I am interested in buying an Amiga500 or maybe a used 1000, but I want to know if you can use a normal monochrome monitor and how much does a hard drive and controller cost, ~20-30MB. I have seen adds for 249-299 for Seagate with controller, is this for the amiga of IBM? Also what is the current price for used 1000's? john.... -- John Douglas Turner douglas@ms.uky.edu or douglas@UKMA.BITNET University of Kentucky {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!douglas 902 Patterson Office Tower Lexington, Ky. 40502 These times are a changing.

Do you save that much $$$? I'd suggest that the color is worth it. At least go for a bottom-of-the-line color monitor. > how much does a hard drive and controller cost, ~20-30MB. Count on $500+. But, get more than 20MB - you'll use that up quickly, and find yourself buying another HD. > I have seen adds for 249-299 for Seagate with controller, is this for > the amiga of IBM? At that price, must be for IBM. You've found the Amiga's Achille's Heel. J.Baker.
