I upgraded my A500 about 6 months ago, so these prices may be a bit high...

	Supra SCSI controller		$175
	Seagate ST277N 65M HD		 450
	Case w/ cable and power supply	  90
	Supra 2M memory expansion	 250
	1M Fat Agnus (installed)	 125
	1.3 ROMs (installed)		  45
				       -----
				       $1135

I was the same drive advertised on the net for $300 a while back.  Prices are
probably lower through mail order.  So far, I have been very pleased with this
setup.
