Listen up guys, I have some Amiga hardware for sale. I am planning to buy some new exciting Amiga stuff during this fall/winter, amongst that stuff is a Deneb card for my A4000 and some other cool Amiga related things, to fund this fun hobby I have to empty my drawers and closets and sell off some Amiga gear to keep my economic balance on the plus sign.
All hardware tested and fully working, only bare cards -No CD/manuals (except GVP HD8+ wich has a floppy disk).
I would prefer if buyer is in europe but I have sold Amiga goods before to people in Australia and USA. Payment through bank account transfer or Paypal (if by Paypal add 5 euro). Buyer pays shipping costs.
Send me an email to erkan at erkan dot se with “amiga stuff for sale” in the topic.
Thanks for looking

Just two months ago I was given a free classic maxi tower, these kinds of cases are somewhat rare these days so I immediately said I would take it when offered.
Today I added a second maxi tower to my ever growing case collection. It is as the previous one ATX format and has six external 5.25″ slots.
So how relevant are these kinds of cases to the Amiga?
Well, back in 1997 the coolest thing you could do was to hack your trusty A1200 into the biggest tower you could find, head for a really tall building and scream -Amiga, back for the future.
Then when you arrived at home again adoring your gigantic Amiga tower packed of PC crushing power you added a huge Amiga sticker to your tower so that your friends would not mistake your server-size chassis for a run of the mill Quake-gaming computer (while you wished your A1200 030 25Mhz ran Quake faster than your buddy’s P166).
Wow, how times have changed…

The Multivision 500 is a scandoubler/flicker fixer for the Amiga 500 (that can also function with an Amiga 1000) and is internally mounted. The small circuit board is pressed into the Denise socket, and the Denise chip is removed and mounted onto the Multivision.

I got an idea today to try out if the Buddha Flash Phoenix edition Zorro2 IDE controller works in an A500 through an 86-pin to 100-Pin adapter.
It did not work.

Today I upgraded this little blog to a “proper” Blog by converting previous posts to a fresh WordPress installation. I managed to do it in less than 6 hours.My main motivation for this was that the previous system for running a blog was not as advanced as I would want it to be, but for the regular visitor to this blog you will probably not notice many differences (yet). Keep in mind though that some parts may be broken here and there.
