I just received my first item from his eBay store a couple days ago, and have one more on the way! :)

There are no Amiga dealers in the US.  None (unless you count Doomy, from that absurd Facebook post that popped up recently).  Sure, AmigaKit and others ship here, but shipping $ is high and sometimes takes a long time.  So there might be a market for him, if he's interested in doing more than just selling off remainders of old inventory.  ;)

What post??

This showed up a couple weeks ago on a Facebook post.  I screenshot'ed it on my phone.  See Doomy's craigslist message. I guess this means he isn't in jail.  ;)

Am I right in thinking that it is not the Original Softhut but an enthusiast bringing forward it's legacy by selling Softhut items?

No, it's the original owner.  He turned over what was left of his inventory to someone else a year or two ago, but after they didn't have time to sell it he got it back (AFAIK, they're welcome to chime in here if they'd like), and is now selling through his ebay store.

I'm watching that too. You can't have it. ;)

Seriously. It is my impression that it is only the AdRam 560D (and not the AdRam 540 the 560D plugs into.)

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?

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:

(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 say the mem expansion from Softhut and was willing to do what ever it took to snipe that from any other bidders.:roflmao:

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.  ;)

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


You're joking, right? :p
