A1000 sidecar desirable?
« on: February 20, 2006, 04:28:59 PM »
Hi, I have an old Amiga 1000 "Sidecar" 1060 manufactured by Commodore.  This was a PC expansion that connected to the side-port of the A1000.

http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=327

Mines got a low serial number (00960) or something.

I've read it can also be used as a regular external hard drive for the Amiga.  

I had been planning to keep it, but I don't really use it (I don't have a working A1000 to use it with), so I was thinking of Ebaying it.  However, if there is no collector interest, I'd rather just keep it....

What do you think?  Is there an interest in this stuff on Ebay....seems A1000 stuff is going up in price lately among collectors.

Yes, this is one heavy bugger.  Very cool but heavy.  I did some Usenet searching and in 2000 someone sold one of these for $95 US plus shipping.  So I guess they have become desirable.

Do you have the original Janus disks that came with the sidecar?  I've searched for days and cannot find them anywhere on the 'net.
