I wasted more than 400 EUR to my a500, to bring back from its prehistoric state to an affordable (?) computer. You can say for that price I can get an accelerated 1200. Yes you're right but that will be my second project.
The a500 was my first computer and i wanna se what's the maximum on it.
For example I tried many HDD-s for my a500. (80MB,1GB,1,5GB,4,2GB etc) But only the 80Mb working. Ten years ago I have 600MB hdd which was worked well. Currently everbody said that modern HDDs (40-80GB or more) will not working for my system. I have many 80GB hdds because I have a pc shop, but here I can't find any used 100-900MB unit.
So one day i decided that i can try it. And it worked. So i have an 80GB hdd for my a500 now. The strangest thing is that, it has 2mb cache. My total system memory is 5.5MB. whoever it has 1,6Mb/sec transfer rate, which is not bad from an a500.
