Hello there.....
     
     I am considering the purchase of an Amiga 500 in the near future and
have some questions about it.  There are no dealers that I know of in 250
miles of here so I don't know who else to ask.  My two main questions are:
     
  1.  How much memory can be added to the A500 and what extra items does it
      take to add that much?  I know about the internal board that brings the
      total amount up to 1 megabyte, but I would like to have a system with
      4 to 6 megabytes eventually.
     
  2.  Also, I would like to add a hard disk to the system.  What disks are
      available and how do they attach to the system.
     
     Less important, but nice to know, how do monitors hook up to the system
cable-wise and do the cables come with the system or are they separate?  Can
any monitor be connected, or does it have to be a Commodore monitor.  I
bought a copy of Amigaworld and got some good info from that, but I would
appreciate any info someone could send me.
     
     
      Thanks in advance for any replies.
     
          Bob
