I have the following Amiga hardware and software for sale
(very preferably as a bundle):
Amiga 500
equipped with A501 memory expander (total of
1 MB RAM) and the standard internal 3.5"
floppy drive, serial port, parallel port,
RGB monitor output, composite output,
and 2 DB-9 mouse/joystick ports. Also
comes with the mouse (of course).
MAST Twindrive
This is a DUAL external drive for the Amiga.
It's a VERY low power consumption design and
doesn't need an external power supply. It
has enable/disable switches on both drives for
those sometimes-finicky games. This drive is
super handy on a floppy-only system.
1084S Color Stereo Monitor
The basic color Amiga monitor with speakers on both
sides for the stereo effect. Also have an antiglare
filter for it -- it velcroes to the front of the
monitor.
Benchmark Modula-2
Probably the best selling Modula-2 compiler for the
Amiga. Has an integrated editor environment based
on emacs. Original manual and diskettes included.
ARexx
A MUST for all Amiga owners. A very nice implementation
of the REXX language for the Amiga. Includes original
manual and diskette.
DPaint II
Pretty nice paint program (my kid sister loves it!). Has
original manual and diskette.
Populous
A pretty nifty game -- you get to be one of two Gods over
a planet. You can play against the computer or against
another player (even by modem). Includes original
diskette, manual, and box.
CrossDOS
A nice utility that lets your mount an Amiga floppy drive
as an MS-DOS device. You treat it like any other Amiga
drive, but it reads and writes MS-DOS disks instead.
Includes manual and diskette.
Starglider 2
World Games
Miscellaneous games. Both come with manuals and diskettes.
Books
The AmigaDOS Reference manual.
Programming the Amiga volume 1.
Miscellaneous
Whatever else I find in the box of Amiga stuff. You'll probably
pick up some disks of shareware (paid for) and PD software
and maybe a diskette box or two.
I'm selling this system because I don't have the room or time to deal
with two computers. I hate to sell it because I really like it, but
it's not getting used at all right now and that probably won't change
for a while. Maybe I'll buy a 3000 later this year.
I guesstimate the new cost for this system at about $1,200.00, assuming
education price for the Amiga 500/1084S along with the going rate
for the software and books.
I'd like to get $700 for the whole bundle, but I'm going to take offers
through Sunday, March 31. Buyer pays shipping. I'll take offers
for some of the stuff separately, but they will not be considered until
the April 1st to see if I can sell it as a bundle first.
