Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look for a cheap 20+ meg hard drive for an Amiga 500? Also, what's a reasonable amount of memory to get in an Amiga if you plan to make use of multi-tasking by running several applications concurrently? Thanks, Will

I got some trouble when I bought it because of a bad controller card , but now it seems to work fine. The skyline HD500 has 30 meg and an access time of 65 ms. The version I have is not autoboot , but you can add an autoboot module for a low cost (autoboot is not so great when viruses are walking around ...). You cannot add memory as allow the A590, but you can add another disk (3" 1/2). Buy a Hard disk to your amiga, it will transform it! olivier Bordes "soyons clair et concis" olivier@hpgnd.hp.com
