Hi

Always worth buying rogue 500s. You never know ...

By the way meet Graham..

He is an A1500 that became an A1200.. seriously. Same kind of auction. I didn`t believe it either at first.

What if the guy did upgrade to a 1200 and kept it in the 500 box... Then later put his 500 back in the box. There are a million reasons... What the guy really is selling is an A500 with a box that has been written on.

Still think its worth buying to find out.

Hi

Thanks for the heads up. Certainly worth it.

Hi

Back from London and with the Viper 520 CD

Turns out this was the property of an old computer
geek who died recently. The wife was going to bin
it, but Mike, the guy I met suggested he put it on
Ebay. He had no idea what it was and didn`t put
the writing on the box. He also gave me two boxes
of computer bits and another PC. Great guy.

Viper 520 CD

Compact board with a mounting bay for an
internal 2.5" hard drive.
