Title: $100 Worth of Amiga
Post by: aeroc on August 25, 2012, 03:39:16 PM
I recently showed a picture in the small score's thread of a lot of Amiga stuff I snagged from the local classifieds. It's hard to tell what was all there because it was mostly all in boxes and it took me a few days to look through everything. So this is me showing off my purchase, I'm quite happy with it.

Firstly, this is what 5000+ floppy disks of mostly copied Amiga games and software looks like:

Also included were 2 Amiga 1000s and an Amiga 2000. The Amiga 2000 had some interesting hardware in it, including 3 hard drives ranging from 20mb to 50mb each, an Atari ST emulator card and what I believe is a PC emulator card. All the machines work well.

There was a box of boxed games and software, which was my main reason for buying this lot. All of which I am happy to report has been scanned and uploaded to the RFG DB. Not only were there games for Amiga, but there were also games for Commodore 64, Apple II, Mac and PC.

Here are some loose originals I found among the 5000 floppies.

A lot of audio, video and MIDI devices were included:

And lastly some accessories:

I plan to sell one of the Amiga 1000s and pretty much everything else that isn't gaming related to help earn my $100 back. And I have no idea what to do with 5000 floppies. I can't imagine keeping them all, they take up too much space.

Wow. I think this is awesome. I've been lucky enough finding lots with a bunch of stuff for old computers (vic 20, c64 and the like) but nothing this impressive. I would keep all the floppies but that's just me.

It looks like you still couldn't escape the curse of Silent Service!

So jealous right now.  The stars have to be aligned properly to get an Amiga haul for only $100.  Plus it sounds like the 2000 might have some additional RAM in it (I think it came with 1MB standard).
