[Wanted] Amiga A590

[Australia]

Looking for an Amiga 590 Harddrive for an Amiga 500. If you have one you no longer want, I am interested. Fair price paid!

I'd go for a GVP HD8+ Impact Series II rather than an A590 if you can. Sculptured to the same shape as the Amiga, with 8Meg of FastRAM.

At this stage I'd go for either as they both seem as rare as hens teeth!

I know it's not ideal, but maybe this guy will offer reasonable postage?

Be well over $100AUS just in postage, something local would be preferred!

uhh Jimbo - AlexH is in the UK as well.

Let me get someone to look in my storage area this weekend (I've got to keep away from dusty areas, due to having pneumonia a month or so ago) as I'm sure I've got an A590 and I'm in Melbourne.

Send a message via ICQ to Unknown_K
I was looking for a 590 here in the US for quite a while, they were all too expensive when they showed up for sale, so I purchased a 2000HD.

Of course if you can find one the ICD Trifecta was THE best hard drive for the Amiga 500.

There's a guy who sells the GVP jobbies on fleabay - his username is 'airey36'. He was selling them for £35 a piece last time! Maybe an email to him would be in order He may have some going spare that haven't been listed as yet.

I'm pretty sure I've seen some of the ICD one's on eBay america too. Brand new in box... I think those all got sold though

edit: this guy was selling the ICD stuff (still does) on america ebay

EDIT 2 : GVP HD - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Amiga-GVP-seri...QQcmdZViewItem
