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

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.

As much as I grumble about having no discretionary money, I'm pretty sure I can dig up the buck to snag a NOS 1200.  I don't suppose 1500 will go too very quickly, though I wouldn't want to chance that at a good price.

I wonder how the caps will be after all this time.

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 would probably buy one for 150€ if it is PAL machines. Not interested in NTSC crap.

You can keep that PAL crap.:juggler:

Is this legit?

Is it morally ok to hide some Amigas when a company is dying then later sell them.

Either way I want one haha

At this point the damage is already done, if any was done at all.  I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, and doing so leads me to several conclusions, one being that if the company was heading down-hill at the time the 1200s in question may have had a sealed fate.  The reality is that few people know exactly what really happen, and I will likely never be one of them.

[LoadWB]

Yes and we could connect the dots in a different way and end up with a totally different conclusion.

One of my conclusions is that Petro is a time-traveler.  How many immaterial speculative conclusions can we conjure up for this scenario?

@Kesa, I fail to see how wanting to buy a NOS A1200 is equivalent to turning our backs on FPGA.  Will the appearance of 1500 A1200s suddenly kill the FPGA market?  Film at 11...
