't think I ever realized it was considered that rare.

Not yet. The Deneb went into the A4000. However, the BB did get a bigger SCSI hard drive and a CD drive.
