Geez... posted to the wrong forum first try :oops: ... let's get this in Introductions where it belongs:
Picked up a system from the local for-sale newsgroup the other day, to get back into Amiga systems after 15 years away. I used to sell the A1000 when it first came out ($2995 Canadian!) and the A2000. Had a 1000 for many years.
Just picked up A500 as follows:
A500 rev6a
stock PS
Bigfoot PS
Mega Midget Racer 68030/33 & 68882/33 & Ram expansion (how much? not sure yet. Actually they are 50mhz chips but I'm told the board runs them at 33)
sidecar SupraRAM 500 (4Mb)
sidecar GVP Impact HD+ Series II (4Mb RAM, SCSI, & 50Mb drive)
Supra Drive SCSI case & 500Mb drive
100Mb SCSI ZIP drive
1084S
1010 floppy
A501 RAM/RTC
GO-64! emulator
Perfect Sound digitizer
Canon BJ printer
Amiga original mouse
Aftermarket mouse
Boxes and boxes of original software, manuals, & 1000+ "blank" floppies - it filled the back of my station wagon.
So far I have the A500 booting and showing 1mb CHIP & 8mb FAST available. No HD operating yet though.
I assume I need to find drivers etc for the GVP HD controller before the Amiga will see it. They're in the pile somewhere....
Be ready for questions!
