I recently acquired a bunch of Amiga equipment that I'm not sure I'm ever going to
get a chance to use. I'm currently looking for someone who might want this equipment.
I got it for free so I will pass it on at no charge as well.
Just briefly, the main items are:
1) Two Amiga 500 computers
2) A sidecar style hard drive for one Amiga 500
3) an Amiga CD32 game machine
4) a Paravision SX-1 attachment for the CD32 with lots of additional ports to allow the
CD32 to be used as a computer
5) two 1084s monitors
6) numerous floppy drives including a number of 3.5" drive and one 5.25" drive
7) software and manuals for most if not all of the hardware
I've seen one Amiga 500 boot from the hard drive into Workbench. I've also seen
the CD32+Paravision unit boot into Workbench from a floppy. I don't know the state of
the second Amiga 500 but it appears to be in good condition.
I'm in southern NH and would like someone to take all of this equipment.
Thanks,
David Betz

I have one of these (and the CD32 - that's even attached to the
downstairs TV) - I'd love to get/replicate/imitate the AT keyboard
interface. IIRC, it's a PLCC microcontroller that plugs into an empty
socket on the SX-1. Do you (or anyone else) know/remember details of
the keyboard adapter?

I'm in Ohio and can't get up there for a pickup (and I'm already about
to receive some C= CRTs and an A1000 locally), but hopefully someone
will step forward. That's not a bad haul of gear.

I'd love some of this stuff (especially the sidecar, the CD32, the
SX-1 and the software) but might not have room for everything. I'm in
Boston and if someone else from the area would like to take the rest
I'd be happy. Otherwise, I'll take it all and put the stuff that I
can't use up on Freecycle.

I would point you over to www.amibay.com: you post it there you have
it all taken away by Friday.
(Ok, maybe Monday :-)
In fact, I know that there is a member of that board fairly close to
you. And the CD32+SX-1 is a very desired item.

Thanks to everyone who responded! The Amiga stuff has been claimed.
