    Default Interest Check: a500 w/ 100+ disks

    Ugh, finances got severely boned a couple days back - you know the drill. I'm gauging interest on my beloved amiga. I got this from Zektor and it's not stock:

    a500 system - 1.3 KS, 1.3 Workbench

    1MB Chip RAM (mod done to make trapdoor act as chip)
    Fat Agnus
    PAL/NTSC switch
    PC Floppy drive modded to be an Amiga floppy drive
    Power supply, a520 for A/V output and comes with a Sega Genesis controller - which works as a gamepad (b = button 1, c = button 2)

    Over 100 disks full of games and apps. These were made via Amiga Explorer, not legit so just consider them being 100 blank Amiga formatted floppies for value. As in "not much"


    I'm looking for paypal only, but because of the mods I'm not sure if value would get increased or decreased. I can take pics when I get home to any and all interested (or not be an idiot and just up them here )

    It's a great system and if I'm 'stuck' with it I won't mind. However the checkbook's empty and I need to find some cash somehow.

    Holy crap. It's been a while.

    Default PAL / NTSC Switch

    Is the PAL/NTSC Switch for video only or PAL and NTSC games? Why I ask is some European games won't run on the NTSC so is the switch on pin 41 of the Fat Agnus?

    I've actually always run it from PAL, but it is soldered to the Agnus - it's a literal PAL/NTSC switch.

    that PAL/NTSC switch alone makes this tempting.

    its a shame because i have a beautiful A1200T but it seems like 90% of the files online for things like preinstalled WHDload games and patches are for the PAL versions so all my games run to fast on my NTSC system if i want to use WHDload....which is really the biggest draw anyways.

    most of them are playable sure but things like the intro to barbarian II just skip (and i love that intro) or the music is way to sped up on alot of games

    I was thinking around $80 + shipping but I'm flexible...

    If you don't want the 100 or so disks, that'd save on shipping, I'm flexible in that regard. I can also include a null modem cable if you want to use Hombre or Amiga Explorer to write your own floppies (like I did).
