The A500+ amazingly still works, despite the warranty seal being intact. I'll have to split it soon though, since I want the battery out ASAP) although the floppy drive appears to be dead (Meh, easily replaced) -- Shedloads of software that I'll have to dig through (That reminds me, I owe Harrison all the boxes for ClassicAmiga)
Of course, that's all well-and-good, but check this badboy out!

Now that's what I'm talking about! A boxed GVP A530? VERY NICE! (OK, so this isn't mine to keep, but I've been loaned it to play with, more-or-less indefinitely) :woot::woot::woot:
well andy that a nice mate you have
I just hauled through my door ...
an A3000T unit, Almost broke my back, damm are those things HEAVY.
I will post up pictures later. Right now, the only things I know for sure on the unit:
It is mostly stock, no CD rom drive.
It has 2 floppy drives, both can format disks...
It had 2 Hard drives in it, 1 Is a humongous 600 Meg rive, but physically it takes up the WHOLE drive bay area up at the front -middle part of the tower ( guess that would be the size of 2-5 1/4 bays..
I was given the unit, and the old owner went through it with me this afternoon, it had not been booted since about 92, and the key and lock had to be replaced, luckily he had the A3000 Service manual with it.
The battery is good, but I will be changing it right away.
It has a full 16 Megs of Ram.
What is unusual to a nob like me, is it has the original 2.xx roms, but it soft kicks into OS 3.1
I am very hesitant to wipe the drives, as it is full of "stuff" and will take me hours to go through.
One thing was cool, is when he said his monitor died long ago, so I just hooked up his IBM 17 inch Flat pannel to it. He swore it will never work, and it worked great.
There is no Accelerator card, and I do not know what Buster revision it is yet, but I am assuming it is just a plain "7" in it.
Words cannot describe what I feel right now, the best of all it was free.
It just is so HEAVY.........
Nice one, thats quite a machine! The LCD probably works becuase the A3000 has a built in scan doubler IIRC =)
Looking forward to the pics, I wouldn't wipe the HDD's as you say in case there are any rare demo's or anything on them, instead preserve them as they are and replace with CF-IDE or modern HDD's.
Enjoy, this should be a great project :thumbsup:
Steve.
You lucky son of a gun, i'd kill for an A530. :ninja:
I got a Philips NMS-8250 MSX2 computer yesterday. The case reminds me of a VCR and, to some extent, of the CDTV. An in-depth review with more pictures will be up later.
You know you don't want that A530 and that you want to donate it to ME for FREE don't you !?! :lol:Quote:
