are we still sharing crazy ebay postings?

I saw that listing to.   It was insanity for the price. I thought they would stop prices like that.

"They" whom?  Why?  Let people sink on their own.  He's not ripping off anyone but himself or some dumb schmuck who falls for it.

#side note - I want to falcon punch the next person who says "I can't test it because I don't have a monitor", especially for A3000's.  Plug the composite plug into your TV, you $@#)$@.  

In the nuts.  I'd bet half the time they know or are pretty certain the stuff doesn't work.  I bet there are a couple who legitimately don't have a TV.  The only reason I have a TV is the roomie, but even then two of my PC monitors have composite and S-video input.

I don't know if this is legit or not, but it seems this item pops up from time-to-time.

Maybe it's the Apple-world equivalent to the ultra-mega-supreme A4000T?

SLAAAAAAAAP!

18 bids, and that's not even one of the good models.  Geeze!  For about .02 seconds, I almost believed that Gamecube link, haha.  

My first questions is, how many of those bids are shills?  My second question is, what would that actually accomplish?

Anyway, yeah, the link was pretty believable up two the third finding.  I could imagine someone stashing money in strange places.  I have.  Hell, I used to hide condoms in my cable tuner box when I lived at home.  Even the key would be an acceptable find.

I draw the line, however, at the cash in the N64 inside!!

[LoadWB]

...just because it's a good deal doesn't mean I should buy it :crazy:

Ain't that the truth.  Let me know how you work that out, maybe I can get that to work on myself.

[LoadWB]

Isn't that on torrent??

"Reason for the high price is that I am trying to raise money to get my girlfriend new (.)(.) for Christmas."

Well then, a worthy investment!  :p

If I'm putting up $3,400, I want more than just the 1000.  I'm probably gonna want a peek at the investment.

So ronery...

It's not Amiga, but all y'all have GOT to see this knucklehead!

And yes, he has opened the drive!

Not working for much longer!  From the "cold war era?"  My history must be a little rusty...

[LoadWB]

I guess if the cold war era was circa 1986, then that would be true.  That is when that drive was manufactured.  However, it appears that is a 5MB drive, not a 500MB drive.  It looks like the one used by CBM for their first hard drives for the C64.

The IC density made me question its size, though I wasn't going to try to read all the blurry photos.  He's just funny all-around.

[LoadWB]

I recognize that green book sitting flat on the Apple ][ monitor.  I had one I wore out almost as badly as I wore out my Commodore 64 Programmer's Reference Guide.  Sadly, I loaned it out to a "friend" who never returned it.

[LoadWB]

If it's just KS1.3 split across 4 eproms then it's should be quite easy to replicate i'd have thought? I can see any physical mods on the MB.

Is it possible to split KS3.1 across four ROMs for a 1000?

[LoadWB]

yep, WinHex would do it, that's pretty much how you make two physical roms for an a1200 or a4000 from a single rom file. Just need to know which eproms are compatible and work out what address to split them at.

EDIT: Hmm, more info here - looks like you also need to bridge W2 & W4 which is easy.

Much thanks!

[LoadWB]

Oh yeah, I seen it when it wasn't sold yet. Then I thought to myself, buy this to make one of my 500's a 1200 ... what am I thinking .. I am getting better at hoard control :laughing:

Right!  Mike pointed out a RAM card for the A3000 at Amiga30 and that my Amiga 3000 is in serious need of work... but I just couldn't do it.  Even though it was $80 (or $100, whichever) I had to draw the line on the money I was spending.  I'm actually glad someone else got it, as it was a great find and a really good deal, but I'll find something else later on when it's more practical timing.

There are a bunch of desktops up, too.  Nice looking ones.

[LoadWB]

You'd be surprised at the number of items which get re-listed at higher prices.  Some people are real rubes.  Then there's the guy about six months ago who was flogging his Atari 1040ST -- started at $550, then $475, then $425, then $350, then $225 (IIRC,) then $150 when it finally sold on a best offer.

*sigh*  I don't know why, but I feel compelled to get an ST or Falcon.  I can't imagine I would actually use it for anything, though.
