Title: A few intersting ebay items this evening....
Post by: giZmo350 on February 18, 2008, 02:29:06 AM
This A500 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230222124551&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=013) is going to go for way more than this A1200! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280199874140&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=018)

I really would have liked either of these two items but too rich for my blood!
Asim CSFS v3.9a Amiga CD-ROM Control Software + Manual (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180214887322&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008)
Commodore 64 Emulator - Hardware / Software for Amiga (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180214856427&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=008)

Even C64's are commanding a hefty price! (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300198048687&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=020)

Oh well, still fun to window shop...   :-)

I'm getting a really good deal on a computer.  But I won't tell you about it or you'll outbid me.  Of course, it's not an Amiga, so maybe you won't.

It's one of those radio shack 200in one educational electronic  project kit type things where you construct electrical or electronic circuits on spring connectors? and see how the circuit works.

Close, but no cigar.  The construction is the same, but the kits you are referring to were for analog circuits that you would wire up every time you wanted a new one.
This kit only gets wired once (unless like me, you hack it!).

It's a single-chip computer.  It's got a TMS1100 CPU, which is programmed to act like a virtual proceessor.  Kinda like Java or dare I say Intent.

I got one when I was 10.  I don't know if it even worked anymore by the time I last saw it (don't even remember when).  I was always making it do things it wasn't designed to do and I put a big strain on it.  I overclocked it something fierce, and I put too much load on the I/O, and it got pretty squirelly after that.  It even developed some undocumented opcodes!

I always wanted a KIM-1.  I cannot afford one.  So, this is my extremely-poor-man's KIM-1.  It's kind of the same thing, only *considerably* more useless.  Fun to play with though.

It has less than 3 bytes of data RAM if I remember right, and maybe 127 bytes of program RAM.
Someday, I'll win the lottery so I'll have some time on my hands and I'll do what I wanted to do when I was 10: Build my own 6502 based breadboard computer.
