I thought that half bright was only available on ECS?

Anyway, If you are considering getting an a500 have you considered an a2000? They are basically an a500 in a big box case and with zorro slots. AFAIK they are just as compatible as an a500 and much easier to expand as zorro cards are still on retail sale and the accelerators (if you want one) are more common.
