Still have my perfect, unyellowed original A500 I bought from Software Hut many years ago. :) I recently went through it, replaced the fraying keyboard ground strap, installed a Mega Chip, ECS Denise, 3.1 ROM, and a few other little things. Still working flawless alongside its GVP A530 playmate.

I can't recall selling much Amiga gear over the years. Off the top of my head:

Blizzard 1260: DCE model, factory clocked at 60MHz with a real 60MHz CPU. Sold it about 10 years ago along with a DCE internal scandoubler (made money on both), regretted until I got my hands on an 80MHz Apollo sometime later.

CV64/3D+Scandoubler: Great combo. I was amazed at how it transformed my A2000, but the scandoubler was a PITA to get working correctly in the A2K. Sold it after (finally) experiencing the Picasso IV, and set the money aside to get another PIV. :p No regrets.

Pegasos 2 G3: Sold it after less than a year to fund an (at the time) monster PC that I water cooled and overclocked the shillz out of. I don't miss the Pegasos, just an occasional interest to check out how MorphOS has progressed since the 1.3 days. (Or was it 1.4? I can't recall).

That's all I can think of. I do have a few things I'd like to sell or give away one of these days when i find the time.

On that note - I'm on the hunt for a Picasso IV (sure that will be very difficult to come by), 16MB Fast Zips, a "pregnant" mouse, floppy bay cover, and expansion bay covers/screws - so if anyone wants to part with them or knows where I can get them (I check ebay daily) let me know.


The Picasso IV pops up with some regularity on ebay. If you're patient and can wait until winter, you'll even get a great deal on one (typical holiday season).
