Found a few more Amiga items in my local craigslist. Bought all of it for $90:
1x Amiga A600HD (works, w/workbench 2.0. also had something called Scala MM installed along with the 'key' (some kind of copyprotect that goes in the mouse port?) - this was $25 from a separate vendor
1x Commodore 1084 monitor (not 1084s)
1x Amiga 500, boxed, inside some kind of weird Amiga starter kit box. Unfortunately what would have come with the starter kit (games, etc) appears to be mostly gone. Amiga did have all of its manuals, etc.
1x Master 3A1 external amiga floppy
1x A501 RAM expansion kit
1x A520 MOD (adapts to composite and TV connections)
The A600HD has proven a huge asset. For some reason I could not get Amiga Explorer to transfer itself properly to my A500. Thought it was the cable, but on giving it a try with the A600 it's been working perfectly. Nuclear War here I come.
Really would like to be using the A2000, which is the machine I dreamed of as a kid and just fixed here... but no keyboard!
Also.. the 1084 -- it's identical to the 1080 almost, save for badges? Is that what you guys were saying.. different 1084 monitors = different manufacturers? It seems to work really well, except for some games the vhold has to be adjusted, or in the case of one game, the position is a bit too low. Wish the v position could be adjusted.
