I have been offered in exchange for one of my A500+ on its own, no mouse or psu etc. A complete boxed copy of Vidi Amiga 12 with the hardware and stuff.

I cant decide what to do!!!! Is it worth trading a much loved A500+ for???

HELP!

A500's are quite plentifull, So obtaining another for spares etc.. would be easy enough (and for like only £5 or so) .. But i've not seen many Vidi Amiga's around, So if your a collector of amiga-ish things then yea grab it.

I know its just that this one is my origional first amiga and so there is quite alot of sentimental value

DON'T swap it. If it is your original Amiga and, better yet, it still works, treasure it!

Such an item has no price to me.

i suppose so, I may try to swap him a battered old A600 i have lying around instead

Well, if it's knackered... but if you think you can make it work, again, DONT :P Vidi12s are not that rare actually, and what are you gonna use it for?

The a600 a have works but is knackered, i was a neighbours i had off him after a fire, some of the case is melted to the motherboard!

And i will be using the vidi for capturing stills from videos as my old capture card frok my pc does not work anymore because I got XP Pro and there are no xp drivers for it.

Well, you could have an "Abuse" Amiga system if it works. The machine you can take with you anywhere and kick the shit out of it if necessary. Don't get rid of it just because its handicapped! Would you swap your grandma for a microwave oven if she had her face melted by a fire?

My suggestion is: have a dual-boot PC system and use the PC capture card. You are ging to get faster, better results anyway. I dont think the Vidi captures anything bigger than 320x256
