Hello everyone,
I will get rid of another Commodore A590, which comes with
- 2 MB RAM (16x 256k, all 100ns) testet with the RAM-Testdisk which comes with the A590, 18 cycles with 0 errors – see picture/screenshot
- an original Seagate ST-325N, 20 MB SCSI-HDD, freshly formatted, 0 errors on verify command (HDtools v2.0, see screenshot) and the A590 setup disk was copied on dh0
- ROM v6.6 from 1991, which I think should be the lastest from Commodore itself and which works with HDDs above 512 MB (I tested it with a 681 MB Partition using a BlueSCSI)
- Power Supply recapped, with some yellowing, few dents on the edges (see pics) from old cables being wrapped around it. I also permanently fixed the common issue of which probably most of the A590 power supplies suffer. It's the power supply labelled "#2" in the picture.
- A590 case also shows only very minor yellowing
- Both LEDs and the cleaned fan are working
- switch on backside for auto-boot from HDD on/off
Additional:
- Handbook (german)
- Original A590 Setup Disk v1.7, disk working
- Original RAM Test Disk, disk working
Possible upgrades for the 20 MB (as replacement):
- Quantum ProDrive LPS 52 MB SCSI-HDD instead of the original. The HDD also has 0 errors on verify command. For this upgrade I ask additional EUR 25,-
- BlueSCSI clone from ozkano (member here), latest Firmware, 2 GB micro SD Card with Workbench v1.3.3 installed (4 partitions, DH0/DH1 with 249 MB, DH2/DH3 with 681 MB). There is also an extender/adapter from microSD to SDcard included. For this upgrade I ask additional EUR 60,-.
You see screenshots with the BlueSCSI as well and with the 20 and 52 MB HDD plus the results of the verify commands.
Video from the booting available via the cloud service of my employer (an Austrian university)
Price: EUR350,- 320,- with the original and verified 20 MB Seagate ST-325.
Shipping within the EU is EUR 18,- (with tracking), other countries possible if requested. Personal pickup in Vienna obviously preferred.
Payment via regular bank transfer
Thx,
Oliver
