Need a hard drive for my A500!
« on: January 12, 2010, 05:36:06 AM »
Hey now I finally have my A500 set up again I really want to get a sidecar hard drive with some RAM like the GVP or Supra.   I was hoping to not pay more than $100 U.S. for it but I may have to revise that...if you have one or see one for sale let me know, thanks.

You'd have to have REALLY good luck to find an external HD/RAM expansion for those prices online, so keep an eye out in local trading posts and newspapers.

For a brand new solution, you could contact the maker of these boards and see if he's willing to make and sell you one. It would be really handy if he'd make a whole run of them, I'd certainly get a few for my A500s if I could afford them.

Good luck!
