Amiga 4000T Questions ...

[drwho]

Hi Folks,

Long time, no type. I have been looking at getting an A4000T, I am confused though about the specifications. Some hardware places list it as a SCSI machine, others say it has IDE, but, I can't seem to find difinitive information saying which it really has.

Also, any comments on the 4000T pertaining to whether or not this is a good system to own would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for all the speedy replies, the information is much appreciated. :-)

Actually, this will be a first. SoftHut, has actual Amiga Technologies A4000T's which are factory new. They are quite pricey, but, I think that it would be a good investment with some of my tax returns. I usually buy used, and I have ended up with junk. I wanted to buy an A1, but, to be honest, I am a "Classic-Amiga" guy at heart, an A1 just wouldn't be the same.

So, buying new, I should not have to worry too much (fingers crossed ...) about the condition of the box, plus, I get a something like a warrenty with it.

Anyhow, if anyone knows where I can get a new A4000T other than SoftHut, I would love to hear about it.

Thanks again,
Mike

Well, that's the scary part. This would be my very *first* brand new Amiga. I have owned about 20 Amiga's and every single one was used.

The price is really high, $1299.00 for an A4000T with 6MB, no hd, kb and mouse.

I wish I could find a new one cheaper than this, but, I have had no luck. Seems like an awful lot to pay for a system that has an 040/25, but, in comparison, if you tried to buy that machine a few years ago, it would be $3,000 or something close to that.

I could find out for myself I guess if I weren't so lazy, what does 2100 pounds translate to in US dollars?
