It can often be a shock to find some old receipts for the computer hardware you purchased years ago, especially in the Amiga days.
So what can you remember buying back in the day for your Amiga that when you now look back and think about it seems quite a mad price for what it was?
For me I remember buying a high density external floppy drive from Power Computing and paying about £149 for it. I still remember my amazement at finally being able to fit 1.76MB onto a floppy disk! But I did actually need the drive because I had to access the HD floppies I was using for my university course work. Was very useful being able to access PC, Mac and Amiga disks with that drive. Something the PC can't even do today without additional hardware!
But that was nothing. My first HD, a 330MB monster of an external Archos PCMCIA drive for the A1200 cost me over £300. That works out at about £1 per MB!!!
I'm going through my Amiga stuff at the moment to see what I really want to keep, and what I will never use again (Amibay is calling) and I normally kept the receipts in the boxes with the hardware, so if I find any more great purchase prices I will post them.
Anyone else got any mad prices they paid for hardware?
