I found my HOLIEST OF GRAILS today!!!!!
« on: November 14, 2010, 09:45:10 AM »
Well, just got back from a 5+ hour road trip and was it worth it!

Ended up getting the stuff for the going price of a stock A4000 on Ebay:

2-3 large boxes of hardware loaded with cards, etc.  (will dig thru these tommorow.)
but I spotted a bunch of Individual Computers boxes, tbc's, toasters and a A2065.  Also spotted a cool Wizard 3-button mouse, octopus cable, etc.)

A1200  that I was told had an accelerator and flixer fixer and other goodies.

SCSI Tower full of drives, another full of TBC's.

Monitors (1942, 1084s, 1080 and a really nice CEI 1962 Multisync)


All of this was really cool but then my jaw was about to drop..............

Included was a A4000 toaster/flyer system that showed a '060 when I booted it up.......but I was really shocked when I popped open the case and found a
CYBERSTORM PPC 604e/50mhz 68060 with 128megs of ram.  
(I will check specs of PPC tomorrow)  ** IT'S A 233!**

Woo-Hoo!!!! I have been dreaming of a setup like this for years!!!  

Amazing that you can still find good Amiga gear in the wild!  However, I really need to tone it down.... this is becoming an obsession. :)

Yeah Tone, I hear what you're saying.

I found that the only way to find good Amiga stuff without paying crazy Ebay prices is to just keep finding bulk deals and then search through the haystack looking for the golden needles.

Now I need to start selling some of the excess and just keep enough for spares.

Wow. Some at that kit is obviously recent. The previous owner is either 1) divorced, 2) dead, 3) fed up with the Amiga, or 4) still reeling from the burglary and not sure how to value his Amiga kit on the insurance forms. It really does sound too good to be true. Crazy world.


You were close........ Getting married!
