Genuine Microprose Amiga's for sale?

I thought the Overdrive just plugged into the PCMCIA slot.  The seller says he can't see how it would attach, so is something missing?

Dark picture but seems to have the plug part there, just to plug in.

Ah, I see it!  I was expecting a white connector, not a black one.  

It doesn't fill me with confidence that the seller can place the Overdrive right next to the PCMCIA port and cannot work out that you connect them by just sliding the two together.  I guess there is no guarantee that there is a physical hard drive in the Overdrive enclose or inside the A1200.

Yup - I still have what's left of mine, which was the first hard drive I owned and cost about £1 per megabyte.

I had a friend with one.  Cost-wise, wasn't it was cheaper than adding an internal 2.5" drive because it used standard 3.5" drives (which were also faster)?  So bang-for-buck, if you were looking at 120MB or above then this thing would save you a few quid.
