Apollo 630 which I believe are being rereleased again (they are not to good...2 died on me)


Where did you hear that?

So basicly you are saying that the only accelerator for A600 (more or less) aren't that good? I'd better get me one of those!

unless you install the MegaChip which is quite expensive.


And the Apollo 630 isn't?

-EDIT-

Btw. I agree with drwho.

Please let me know which these games are so I can check it out. To my knowledege there isn't any games that run on A600 that doesn't want to run on A500.

You are clearly an Amiga 600 fan, and I have no problems with it at all.

However, the cost of upgrading the Amiga 600 to a usable machine with WHDLoad will be more expensive than getting a Amiga 500 with harddrive and fast ram already installed, and which plays those old games right away. I think that even with an accelerator in the Amiga 500 the Amiga 500 setup will be cheaper.

The only thing you mention that can not be connected to an Amiga 500 is a ethernet card; the rest should be fairly simple.

As for upgrades available for both computers; I would bet you that for every Apollo 630 board you find, you will find 5 or 10 harddrive controllers for Amiga 500.
