Oops!  I just started a thread on this, we must have been typing at the same time.

I have a large Amiga collection, would you consider a trade for the items you are auctioning?  A4000D?  A3000D? Graphics Cards?  Accellerators?
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

the point is that its an A1000!!!

You know, some ppl don't understand this, in as much as "why drive a 1960s Jaguar when you can buy a nice new Toyota?" "Why would I want a 20 year old Amiga when I can get a characterless PC?" etc...

If you don't get it, then you don't 'get it'...  


Yes, an A1000, is the machine that started a phenomenom that for most of us that visit A.org has not ended.  This Phoenix MoBo and limited edition accellerator are special, extremely rare hardware for a historical computer.  It is a collector's item, not a practical, performance decision.  I would like to have the Phoenix and it's accelerator just for those reasons.  Not because I want a bit faster A1000 to use.  I have plenty of faster or more capable Amigas but this Phoenix w/accellerator is valuable for reasons beyond performance and extra capabilities.
