A4000 Rev B Bare PCB board?

[snuci]

Were these bare A4000 Rev B desktop PCB boards available at some point  in time?  I purchased one the other day and this actually might be  "rare" as the seller described but I am skeptical.  It's a wall hanger  (and I'll frame it with a decent presentation) but you guys must know  how common these are.

Thanks for the feedback.  I have seen the A4000T bare boards that were reproductions but not a desktop either.

In terms of it being from when Commodore went under, I would have guessed the last rev (Rev D) bare boards may have been left over and they would have used up the previous revs.  

It's definitely interesting and is a great looking board.  Too bad it's more than two layers or it might have been useful for reproduction.  I do have an A4000D with the same Rev B board that can use some fixing

Scuzzb494,

Thanks for the reply.  I actually have a couple of other boards that are pretty cool but they are not Amiga's.  My most favorite is still my bare MITS Altair Rev 1 CPU board.  

I will take good care of it.

You should take some high resolution photos and submit them to The Big Book Of Amiga Hardware for inclusion in the A4000 page since there are currently no photos of unpopulated boards there.

Good suggestion.  Email and pictures sent.

As for the artwork, while it is awesome looking, it is a symbol of what killed Commodore.  I'll frame it but I'd much rather frame a bare Commodore 64 motherboard; a representation of their success.

I seem to be replying to myself but I had a "Ahah!" moment.  I have a couple of KIM-1s.  I will frame both together.  KIM-1 representing the first Commodore board and the A4000 representing the last.

Technically, this would be accurate, right?  Or is there something I'm missing?

I just wanted to mention that you too can have your very own Amiga A4000D bare PCB board.

I am not affiliated to the seller.  Just wanted to let you guys know about it.

So the greed of the board of directors, bad marketing, lack of vision in bringing new, competitive products to market is just a cover up for the fact that production of the A4000 is what ACTUALLY killed Commodore?

AMAZING!!! [Put hands above head and show "Jazz Fingers"]

Sorry, "killed" was the wrong word.  I did watch "The Deathbed Vigil" and I agree with you.  According to that documentary, the CD32 could have saved them if they had the money for parts.  It was definitely bad upper management.
