Do You Believe There Are Only 2000 A4000T's Out There?

[djbase]

Escom wanted to make 100.000 A1200 and 6.000 A4000T in total. Remember that Escom crashed only a few months after the A4000T was on sale. From the serial numbers I have I can estimated that a minimum of 5.000 A4000T and 80.000 A1200 were made. From the Commodore A4000T there must be at least 150 units so a total of 200 is possible.

Someone needs to start a serial number database on the A4000Ts.

Not sure how many were made but I don't think that many would have been sold as at the time the things were wayyyy too expensive:  $4000 Aus for 25 mhz 68040 with 6 Meg ram and 1.2 gig hard drive plus a magic pack.  No monitor, and I think you got the Magic pack software plus Scala, plus they were TALKING about some 3d rendering software, initially Lightwave was mentioned and later Reak 3D.

Mine cost me £2000 in 1996, brand new. Bought here in England. I can't remember if that included the M1438s monitor or not.
It was very expensive. I got the 060 later that year, and I think it was just short of £700. The SCSI module for that Cyberstorm was another £150 IIRC.

Miggies aren't for the faint of heart or the short of wallet

I also have a brand new unused spare case.

Scuzz,

I'm interested to know if the spare case originally had a motherboard in it or if it would have come from the factory empty. Any ideas?

Thanks,

Robert

Hi

I don`t think the case ever had a motherboard in it. The guy I got it from bought it from Germany as a spare case. Its in mint condition with absolutely no signs of there being anything fitted inside. Could be wrong.

Its possible I guess that those last three digits on the bar code represent the actual unit number... In your case the number being 955. Probably not.

It is but mainboard, modules and other stuff have its own serial number. So this is the serial of the case.

Don't know how many 4000 Towers are out there but i have one of the original ones made by Amiga.  Any takers??

[Tahoe]

Mine are found here

The serials numbers (bottom of page) are very different indeed. I have not figured out a way do calculate an amount from it, but that also goes for most other machines.

[ddniUK]

only difference that I see in the numbers are the last three. 978 and 955. But your system id14 has a very different number.

[Tahoe]

Yes, that machine has a serial number much closer to the one from scuzzb494... That's why it's not possible to deduct an amount from the serial numbers imho.
