G-Rexx worth its weight in Gold

Used G-Rexx PCI bridge for Amiga 4k.  29 bids.  sold for $406.  Total snipefest so it probably would have gone for more given more time.  

Sheesh.. Watching that auction I kept thinking I was at Christies bidding on rare Stuben Glass or something...  I don't imagine these things might ever get cheaper, will they??     :-?

Yeah, watched it too....
They are very sought after because it's the fastest PCI soloution and they are rare as hell and the holy grail if you want to run MorphOS PowerUP  ;-)

It was me who won it.

My Amiga project is a labour of love, and money is no object.

Sorry for sniping, but I wanted the kit badly. G-Rexes don't appear for sale often so I had to act fast and bid seriously. :idea:

Sorry if it means I'm evil, too, or something.

I'm not a bad person though, honest. I'm a budding musician and I use my Amiga for composing. The G-Rex will allow me to get full 16bit sound via the array of nice sound cards that are compatible with it, for programs like Octamed SS, DigiBooster and now especially HivelyTracker.

I am trying to become active in the demoscene, and I've even written a new printable PDF manual for AHX, a chiptune tracker.

I hope you can appreciate that I will be using this kit in a very good and productive way. At least it wasn't bought by someone who'd just hoard it for the sole purpose of selling it on for twice the price later on.

Sorry, anyway. :cry:

And AMIGAZ, as you well know, I do indeed run MOS PowerUP, so you can probably see the other reasons for me wanting it.

That's why I got one too  :-D
