i'm trying to build complete set but only with manuals no floppy, so on sticker says made in germany is it mean that computers have german manuals back then or that made in germany means nothing so it is possible that unit have english manuals, i think computer have german manuals but im not sure, and if it is german is this set i sent up OK for my computer

I know of only two versions of the box. I've seen the one that was sold in Canada and it has a rainbow type graphic across the box. The other is what is seen here.

Hi!

I had many Amiga 500s over these years and many were with Made in W.Germany sticker underneath but are originally equipped with swedish/finnish keyboards for our market segment, but yours truly is german targetted unit so if I was you I would collect german manuals. Otherwise I don't know if these were all equipped with localized stuff... Good luck with your find.

I personally prefer even older early 500s with embossed C= logo and rev3 mobo for real collector value.

i have one boxed 500+ i don't check down sticker on that unit but i buy english manuals for them as i dont speak german, so for this one maybe it's good to buy german and i will have booth  :)
