    After querying about A500 hard drives, I received a reply about a Great
Valley Products A500 expansion box.

Regarding hard disks for an A500, the latest issue of Workbench newsletter
has an advertisement from Power Peripherals of Laverton (03 369 7020)
for a Great Valley Products A500 expansion box.

The device has a 45 Meg SCSI hard drive and up to 4 meg of expansion memory.
It looks like a suped-up version of the A590 and is priced at $1495.
The ad is a bit vague about whether the price includes the cost of the
4 Meg expansion RAM.

    Does anybody out there have one? Anybody know its exact capabilities? I
am deciding between it and the A590, so would like any opinions on how the 
two compare.
    Please reply by E-MAIL only. If enough requests are made, I'll summarize
it.
	Thanks in advance,
				Ian

P.S.   For O/S readers, the price is in Australian dollars so no flames about
       the high price. The phone number is also Australian, so ignore it.
