Dick Van Dyke sells his Amiga 4000T on ebay
« on: January 15, 2008, 11:41:21 AM »
A little interesting thing has just come up on ebay.
Dick Van Dyke's A4000T
He will even autograph it if you want.
Cant say you see that on ebay very often. :)
Its currently $50 with a Xsurf, toaster/flyer and is powered by a 68040.

Just a little heads up, Im not the guy selling it. ;-)

Would there be any way to tell if it's a Commodore or an Amiga Tech A4000T without the side and front, or are they exactly the same?

Well my A4000T (Amiga Tech) has a sticker on the back above the PSU saying what it is, I would guess the Commodore one would have the same and would clearly show which one it was.
Someone should ask about the missing bits of case though, I cant think he runs it like that.

It is a bit confusing if it is running a 68040, or a 68060, as further down the description it states it has the 060.

Yeah it seems they wrote a description and then cut and pasted hardware descriptions for each card from a website (amiga.resource or the AHB probably)
I read it as having a 68040.

Hi anivichano, thanks for making an account here to sort it out.

Im sure it was a bit depressing reading the people thinking the A4KT was a fake.
And thanks for clearing up about the 040/060 thing. The only reason I didnt e-mail is because Im not going to bid. (Its cool and all but you are probably looking at $1000+ and I already have an A4000T)

I saw one reply you did to someone saying you could do a photograph of Dick signing the Amiga, I think that would be enough for anyone to prove its really his (assuming the picture wasnt at an Amiga show in the 90's ;-) )
So if you did provide that Im sure it would be enough.
Its just signatures can be faked so easily.

Its dead sad that DVD is selling his miggy though, I guess 50Mhz just aint enough to do 3D stuff at HD resolution. :)

Thanks again for popping by and I hope you get top dollar for it (2000+ maybe)

I hope ebay gets it all sorted.

PS: If you do get a pic of him signing the computer it would be so cool if you could post a copy of it. ;-)

(although it would probably be wise to take a different photo to upload as I bet everyone will sign their A4000T's and flogging them as "owned by DVD")
