- Hi,
- I have just recieved an offer of an Amiga 500 from a friend who was about to
- chuck it out. The problem(?) is that it is OLD, it was the first Amiga I ever
- saw and I reckon it must be 5/6 years old (For example he got Starglider 1 and
- Karate Kid 2 with the package).
- What I want to know is , how compatibile will it be with modern Amigas
- i.e Will modern software work on it / How well will they work? I know very
- little about hardware but can someone give me a basic outline of what an Amiga
- 500 of this age has / doesn't have?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Andrew.
