Hi irishmike,

If this is your first Amiga computer then you do have a lot to learn.  My advice is to get yourself an Amiga 500 Manual from eBay and study it.  Read a chapter every night before going to bed.  That is what I did years ago.  If you need any more help just let me know.  You can also Pmail me.    :-)

Enjoy your Amiga 500. It is a great computer.  Did you know that the Amiga 500 was Commodore's number one selling computer, even out-selling the famous Commodore 64!  The Amiga 500 was the most popular Amiga model, even more popular then the Amiga 2000 in America and the Amiga 1200 in Europe.  ENJOY IT !!!!    :-D

Hi irishmike,

How do I know if it has one of these hard drives inside?


If an Amiga 500 has an internal 2.5" hard disk, it will be in the place of the disk drive (there will not be an internal disk drive).  People that have hard drives inside their Amiga 500 have to use an external DF0: disk drive.

Hi Jope,

I think you need to watch your big mouth!  Only a stupid person will place a hard drive right over the chips.  A smart person will remove the disk drive and install the hard disk there.  Then they will configure an external disk drive to be DF0.  I am NOT lying and I am NOT stupid and I DO KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT !!!!  Many of you THINK that you know what you are talking about when it comes to the Amiga Computers, but, you do not.  This is why a lot of people are happy that I have returned, because I do actually try to help them with their Amiga problems.  Just compare how I answer people to the way most of you answer them and you will see that there is a big difference.  I actually enjoy helping folks with their computer problems.  Many of them have sent me private emails, thanking me for helping them solve their problems.  Many of them have told me that they thought that I am one of the most helpful people on Amiga Org and that I should be an Adviser or Moderator.  I told them that just thanking me was enough.  I will ALWAYS love the Amiga and Atari ST computers and I will continue to offer my advice and vast amount of computer knowledge to those who are wise enough to listen.
