Imperfect refurbished A500s for cheap!

Red, I don't suppose you know what rev Mobo and Rom they have, do you?

[Methuselas]

Oh, it more than does. That's the rom version I want (If I get one, it's strictly for 'legacy' games) Don't know about the rev 5 mobo, though. My 500 had one and it gave me nothing but problems.  :-( It had a 2.04 rom, but it wouldn't use a 1.3 or a 3.1. I went and bought a 3.1 rom and it never worked. Thank god I ended up getting my first A2000 (given to me by a mate of mine who still has his 'Van Halen' 500. He painted that poor 500 to look EXACTLY like Eddie's guitar. Poor thing.)

Actually, I had the trace cut and the wire to the rom, but I also had an AdRam card in it too. I couldn't get ANY kind of accelerator working with it.

That sucked, 'cos I was given an A2000 with a rev6 mobo that didn't like any accelerator either. I spent 200$ on an Apollo 030/50 back in 1997 and NEVER got it to work. Eventually, it was destroyed, along with my A3000 and a bunch of other Amiga items by my ex lady. Well, I wouldn't call her a lady. A friend with benefits was more like it. Then again, she wasn't really even a friend.
 :-(  Sigh....I really miss my A3000.

I NEVER use UPS. They still owe me 300$ for a 2000 they damaged during shipping, so I returned to them. They 'evaluated' it, only to return it 3 months later worse than how I sent it. I couldn't believe it. F*ckers!  :-x
