Famous Amiga 500 black tower - The resurrection

[Jeff]

I may still have some of my old A500T hand made parts. I might be interested in the borked GVP 030 - 286 boards. I have a Working Mtec 68020/4 meg board right here. I also have some other stuff as I am cleaning up and sorting right now.

No 030+ boards though. Let me know if you want to work out a swap of some sort.

This would be to cool!

Keep us posted.

[Jeff]

P.S. for all I know the builder of this orginally made it so you had to hit the turbo button for it to work with the accelerator so he could run old floppy games on the original cpu. I don't know... But we'll find out tomorrow...

That sure does make sense. That's probably how I would have set it up. I'll send you the Mtec 020 board if your 030 doesn't work and you can try that.

[Jeff]

I'll try and get email a picture to you of what the Mtec 020 board looks like installed in my Amiga 1000. It does NOT have an HD controller on it though, and it uses the 68000 cpu socket to install. Not sure if this is a problem not. I also have a custom One-Off 90 degree Amiga 500T expansion adapter around here (modified from a Slingshot type product by me).  We could go to PM with this.

Jeff, I could really use the adapter and the mtec.

It appears that with some work, I can get to the 68000 socket without ripping this whole beast apart.  Then I think (hope) I could get an install an add ide and be good to go...

This would probably be the most economical way to get her going. The machine has 3.1 roms already. I'll need some black blank plastic slots because the scsi tape drive and cdrom will be removed.

Indivision ecs would be nice eventually, so I could use a black flat screen with this...

Anybody need a scsi tape drive, hard drive and cdrom?

I will pm you...

PM received and replied to. I have my hands on the Mtec board, looking for my old A500T stuff. I'll send it all along to you in the box. I'm not going to build another at this point in the game. We'll get yours running instead.  I can probably supply another A500MB too if needed.

Dated 8-18 I guess I got ****'ed EXACTLY on the date of my birthday. Anyone care to help me?

@Haywirepc

I sent the Mtec 68020 board with 4 megs of ram working. Were you going to get around to shipping out my GVP 530 board as we agreed? The Mtec board was probably worth $100.00 or so. I could have just held on to it or listed it on Ebay. I was trying to help someone out with a project.

My shipping address WAS sent to you several times, and it was ATTACHED to the package that you received.

Thanks,
-Jeff

@Amigadave

I respect your "quiet authority". How is it that you are so quick to "call me out" in private if one of my posts does not fit with your opinions, yet you completely ignore my post above^^^

How about helping me out a little instead. I have actually been a member here longer than you have, how about a little RESPECT! This guy basically screwed me on $100.00 trade right here in front of the group and you are helping him out some more?

How are you helping the Amiga community? indeed
