Atari Falcon030 up for auction

[Crumb]

I guess it will sell for more than the normal price of a second hand Falcon as it's in good state... so I bet it will reach more than 250€ easily :-)

250€ ? why?
Any Amigan with functionality in mind would be better off spending around 100€ getting a Blizz 1230IV - much faster @ 50mhz - and another 50€ for an A1200 + hdd (+ midi?) ...

If we used any logic, we would never pay 100€ for a crap 50Mhz cpu. And an amigan with functionality in mind would buy an Efika instead of that.

FYI you can play MP3 at 16bit and full quality with Atari Falcon's DSP (you may have to make a small change so it outputs sound at 44Khz instead of 48Khz so it doesn't have to resample). Try to do that with a Blizzard030.

An Amigan would buy a Falcon because it's a great demoscene machine :-)

Atari OS sucks, but Atari demos are great :-)

You also have 060 Atari Falcon accelerators much faster than Amiga accelerators.

Just check out Starstruk running on a 060/66Mhz Atari Falcon:

I would love if Atari Falcon could run AROS m68k...

@AmigaHeretic

and last Efika I touched was running MorphOS fast and smoothly.
