UPDATE III: Post closed. I got one here from FeedingDragon so thanks to him.
UPDATE II: I have a deal pending. Consider this post on hold until that deal is complete and I have a chance to test the A500 and confirm it will meet my needs. Thx
UPDATE: Decided that NTSC isn't a necessity like the old days. PAL will be fine too.
I'm going to be building a few of Terrible Fire's TF530 68030+68882+SRAM+IDE accelerators but unfortunately my Amiga 500 was stolen! (Actually it's worse than that. All my Amiga's were stolen including my highly modded A3000T/040, A4000D, A2500HD, but that's a sad tale for another place and time).
SOOOoooo, right now I'm SOL as far as having an Amiga to use and more importantly to test the TF530's with. I'm also a little strapped for cash so I only want a very basic A500.
So here's what I'm looking for:
- Amiga 500 NTSC or PAL - Bare, basic system. Must be fully working. No mods necessary, but not turned down as long as they're not going to interfere with the TF530.
- A500 power brick. doesn't have to be working, but I need it if it doesn't so I can reuse the plug/cable to do the ATX conversion.
Would be nice options:
- Amiga mouse or compatible
- A501 trapdoor 512K RAM expansion
I'd prefer to deal with someone in Canada first to avoid any high shipping costs or customs hassles and fees. US second. Others third.
I prefer PayPal for payment but may discuss other options, including trades.
Potential Trade items.
- Tested and working TF530 (yes, you'd have to send the Amiga first for me to test with)
- Untested but assembled TF530 (no guarantees, you'd have to fix any soldering errors yourself, but I'd do my best to check all pins for solder bridges by microscope before sending)
- TF530 parts kit plus $
- ???
Will update this post if I come up with other trade items.
