The A3000 has a VGA out. ?Or if you're lucky you

I forgot about the vga adapter on the 3000.
For the A500, the best bet is to find a A520, but you
might need to feed it
through a VCR or something depending on the TV you want to hook it to. ?I
know that is the case with your one TV and things like the TurboGrafix 16,
or our SuperGun. ?I assume a A520 is still easy to find, I know they were 10
years ago.
They show up on ebay all the time, but you might have to wait a couple weeks.
Personally in this day and age, I think the A500 is
one of the best Amiga's
to have, as it plays all the old games. ?For AGA games though you need a
A1200 or A4000.
The 2000 is supposed to be the same design as the 500, just with slots
added. It plays the same games and has many more upgrade options.
Still, the 500 was the one I had and I'd like to have one again. I
have a 600, two 2000s, and parts of a 1200. I'd still like to get the
1200 working, and end up with a lot of upgrades for the 2000 and 1200.
The upgrades are getting expensive these days though. Look at this:

I just can't bring myself to spend $500 on an amiga. Many fine
woodworking machines can be had for that. Still, the 68060 boards are
awesome.

this winter)
I'd like to have a 500 and 3000. Care to trade a working 2000 for both? :-D
