Amiga 1500, + GForce 68040 card & network card on uk ebay
« on: October 15, 2003, 12:58:10 AM »
It is a Commodore A1500, which is a steel-cased desktop computer, with a main board very similar to an Amiga A500, but with expansion slots. The case is good and solid, so you can put a big monitor on top. The power supply is a heavy duty one, so if you can get them, you can add more expansion cards.
It has a G Force 68040 processor card with SCSI interface and a hard disc drive. The card has the maximum memory it can hold fitted, I think. I can't remember how big the hard drive is. In modern terms it is sure to be tiny, but you can add more SCSI devices.
It has an Ariadne II network card in it, so if you know how, you can connect its coaxial connector to your network. You will have to make it work. I have forgotten how, but I think it may need software called Samba. I didn't finish sorting this out.
It has a Syquest 88MByte SCSI drive, which takes removable 88MByte hard disc cartridges. I'm including four cartridges with the machine. I will also be selling some unused cartidges in other auctions.
There are two floppy disc drives.
It has an Amiga keyboard, which says A2000 on it. Commodore didn't bother to make a separate A1500 keyboard badge.

Only thing wrong with this is its a high start off price which might mean it does not sell .I wish i had kept my a1500 instead of giving it away. :-)

What do you think is the going rate for an A1500 nowadays


Not sure it does have an 040 so i would say its worth somewhere over a 100 pound.without the 040 and network card i would say between 50 to 70 pounds.

Even if I were to get one, you have to build up your eBay rating don't you?


Best way is to buy a few cheap easy to afford items like amiga games some of these dont even make 1 pound and postage should  be under than 2 pound . :-)

You have to be kidding, without those Cards it would be worth next to nothing, maybe 10 Pound (here in germany you are very good to make 20 EUR of an


but some machines are worth more in difrent countries in germany they might be more common .Its the same with the a1000 in england they sell for a quite high price but in america i have seen a company on the net selling them working for $30 . :-)
