Amiga & Commodore find

That cable is NOT for a C64. It's hard to tell exactly what it is, but I think the previous user was hooking this drive to an Amiga and using that C64 Emulator disk to run C64 software. That's a fairly odd setup.

Here is a pic of the two cables...

Whoops, I was wrong. Those are monitor cables to hook an Amiga up to a 1084S monitor.

Stardust demo disk - fun fun fun.

Music-X - a powerful sequencer for its time.
Even though it's a cover disk, I think this is the full version of the program.

More game demos (Total Carnage, KQ VI, Benefactor, ...).
All good games that you can find in ADF format and decrunch to Amiga diskettes.

Workbench disks -- of course.

Ami-Back - a utility that I never really found a use for.

Not sure how good PrintMaster Plus is. Apparently there were better similar programs on the Amiga.

Fonts disks - tons of fonts available free in the Aminet archives.


For the Amiga 500 itself, the price seems about right.

Ideally, you'd want to find a Magnavox/Commodore 1084 monitor (it can handle both 50 and 60Hz).
And an extra 3.5" diskette drive is really nice to have.

Thanks! What are some helpful tips and things I should look for when purchasing or looking for an Amiga 500/2000 system?
