This is the classic, epic looking Commodore Amiga A590 sidecar. And yes, it does look like an original Star Trek space shuttle now that you mention it.
The A590 is used with an Amiga 500's side expansion port. It contains a hard drive controller and support for up to 2MB of AutoConfig FastRAM. I do NOT know if any RAM is installed as this is untested.
This A590 looks factory new - except for the front left corner of the plastic case (see photo) where the original... owner somehow hit it to produce a small divot. The plastic is the original factory color with zero yellowing and looks fantastic.
If you've made it this far, you very likely already know about this special drive unit and probably a lot of the trivia (e.g. the LEDs are named Fred and Wilma on the circuit board). But if you have a question, feel free to ask me anything.
Due to the insane price of shipping during COVID, in particular international shipping, I'm asking this auction be set for the continental USA only.
