Hoax or true? Petro could get a batch of 1500x A1200

wow! thats like 1500 MFLOPS if you fire all those bad boys up at once.

I wonder about the condition they've been kept in, and whether there might be any faulty electronics after sitting in a box for 20 years.
 
Anyone has experience there?

I bought a NOS CD32 that turned out to be in excellent physical condition... but yeah.. it never worked very well. But I have read that NTSC CD32s has all sorts of issues even when new.

With a 1200 as long as the KB and case are nice, you could get the MB reworked with new caps and such.

Yeah.  The NOS CD-32 I bought about six years ago has a flakey CD drive, and I recall the same thing as you about the drives.  Spectacular condition otherwise.  I'd like to think that someone like Amigakit or Vesala (I'm not sure who's active in Amiga stuff these days) might be able to pick up some of these units and provide optional testing.

i think the drive works ok, just the machine only worked for 20 minutes before it would not run anything and just start crashing or guru... last time i tried to boot it up it did nothing at all...
