Woooooot
« on: January 27, 2007, 01:33:15 PM »
Wow - I have been bleating to my lil bro for months now to get him to pay me back at least some of the £1k he owes me, as I want to get an Amy.  He just sent me an email saying as a hes bought me an AMY and is having it shipped to me!!! (Pressie==hes knocking off the cost from what he owes, but all the same its fantastic)

Who knew he had it in him?  He gave me the following specs (but as hes a bit of a computer gimp its not much) - It is an A4000D with a hdd and 030/50 with fully populated ram and DVDRom.  He don't know which Roms or OS its running but he paid £200 for it at a computer sale in London so it can't be bad.

Now I really cannot wait :) oh yey is me indeed .... yipppeeeee

Hi

He saw it working and running the AmigaOS so its gotta be pretty good condition (first job I'll do is move the batt off the board and 'cell' it for future.

He says its got all its ram sockets full on the board so I guess that means 2/16mb configuration.  if it is a 50MHz 030 then its probably a standard board without the ram sockets :( but will have to look for a 060 or PPC when my tax return arrives in march.

no I meant I believe its probably an after market 030 upgrade
something like the blizzard ones.  Its def a 50Mhz but unsure which and thats the only ones I remember - maybe Ill get lucky and its a nice juicy one, but for £200 I ain't gonna complain :)

will have to get a full spec rundown when she turns up, the guy who sold it to him provided his email so I have sent a request to know what she is exactly....

now to think about an RTG vid card, and get that Samsung SM940MW for her (and for my DVD and TV) :)

hmmm now where to put her as my bedroom ain't huge and she must stay near me......

Yep - the picassoIV seems popular but is the 18mb ram gonna be enuff to use properly?  (of course in March I will go hunting for a good accell with 128MB) but until then shell be on my std vga LCD.....
