I have decided to swap my GVP A500 HD8+ populated with 8 MB RAM (2x quite rare 4 MB 30 PIN SIMMs) in good condition (no scratches, cracks etc) with little yellowing for A590 unit in decent condition. I have original PSU for this one that will be included.
my friend yorkie might be interested in this, let me give him a call =)

Just spoke to yorkie4 on the phone, he said he would love to trade with you, however he wont have postage until next Wednesday.
If your are interested I can take some pics =)
That's great - would be awesome to see photos if you could take some.Quote:

BTW I changed description as I've found this PSU so it's now 100% complete.
Just curious to know why you'd want an A590 over a HD8+? They are fugly with less features.
To have 100% official CBM kit?
Well the plan is to build A500 with hardware from 1980s only. That means Rev 5 motherboard, keyboard with red power led and caps lock, old Chinon floppy drive, early version of kick 1.3 and A590 SCSI :) I have another A500 which is monster tower with 060, Picasso IV, USB 2.0, 16 bit sound, WiFi and other nice modern stuff as well but it's kinda nice to have 2 A500s from 2 so different eras...
I'm interested in trade if yorkie4 doesn't :).
Mine is populated with 2mb, rev 7 mobo, rev 6.6 roms complete with psu.
Sorry for the delay chaps, I have been beavering away on some projects and lost track of time.

The unit is fitted with 2MB of FAST RAM, Rev 6 ROM's and an XT (8bit IDE) drive.
I would also be interested. Mine is a bit yellow but it has a nice SCSI drive instead of that fat lump Western Digital drive they came with. That too is also populated with 2Mb of RAM. Also worth pointing out it still has the plastic covering over the 'C=' and 'A590' badges.
