Why don't you sell it to the community.  Name your price, have the Amiga community buy it and elect people in electronics to develop it.


Well, the synth Minator is interested in seems to be in the $3000-$4000 range on eBay and he's proposed a swap for the synth on the offchance someone here has one, so that might be a starting point...

I think it'd make an awesome Jello mold.  Giant red gelatin Walker with little boing balls suspended in it!

It would ensure that its properly documented, archives of Kickstart and Workbench could be made, and then an attempt to fix whatever system/boot issues it has could be addressed.


I think its value is solely as a prototype/curiosity.  What is there to gain in making it work 100%/reproducing it?  It's a 33mhz A1200 compatible system, and an incomplete one at that, probably with some unresolved hurdles.

Some guy over on EAB (or actually it may have been two separate guys) put together their own Walker case replicas, one of them was looking pretty good.
