Amiga 500 plus

[mrmoonlight]

Hi i have bought a Amiga 500 plus off ebay ,it has no upgrades or nothing added ,is there a way of upgrading any thing ,i have not recieved it yet ,but was getting excited and just wondering what i should add if any thing ,i have orderd a clock battery off Amigakit ,i used to own the Amiga 1200 but foolishly let that go a while ago ,so thought i would have another go ,so here we go again ,Brian,

someone made a new 4 or 8Mb inexpensive RAM expansion (CPU mounted).
also an IDE controller for CF card exists.
not sure if there is bundle version, IDE+RAM.
 
 
but A500 is not easily upgradeable, especially CPU, for now.
majsta made some FPGA turbo card for A600, perhaps he can do it for A500 too.

Hi i am very grateful to you for your help ,very best wishes ,Brian.:laugh1:

Old CPU accelerators and sidecar hard drive/RAM expansions are still around, but they can be pricey.

Well what a dissapointment this turned out to be ,the seller had problems with paypal and i had to cancell the 500 plus
the only good thing is that i bought a Amiga 600 off ebay and thats due some time this wekk,hopefuly,Brian.

a600 has some advantages, builtin IDE, small case.
it also has that 4/8Mb fast ram expansion, perfect for whdload

 
Thank you and yes all turned out well.
