Amiga Hard Drive Plus A590 (Amiga) -Free Tracked 48 Post

About this deal

The Commodore A590 Hard Drive Plus is a vintage sidecar expansion unit designed specifically for the Amiga 500 and 500+. It plugs into the expansion bus on the left side of the Amiga 500 and offers a hard disk drive and memory expansion, with sockets for up to 2MB of RAM, direct memory access (DMA), and a connector for SCSI expansion. It was usually shipped with a 20MB Seagate SCSI drive or a 20MB Western Digital XT drive. The A590 is a sidecar unit for the A500(+) containing a hard drive controller, support for up to 2MB of AutoConfig Fast RAM, and both a SCSI controller and an XT controller. This listing is sold for parts or not working, making it suited to retro computing enthusiasts seeking a restoration project, a donor unit for spares, or a display piece. The SCSI2SD product is a viable replacement for failed physical hard disk units, so collectors may find value in a non-working example for its controller board and casing.
