I just received my first item from his eBay store a couple days ago, and have one more on the way!

Whadja get? :banana:

I would really like to get this but it will prolly go for mad money!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Commodore-Amiga-AdRAM-560D-Factory-Sealed-NEW-A500-/221931395264?hash=item33ac2458c0:g:tAwAAOSwo0JWLpli

Probably should, OTOH, if I manage to win (not likely), and end up with an extra 540, I wouldn't exactly complain.

FWIW, As I recall, the red-dot on the box indicated what was contained in it. Which leads me to believe its only the 560D. But I wouldn't place bets on my recollection.

Yea, I got to looking at that real close earlier today and yes, I do believe that is the 560D only. Bummer! I really need some fast ram for my A500! :hammer:

You can probably score this for a lot cheaper than that board on ebay, and it's likely to be faster, as well:

(get the 4MB board so you don't have to disable the 2MB in your A590.  Not 100% sure but don't you take a performance hit with that card if you have no fast mem on the controller?)

The big reason I want more than the 512K trap door mem (which it already has) is that I did the 2meg mod to the MB and I run the A500 frequently w/o the A590 which leaves me with no fast mem. I play a lot of games off floppies on the A500 for quick miggy satisfaction! The A590 is a pain to get all connected as I have no place to leave the A500 all hooked up (have to put it away each time I use it). That Kipper board looks like the ticket but then, you know me, I'll have to go all hog wild with a CF adapter and Kipper CPU relocation thingy and all that jazz! Rather just get a 4MB trap door expansion. :laugh1: I was all giddy when I saw the mem expansion from Softhut and was willing to do what ever it took to snipe that from any other bidders.:roflmao: Then realized what it was.

Hummm... have you done the power mod to have the A590 draw directly from the A500?  That's what I did with my GVP and it works great.  Would save you from having to run one extra wire, anyway.  

You kids and your floppies!  :lol:

Yes, the fun moment of waiting until there's 15 seconds left on an auction then throwing in a bid... Sometimes ebay brings out the worst in us, I think.  

Might have to start shopping around for another Spectrum card, if I was going to take you up on that swap.  But I'm still holding out on those 97 resistors!  Somewhere, somebody must have a card that they'll sell, LOL.  

Never did the A590 power mod... seems the more I mod & install add-on's the more my $hit blows up! :nervous: Both my A1200's are horked now - so no AGA love till I get another A1200 MB! Old games no longer work on the A2K with Mr. Fusion installed!  I have to hook up my A500 to play a quicky game. Oh woe is me... :lol: (sad bunch we are - complain when we can't drive our Ferrari's). :roflmao:

LOL.... love the floppy quick game! :laugh1:

Mr. Fusion is here safe and sound waiting for you! Oooops's, I think I just heard him say "Bring me home Mikey!"....  Actually I could use the $$ for another A1200 and I "GOTTA" have that GVP Spectrum! :lol: Besides, I have a box of about $1K in A1200 miggy add-on's wasting away ATM that need to be put to use!:)

Mad Money. Yep. You nailed that one. Sometimes I just shake my head at these things.

WTF!!!!!!!   US $354.71!!!!!!!!  :rofl:

Ya know, I'm not real sure but, I think the only thing the guy got for his money was a 2meg stick of ram!
