Got A603 and 37.350 ROM chip for my A600.
Really did wonders in transforming a floppy, memory restricted machine into a comfortable hard drive machine

Jope · 24 October 2010, 13:07

Dismantled two old Xyplex routers I found in a dumpster to uncover a total of 8MB in 4Mx4 ZIPs and 2MB in 256kx4 ZIPs. And a couple of 020 chips.

Now my SupraRAM 500RX is fully populated with chips to spare. :-D

The routers also had Sony MPF-420-1 3.5" drives in them, which can be jumpered for Amiga compatibility.

Seems Computolio's instructions were incomplete. I had to cut a trace and add a wire:

Zip Iomega Drive for 4 EUR

mikele · 26 October 2010, 14:20

Powerbook G3 Wallstreet II (PDQ) for an equivalent of 10 euro.
I just needed it as keyboard donor for my old Powerbook G3, turned out it came with sth extra...faster cpu - G3@300 Mhz (vs my 266 mhz one). Managed to play fluently full screen divx movie on that thing! Runs some Mame and PSX emulators (Connectix VGS) on top of the OS9. MS Office 98 and 2001 seem snappier than any Open/Neo Office on my G4@867 mhz running OSX. As I see in old magazines' adds they used to cost over $3000 and were advertised as Maserati of portable computers. Amazing how good quality products still last after all these years!

I showed the deal to several people at work and the Orange users went to the store at lunch time and bought them for around £79 with their phone-funds.

As an O2 user I could get nothing (£109) and plus I'd have to pay £1.50 to get it unlocked. So I sat on the fence while I find some kind Orange user to buy me one.

I wish I was on commission, I've shown quite a few peeps that deal and they've gone straight out and bought it.

Why doesn't that surprise me?

Visited Dad who was clearing out the back room on the weekend. Forget he had all this Amiga stuff.

So I am now in possession of 1 x A1200 in custom tower, 1 x A1200 Desktop, 5 x A1200 Motherboards and lots of various bits and pieces, 4 x 1084s Monitors, whole heap of various stuff in boxes (still to go through but usual drives, keyboards, case parts etc etc), Amiga format magazines going right through to the last edition plus a couple of boxes of CDs and Floppies.

Man did the car scrap the driveway on the way out but all in all Happy Days.
