Hi, I'm looking to buy any hard drive with controller for the Amiga 500, I don't care about have many msec the access time is, I just want something inexpensive (cheap!). I'd like at least 40 meg, but if I see a really good deal for 20 I'd be willing, I'm not too concerned with more ram, but it woulkd be nice. Ok, anyone out there selling, to tell the truth I'd rather not go too far above $500, but talk to me. If you know of anyone selling please tell me or them, thanx in advance.

I found a great solution...ST251 HDs...I origionally received two FREE from
a relative, and thought it was a great deal, but have recently realized that
they're everywhere, either free or cheap...these suckers are 40Megs...new
they're $200, so they can be had (if you need to buy them) for $50-100 used...
...the only problem I had was connecting them...they arn't SCSI, but RLL (the
ancient IBM buss)...but a solution was found...for $200...

Not bad...$200 for 80 megs (28ms access time, 400Kb/sec transfers)
The only complaint is that the whole setup is software controled (it is
available in autoboot and reboot(after loading from disk))...in the end, I'm
left with about 750Kb on a 1Meg system...(they did have a few good suggestions
for RAM expansion though)...
