This will be my games machine...ever since this came out (the hd kit) I've wanted it but never had the money when I was a kid...  Very fun stuff!!

well, I'm going to find out Monday if a 2.5 gig works.. I only had this 84meg lying around..   Its a snap to hook up..just pull off the cpu, plug in controller, plug cpu into controller and hook up the cables.  I only have 1.2 roms so I cant autoboot.. I'm probably going to buy Red's 1.3 ROM he has on ebay as I need it.  But I need a few A500 parts too.. :(

That A500HD was sold on ebay a few days ago.  But I have another, has that 3.2 gig hd (only 2.1 is recognized though!), 2.04 roms.

BoingBoss: The AdIDE works GREAT.  I like it because its compact and it just is pretty cool to have a internal 2.5" hd in a A500. :)

TjLaZer: I hooked up a LED to the AdIDE interface.  I *might* do the floppy LED thing but I dont know...kinda want to put a thin LED throgh the 500's case.


Cyberus: How odd.  I'm having the same problem w/that guy.  I bought 2 AdIDE interfaces not going through ebay and it worked.. he has ALOT of Amiga hardware..so I offered to buy more, so I bought 2 A500's (untested) and 1 A540 ram expansion all for $72 shipped.  Have not recieved them in 1 month.  (If you look at my acct on ebay you'll see I bought 'spam' which is acutally the Amiga stuff.  That way he can get another ebay feedback and so could I).   Also, a friend of mine here in San Antonio bought a AdIDE and has not recieved it either.   I have  filed a complaint w/Paypal to get my money back but I'd rather have the hardware.  I've even called the # he has listed with ebay but nobody answers, it just goes to a mailbox.

Yep..I call at all times of the day.. heck, let me call now, again.

I called on your behalf of you (I mentiond your spam2 auction) and left a message.  As always, nobody answered.
I have also emailed 2 of his auction winners for his contact info.


You want his #

One day I wish someone locally or in Texas would try to rip me off, that would be a good day.

Woah..hold yer horses... looks like I found his phone # other then the one listed above..I called and nobody answered..I'll call later on today to see if its really him, if it is I will post it. LOL
Anyone have his complete address?

It just gets me pissed off.  Why do that anyway??  I mean, I'm guilty of shipping items a little late (although its been a while since I've done that) but I've never NOT shipped something.   I'm almost positive this new # is his.  I threw away the box he sent the AdIDE interfaces in so I dont know his street address.  We'll find him.
