I have an A500 running AmigaDOS 1.3 with 1 Mb RAM, 20 Mb hard drive, 1048 monitor, 2400 modem, external 3.5" floppy, minimal software (Microsystems Scribble, Organize, Analyze, Online). Looking for best offer, including shipping from Florida. Any takers?

Michael – What is the make and model hard drive with your system? I might be interested in everything…can you be more specific as to what you're looking for with regard to $$$? I'm currently using a A500 w/20 meg HD, but I'd like to have a backup system. Thanks… Jim

Will it play the old A1000 games like subchase and ARCHON? I loved those games but can't get them to play in my A4000/Flyer

It should. It's still running KS/WB 1.3, so I would guess most games would be compatible (unless you have something *really* old!). I know I've got stuff that doesn't work under AmigaDOS 2.0 on my A3000, but will run on the A500.

Hard drive is a GVP HD8+ 20 Mb (if memory serves correctly….I'm typing this at work and can't check the box). It's the unit that conforms to the shape of the A500 case, has an expansion card slot built in and can also expand RAM to 8 Mb (hence name). The hard drive is practically brand new — less than 2 years old, with relatively limited use during that time. I didn't specify a price, since I wasn't sure what the market rate for this setup is. What do you think would be a fair price?
