GVP HD8+ A500 Hard drive 8mb ram
For sale:
GVP HD8+ A500 Hard drive with 8mb ram - working * (Read all description) Comes with 8mb ram, all ram checks out via test kit and onboard diag Has a 1gig drive in there Also included is the 80mb drive which came with it And a 4gb drive which I never got working via an adapter Copy of the GVP hd install floppy disk No box (Sadly this got ripped and thrown years ago) Comes with original correct psu (See photos) All works I've currently plugged it into my a500 with 3.1 rom just to test it It was in my a500+ which is currently faulty So the hd has workbench 2.0 on it Obviously you could change this to whatever you need Only because I have an a1200 now this is up for sale - used it for years The only problem I can see with it is sonmetimes when you reset the machine... The orange hd stays on solid and it doesn't boot Reset it 1, 2 or 3 times then it kicks in again and starts flashing and boots Sometimes you don't need to multiple reset, it's weird...I never got to the bottom of why it did that, but as I say used it for years like that and it always worked after a reset or two Maybe someone more clever has an idea what might do that? HD? Ram type? Who knows Youtube link to video of reset https://youtube.com/shorts/DOwHgFjrjdE Please see all photo's have some more pics if you wish Many thanks, £250 plus postage I'm Essex, England U.k May consider posting itfurther than mainland U.K Obviously tracking it outside U.K is an issue Also anyone local is welcome to pop round and see it working/do cash whatever Cheers Paul |

As cool as it is I think it is priced outside what is achievable. If you have an A500 and £250 to spend on FastRAM + HDD. You're going to spend it on an ACA500Plus or a PiStorm and have money left over.

the correct price is around 100-120 u$ otherwise nobody is going to buy not even the biggest fans of the old hardware |

There's a cheaper one on eBay in Straya at a much lower price with it's current bid, but shipping to the UK is £156.22
Despite your high asking price, someone may secretly PM you though.... |

LOL ok sure understood
PM me an offer and lets see Thank you all I saw a few sold ones on ebay for all around that but might be a bit ago The u.k does seem to be on the floor at the moment Genuinely didn't realise I was too far out out Agreed modern day stuff can be had cheaper It's only really for the people who wanted one years ago and never could Make us an offer guys we can sort something I'm sure Cheers Paul |

That one in the link was untested (other than power light)
Comes with the wrong psu Mine seems better value now I’m not greedy Make me an offer My 2 young-ish kids deserve a holiday for once lol That’s the reason for recent sales They haven’t had a decent holiday for a good while now I’ve also got some big box amiga games And a load of snes/megadrive, nes and arcade stuff |
