Draco Casablanca on eBay.

How odd that I was just reading about this thing, kind of a custom / clone of an Amiga (4000?)

Then BAM, I see one on eBay.

Pretty cool, there aren't any takers, and I don't have spare cash sitting around, but I figured it should go to a real fan rather than some random person.

That was kind of the thought I had on it as well.  That the only use would probably be a few spare parts (not sure if the processor is soldered in or socketed) but at least there is memory.  Or even maybe a raspberry pi project..

Well, it's hardware... and newly available through backwater deals.. so hardware.. news...

At least this is in the semi-right section.  There was a post about a licensing of kickstart to Individual computers that was in Software News.  While Kickstarts are on the fence of hardware/software there were announcements of new Hardware in that thread, so it belongs in the Hardware News, not software.

I was going to put the thread somewhere else, but since it was about Hardware, I figured I'd put it here.

I wasn't aware of anyone having any luck one way or another of converting the Draco into an actual Amiga.

And it's not like this forum has an overabundance of posts that 'oh my god, one more random thing from eBay!  How can we handle the load!?'

Meh, have a mod move it into the hardware discussions then.  It's not like it'll hurt my feelings.  I agree, probably shouldn't have been put in 'News'.
