Amiga 4000s on ebay now
« on: May 16, 2008, 06:42:28 AM »
There's a ton of Amiga 4000s on ebay right now ranging from $150-350 from one seller. Missing keyboards and mice, but otherwise seem like decent configurations. I think I may get one of them and sell off my 2000s and perhaps even my 1200 (probably keep that though, sentimental value). I can use the neat zorro cards and Amber chip scan doubler I have *and* have AGA, woot!

I have KS 3.0 in my A1200, and run WB 3.1 on it just fine.

I got the other one with a 3.1 CPU card, not sure how much difference that makes though.

As for the battery... he CLAIMS that most of them work fine. There are a few where he says they don't work, so, I figure an ebay scammer would try claiming they all work great. We'll see.

The listing for mine said 3.0 ROMs with 3.1 WorkBench, so, that's what I expect. But, we'll see.

As for the CPU... I vaguely recall reading that some later chips (68040 and 68060) aren't as compatible with classic Amiga software as the 68030 and earlier. So, I'll probably stick with the 68040 and the on-board CPU (didnt 4000s have eithe a 68020 or 68030 on board?). Good to know the difference though.
