FS: Amiga 500+ with the lot!

[djos]

Oh one more thing, the 1mb expansion board shown in the pics has been replaced with a new expansion board as it was faulty, the new board is a prototype 1MB/2MB board I was working on with TomThul - it can also have a lithium battery installed to make a RAD disk.

It's currently set to 1mb mode (via jumpers) as we never got the 2mb mode working - the idea was to use the 2mb Agnus chips from a3000's in Rev6a boards to get 2mb chip-ram. The idea was that you would disable to onboard 512k ram and apply the trapdoor chip-mem mod but the Rev6a boards could never see the extra 1mb ram for some reason.

The board works 100% perfectly as a 1mb expansion tho.

Thanks for kind words, I'd happily keep it but apparently I don't "need two a500's" - failing to see the logic of this myself!

I thought it wasn't so much "need" as it is "want" with this hobby:laugh1:

It's a really cool machine you got there. A question; where do you find this IDE68k? I've been trying to find a good HDD solution for A500 but all I have seen involves expansions plugged into the side. An internal solution would be much appreciated! Can you boot from the CF card?

[djos]

Very true.

MKL over at amibay makes them and as long as you have KS2.05 or higher they are fully bootable - there is also a scsi.device patch for KS1.3 on aminet for those into making their own Roms and want to boot wb1.3 from hdd.

The ide68k does need some mainboard soldering, in the pic I posted of the cap mod you can see two pins sticking up from next to the sidecar edge connector that are required for it to fully emulate a600 "gayle" IDE.

Bump.

Tentatively sold to spaceman73

Gratz on the sale! Very nice 500+ with envious expansions

All it needs now is an AdSpeed module

Was a shame to sell it but im happy it's gone to another local Amiga enthusiast.
