It's getting harder and harder to tell if he's malicious or delusional.

I hope he gets himself sorted out.

I belive he keeps this style for 2 reasons... 1, either he's dilusional and actually belive in this or he know he's wrong but he has been on this track for so long he have a hard time getting off. 2, he get free publicity in the Amiga community every time he puts up something for auction.


Hmm, A4000T wasn't made to take SCSI devices? So it's SCSI controller is passive and just there for looks? Sigh :roll:

In fact, if you own an Amiga 600, 1200, 4000, 4000T or one of the new AmigaOne computers, I would highly advise you to sell that piece of crap and buy yourself an Amiga 1000, 500, 2000, or a 3000 Series computer.   You will be glad that you did.

:roflmao:

That means the 4 out of the 5 Amigas I'm going to keep in the future is crap machines, and only one is a high quality machine. Not to add, I only have a crap GVP harddisk controller to my high quality Amiga 500. Oh my god, I think I'm doomed....

Yep, I'll have to rip out the onboard SCSI controller in my A4000T (because it is crap) and then buy an A2091 card (from Doomy of course). Hell maybe I should rip the UW SCSI off the PPC card too, while I'm at it  :lol:

Please, allow 2 to 8 weeks for delivery.  All questions about shipping cost will be deleted, so do not ask.  If you can not afford the shipping cost then you can not afford this item.



Lame.

I guess I need to remove my A4091 SCSI card in my A4000 and replace it asap with a A2091!!!

:banana:

8 weeks is a bit too long. I know very well that the shippings from Redrumloa to Belgium at normal shipping rate took only 8 working days to arrive !!

@TjLaZer:

If you do, don't hesitate to ship the A4091 to me.. ;=)

@ TJLazer

I can't believe you and I were both duped into using crap 4091s in crap A4000s. I feel so silly. What are we to do now?
Title: Re: Canada beware! He's back!!!
Post by: Darklight on June 28, 2005, 12:25:21 PM
@ X-ray

Well, I've got a spare A2091 that I could sell you.  I was thinking of having it framed, simply because it was such a superior piece of technology, but because you're using such a pathetic controller, I could find it in my heart to sell you an A2091.  :-D

@ Darklight

That would indeed be humane.

But I think I should get rid of this A4000T (it is such crap after all). Maybe if I sent it to you, you could have it buried under Uluru where it would not bother society anymore.

I can only imagine how thrilled someone who owns a broken A1200/A4000 etc might feel by his frequently aired opinions and I daresay he doesn't get many people taking up his repair services.

There's something about DM that harks back to geeky days gone by in our early youth when some self-proclaimed "expert" suffering from severe social inadequacy and/or acne would spout their "knowledge" on any subject in a vain attempt to gain the respect of their peers.  However, that kind of behavioural trait is normally lost by one's mid teens so quite why DM still acts like this in his late 40s is a mystery open to some debate.  I guess he's too old for acne :lol:

@ X-ray

That would indeed make sense.  I will trade you my A2091 for your A4000T, purely for the satisfaction I would receive by burying it under Uluru, or throwing it into the Tasman, so the only people it would bother would be the Kiwis.  Truly, it is a wonder why the A4000/T was even conceived.  Surely, the designers would have realised that this machine was crap compared to the mighty 2000HD!
Seriously though, I can picture Doomy as one of the guys writing into Amiga magazines, asking for there to be more A500 programs, instead of AGA demos  :lol:

Yes we all know he is theiving scumbag, I'm sorry you've been ripped off by him too.

Maybe if all Amiga ebay sellers joined forces and put "Do not buy from as he is a violent thief", it might stop someone else falling victim.

I picture this guy living in a shack in the middle of nowhere with stacks of broken Amiga 1000's & 2000's piled up on his  front porch. He probably wears nothing but old button up shirts and army fatigues.

He is what I like to call a "technology redneck"

A rare but dangerous breed. Instead of focusing on the usual stuff like cars & guns these guys focus on some strange form of technology.

Do you guys have these in europe? :lol:  :lol:

Not from Europe, but this reminds me of a day recently when I was driving my daughter to school.  I passed a house that looked like it'd been built during the Johnson administration and last painted during the Nixon administration - you know the sort of place.  Sagging in the middle, a "Shotgun shack" type of house, loads of dead plants in coffee cans and broken pots on the front porch and the inevitable "NO TRESPASSING" sign nailed to one of the front porch posts...

Anyway, two guys were hauling old, yellowed PCs out to the curb - there was already a considerable pile of monitors, a desk (which looked like it had originally cost more than the house, but was now just as dilapidated), stacks of PC towers...

Same day, later on my way home I saw a towered A1200 (!!!) sitting out by the curb - no side panel on the case, and it was right at a red light so I got a good look inside.  Had it not been pouring rain I would've grabbed it and thrown it in the car and had my first HW amiga in about twelve years.  However, as it was raining pretty hard and the inside of the system looked totally trashed, I didn't bother.

He's made his feedback PRIVATE.

Why bother looking because it's at a disgraceful 93% anyway.
