Just one a4000d (060/PPC/CVPPC) - I'm no freak, not me - no sir!

Oh, and the other a4000d/040 which I bought a few weeks ago out of curiosity.
Erm, and 3 spare a4000 motherboards (one of which is a corpse).
And a spare a3640 from the first a4000d, a non-working CSPPC which I've been meaning to send to JJB at the Amigacentre, and a non-working CSmk2 which is probably beyond repair.

Oh, and 3 a1200 motherboards without ROMs, and a Micronik z3 busboard which was working, but I can't test anymore as I have no ROMS in my a1200s.
And a whole host of zorro boards and i/o extenders. And a few midi samplers. And a sound enhancer. And the external disk drives.

Eeek, and the Amigaone which I'm thinking of selling.



But that's just because I had a bit of a clear out a while ago and got rid of the dead wood. :lol:

None. My A4000T/PPC went to the dump this weekend, along with all software, magazines and peripherals. Just having a last look at some Amiga websites before I delete my bookmarks, then my involvement with Amiga is finished.

It was great to start with, but for me it's pointless to even think about staying. AOS doesn't provide the facilities I need in the 21st century.


Whaaaaaaaaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?!?!?

We'll see who gets there first... :lol:

Although if it is near us and I did go and get it I'd probably let u have the PPC Accelerator (for half of the petrol cost)... as much as I'd like it, I'd rather have the 4000T system and it'd only be fair to let you have something... :)

Edit:
Hmm.. I've just realised who you are.. lol... Did you ever get that cheque for those LS120 drives? I sent about 3 or 4 of them... maybe I never had your address right.. lol


No, never received them - I'd assumed you had never got around to sending them (I assume they haven't been cashed out of your account :-o ).
I (think) I got rid of the LS120s in a clear out just before I moved house in February (...quickly rummages in spares box...) yep, no more ls120s here I'm afraid.

iirc you were building an in-car PC or an in-car amiga? Did you ever get it finished?

Just looking through pha_q's previous posts he mentions Lord Lucan and Stoke City, so must live in the UK somewhere!

Damn!

PS - If I find it first you can have the a4000T ;-)

Not angry, just frustrated at the time. Everything Amiga turns out to be a waste of money. Bought Amithlon, it got discontinued. Bought a Mediator, and there are about a dozen cards supported. Got a setup to run OS4, and it still hasn't been released for legacy systems.

As for dumping my system, I've tried selling it, and had nothing but clowns offering a pittance for it. I'm not shelling out thousands of pounds for someone else's benefit. As far as I'm concerned, a poor return is worse than no return.

PS. If anyone wants to go rummaging through garbage, it was dumped in Manchester.

Am I glad I booked this week off on holiday! :-)

I should be able to get across to Manchester tomorrow.
I've sent you a pm asking which dump it was sent to. Manchester is a big place, and that's an awful lot of rubbish without narrowing it down a bit.

I think I remember your postings on Amibench - you wanted £1000 minimum if I remember rightly. It has been quite a while since you last posted it on there though.

Hi pha_q

Which dump in Manchester did it go to - I may be able to get across tomorrow.

Thanks in advance

Try them all, you might get lucky.


Yeah right!
I DO remember you from your Amibench ads - same arrogant tone.
You're obviously a rather bitter individual, and I'm glad I don't know you. This small encounter has been unpleasant enough.
