Well I've got one, but it's not for sale. For a while there I think I had 
every Amiga ever made. 

Amiga 1000
Amiga 500
Amiga 2000
Amiga Joysticks
Amiga Joyboard

Have I missed anything? 

I got both the joysticks and the Joyboard from people that bought them
years ago for their Atari 2600 game machines. So if you're looking to
expand your collection of Amigas, try getting your friends and neighbors
to dig through their attics and basements.

PS Anyone remember the line in the Developer's Conference Notes? I think
it was RJ that said "We were making joysticks, and had this idea for a
really great peripherial to plug onto the end of them."
