So where in the world are all the GVP A530 turbo's lurking??

[Paul_s]

Anyone know of any knocking about currently? Just interested to see how much they're going for nowadays...

[alexh]

They are so overrated. Sell in excess of £200!!

A maximum of 8Mbytes fast RAM for an 030 accelerator!??
Damn big! A500 is big enough and add this and talk about eating desk space.

Gimme a DCE Viper 530 any day

I agree with Alex in that thet are waaaay over rated but man they seem to be the holy grail for A500 owners world wide...last one I saw locally in my parts sold for $250 CDN but on Ebay...man those prices are outrageous

I'd just buy a fully loaded 1200 with 030/040 and keep the rest of the money in the bank

They LOOk awesome though, all flush with the sexy A500 case. I'd get one if I could afford it, although of course an internal accelerator would be better, but with enough room those A530s go hard and look nice.

There is a place for external turbo boards for the A500 too.

Even though A500 is very big, inside it can get really cramped up quick with internal turbo board, CPU-bremse, Kickstart-switch, scandoubler etc. Having HD and turbo externally is nice solution. But A500 is quite big I agree, check out this funny joke I made last year:

Amiga 500 the widest computer ever

Also a 030 gets quite hot even in the A500. I used to have an internal turbo for my A500 which was a 030-25 MHz, it was smoking hot.

I know somebody who has (2)Two of these units, I don't know if they want to sell them or not and what the configs are, but I will check and see if they are for sale or not, but of course it would be for the folks in the US and/or Canada.

They would be cool to have, but no way would I buy one for that kind of money.

I like my A500 as is (512K trapdoor and a 1011 external drive).

Spend the money on a 1200 or 3000 if you must.

Well, I got perfectly working unit with replaced quality fan and few extra harddrives (Seagate Medallist 4.5GB). CPU and FPU both are changed to 50MHz versions. No Yellowish colors And of all; fully loaded 8MB memory.

I`ve got several A500`s so its a perfect match for them. But, money can make things happen , it isnt the life`s center; if anyone wants to buy it just make an offer!
