i have an upgraded a1200 i want a 3000 trade anyone?

Maybe... I have a 16mhz A3000D that is basically a stock later edition A3000 (not a ROM tower version), complete with a 1GB SCSI Quantum Fireball HD and I think 8MB Fast RAM and the full 2MB chip.  It's been a machine I've been meaning to build up and just never got around to.  It runs great, and has a nearly perfect desktop case.

Where are you located at?  I'm in Detroit, MI, USA.

what os does your 3000 have?

Hmm... Which do you want it to have?  I think I have a SuperKickstart, a 2.04 chip, and maybe a 3.1 chip.

I don't know which disks are original to the machine, as I've owned several 3000s and many other Amigas over the years, and stuff has gotten shuffled.  I'd give a set of originals appropriate for whichever ROM you wanted, though.  (Other than 2.04, I may only have a backup set of 2.04/2.1.)  If you want the SuperKickstart, I DO have an original SuperKickstart floppy, as well.  :-)

I think I also have a big 3-ring binder that originally came with the A3000.

the a1200 has os3.0 disks except install. that was normal from what ive heard.

Yeah, the only US A1200s that came with the install disk were the A1200HD models.  If you added a HD later, you were supposed to buy the Commodore "HD Upgrade Kit" which included the install disk and a few other goodies.  I don't think anyone ever bought the kit, though.  ;-)

Actually, a bonus for you, the machine is a 25mhz model A3000, not the 16mhz one.  

We'll move it over to e-mail and hopefully iron out the details.  (I have a few more detailed questions about the 1200, as you probably do about the 3000, as well.)

I PM'd you with my info.

@BoingBoss-

It's really all in what you want.  The A1200 with the 1230 is quite a bit more powerful than the stock A3000.  Plus it's a nice small desktop all-in-one case.  

The A3000 is a beautiful machine.  It's stronger and more stable, durable, and expandable.  

But I have plenty of big-box Amigas (including another A3000, 2 4000s, and I think even a 2000 or 2 somewhere in the closet), but I want a little tiny dynamo like my old A1200 that I sold years ago.  I know exactly what I'm looking for.  :-)

And it's a pretty fair deal.  Both machines would bring about an equal price on the open market.
