Since buying an A2500, I have, surplus to my requirements, an
Amiga 2500.  [An A2500 is a rebadged Amiga 2000, with factory
installed accellerator and HD]

	1Mb Chip memory.
	ECS Agnus
	ECS Denise
	1.3 and 2.04 in ROM, [switchable]
	44MB Rodime ST506 interface hard disk drive. Flawless.
        71MB Miniscribe ST506 interface HD [factory flaws, noisy, unreliable]
        2090a ST506/SCSI disk controller
        GVP A3001 Accellerator board ...
            68030 clocked at 30Mhz. [originally 28Mhz.]
            4MB of 32bit wide FastMem. [Board can accommodate up to 8Mb]
            IDE disk controller built in [useless unless you have
                                          a Quantum 80Mb IDE drive]

        Sysinfo 3.01 claims this system performs at 1.39 that of
        an A3000/25. Chip ram access is 58% of A3000 speed. 

        Being ST506, the hard disk performance is slow.  Max
        transfer rate is about 250KBytes/second, with average being half that.

        Software: Workbench 2.04, with 2.04 manuals
                  SAS C compiler. 5.10a, with manuals. 
                  Some [not much] games that don't work on my A4000.
		  Rodime HD has PD software on it. All commercial
                  software removed.

                  AmigaUUCP 1.16D environment available if required.
                  [for those people who think they might be able
                   to get a UUCP network connection. 2400bps
                   modem to suit - $130]

        Manuals   Addison/Wesley 1.1 Amiga Rom Kernel Reference Manual [yawn!]
                  Addison/Wesley Amiga Hardware Reference Manual [neat]

The Miniscribe HD was purchased new in '89 for $1250.
The A2500 [2090a/Rodime/A2620(sold)] was purchased new in June 1990 for $3000.
The A3001 was purchased new in August 1990 for $2999.
Super Denise purchased in 1991 for $60.
Workbench 2.04 ROM purchased in Jun '92, with ROM switcher, for $180.

I prefer to sell the system as is, but I am prepared to take
offers on the GVP accellerator board.  I am _not_ prepared to
sell the A2500 and disk drives separately.

The unreliable 71Mb drive is almost a give-away. 

 Note 1: there is *no* monitor included with the system.
      2: This system has a 'cherry' keyboard, with the small function keys. :-(

Commercial establishments sell A2000HD [SCSI/52Mb] [no monitor] for $1,200.
GVP 68030 accellerator boards are still up around $1,200.

             My system is priced to clear at $1,750.

Delivery costs included by overnight courier, anywhere in Oz.

                           NO C.O.D.!
