It's been posted to his Facebook page, so we should know soon.
Earth has a lot of things other folks might want... like the whole planet. And maybe these folks would like a few changes made, like more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and room for their way of life. - William S. Burroughs

It seems to be true. But I think you have to take the whole bunch of 1500x. AND perhaps it wasn't ment to be public on FB. It was directed to the owner of the "Amiga Future" magazine.

That's who posted the news bit on his page. :)

He just messaged me on my wall. He offered me one for 150 Euro...

Yep, I'd say it be true! :)

Ohboyohboyohboy !
Now we need a proper online order form.
Go Petro !


He's sorting things out right now. You should hear official word before long.

Needless to say, I'm going to raise money to get one...

Signed no less. :)

Interesting and kind of cool news, but 150euro seems a little steep in my opinion, unless there's a warranty involved.

To each his own though and nice to have some more classic amigas in circulation.


From what I understand, these are the old Magic Packs. Box, software and all.

That and having it signed would make it worth while to me. I'll end up storing it in a plastic tote as a collector's item.

Now to raise the cash. Joblessness sucks!

Any more info on where these machines comes from?


From my understanding of Petro's English...

They are coming from a buyer that Petro had sold to back in the day when he was president.

There might also be some CD32s. I remember ther was a massive sale/stock dissapearance when CBM went bust.

I heard of numbers of about 15000 units, but then it could have been just nonsense gossip.

1,500 is the number Petro quoted to me.

EDIT: 1,500 units, not 15,000.

Sorry guys, my mistake. I double check his message to me.

It was 1,500 units, not 15,000 units.

I only keep a couple NTSC machines around to work with my NTSC DCTV, Super Gen +, and Chroma Key.

My other two machines are PAL, most def! :)
