WTB: Accelerator for A500

[giZmo350]

Welcome to the forum!

Your chances of finding either a Kipper2k adapter or an Early ACA500 cheap, or even at all on eBay, are pretty slim. Both of these pieces of hardware are keepers for most people. Unless maybe someone here has one to sell directly after reading your request.

This new external adapter from Amedia is both reasonable in price for the features and is an "all in one" solution for an A500. I realize it's not an internal solution but neither is an ACA500. It sure does overcome most of the difficulties of expanding an A500 though!

I will say that the ACA500 is awesome for it's features and the price  though. I like the fact that is holds a copy of OS3.1 in ROM ready to  install at any time. You can still buy (the plus model) from iComp directly for $155.00.

Welcome and good luck with your hunt!

True that! With Amiga hardware, sometimes you just have to play the waiting game. Maybe set up a search on eBay with an email alert?

Alright Acill!

LOL.... I've been piecing my A2K for almost 10 years! :lol:

At least in our hobby you can take 10 years to build a machine and it's not out-of-date when it's finally done

RIGHT! Not only is it not out-of-date, it's tripled in value! :roflmao:
