Ultimate A500?
« on: March 08, 2006, 04:53:39 PM »
Well, I'm almost finished building my ultimate A4000, will post specs later after everything is installed and running, and now I would like to build my ultimate A500.  What advice can you give on setting up an A500 that is still very compatible with old Amiga games but is very expanded.  

If any of you have built your ulitimate A500 please post those specs too so I can have a benchmark to go by.

Thanks!

Wow, mr_a500 that is one sweet setup!  How do you do with old Amiga games or is that something you mess with?

Was/Is the Viper an internal trapdoor expansion?  How did you get all that inside the A500?  I mean, wow!  Very impressive.

The A500 was the very first Amiga I had.  I had always wanted an A1000 and I recently acquired a very nice one off Ebay.  I also got my A4000 setup pretty much complete  but now I want to go back to my A500 roots.

Sorry mr_a500...please don't kill him for it.  Besides you have one sweet A500 setup.  I looked at some of your screenshots and it is very sweet!

I'll have a hard time getting an A500 up to your level but I'll keep you informed of my progress.  Once I start, that is.
