More money then sense?

I just picked this up:

I didn't really need it but always wanted one.  I hope the accellerator is worth the extra $$ over buying one refurb from amikit.

The accelerator is totally worth it I'm stuck in 030 land

Hope you have a little more money. This part is untrue:

"Also comes with Commodor vga adapter so you can plug in any LCD monitor (which you can see here)"

Most monitors won't do 15Khz which rules out most games.

You also may want to get a clockport Subway USB. That is the best thing I bought for my A1200.

Welcome to the A1200!

I was planning on trying to find a $450 price range 4000 but opted for this because of the condition. He sent me pics that pushed me over. I just uploaded em:

An Amikit refurb speced around $300ish plus shipping to me so on the surface I paid $100 for the accelerator if all checks out. At least that was my rationalization.

Oh, its a real Commodore too... nice...

I think the commodore ones don't have the video bugs in multiscan mode like mine that was NOS.

Yeah I'm crossing my fingers on one of my 4 LCDs works.  My first add-on I'm thinking is a PCMCIA network card at amikit. I think it's around $36. Would tracking down a subway USB make more sense?  Oh and depending on the hard drive life one of those IDE to CF adaptors.

I have the wireless network card from amigakit and it really has worked well for me with miamiDX.

I have never tried the networking over USB, but I don't believe there are any wireless adapters. Just wired.

Subway is good, but it still runs off a port designed for a clock. So I think for best results you probably want both. I'm sure PCMCIA is less CPU overhead. Subway does bog down the system.  IDE to CF is nice too

I went with a SSD but its actually slower than CF so I should switch back.

I received it today and am having some trouble. It doesn't boot some times and i have had power cut off. I suspect hard drive issues may be possibly causing it at times and something else which caused it to drop power all together. A few times I thought it was dead for sure but a few minutes later with a retry and it would work.

I have an IDE to compact flash adaptor coming Saturday to cure any possible issues with the hard drive but I will have to continue troubleshooting what else is wrong. Possibly an a500 power supply is needed with that 040 card. I read they have more juice. It's certainly more touchy then I expected even though the case is immaculate.

See if you can get this power supply... its really nice...
