Title: Calling all German Amiga fans (not 3Dfx related)
Post by paulpsomiadis on 11.03.15 at 21:39:36
So - basically here's what this thread is about...

My Uncle is currently (after owning it since release day all those years ago) - FINALLY upgrading his old AMIGA 500.

We already have an internal HDD and full ECS chipset, but now lack a RAM upgrade.

We have located the perfect item (8MB RAM sidecar)...but it is on eBay classified ads local to Germany.

And it looks like only someone who is INSIDE Germany can login and get to this (unless someone has a solution whereby I will be able to login?)

Failing that, we need someone who can receive a PayPal payment and buy/ship the item to us from Germany...

Here is the RAM sidecar:

Just post in this thread if you are willing to help and we can sort out the details via PM...

Thanks all!

UPDATE: Seems my Uncle has muddled through the registration using Google translate.
We have contacted the seller - I'll keep you folks updated...

Okay - first off, thanks to those who read this thread
(no need to help anymore, but I had to ask just in case)

Finally - my Uncle (using LOTS of Google translate) has managed to sort things out with the German seller and the RAM upgrade is on the way...

Will keep you guys updated and possibly pictures when it's finished.

(I know it's not 3Dfx - but the Amiga is a piece of revolutionary retro hardware...from which MANY modern computing ideas have originated from)
