Shot97 | Installing An Amiga 500 GVP Hard Drive + Emulation - The You're Not Stupid Guide @Shot97 | Uploaded August 2017 | Updated October 2024, 20 minutes ago.
When my hard drive died on me last year I felt it was a good opportunity to show off how to install a hard drive onto your Amiga 500. Here I use the GVP Impact Series II A500 + drive from Great Valley Products. Later on in the video I even show off how to install a hard drive in emulation via WinUAE.
