Amiga 4000D mobo hard to find?

Man, you just missed a deal on FleaBay!!  A 4000 mobo with 3640, daughter card for $100 buy it now. I almost got it but I didn't need it.  The 4000 MBs typically sell for $150 - $200 on the net, so they are expensive.  What you could do to save some cash is get one from Europe.  It will work 100% in the states, all you need to do is set the NTSC jumper and you are all set.  I built up a 4000 myself like you are, took me a few years to get all the parts! See my photo album for a pic of it.

The 4000 is my favorite Amiga!  I have four of them.

I agree the 3640 040 is sllooowww on the 4000.  But for the time being if you can get one for cheap go ahead, but you will want a card with local mem on it.  I have a GVP-m 4060 and I got it running at 66Mhz, it rocks.

Good luck!

I have almost all the Amigas and the Flagship Amiga would have to be the 4000.  It was the glory computer every Amigan dreamed about.  My first Amiga was the 1000.  Then I moved onto the 500 (as it was cheaper to be able to get more memory!), then I got the 2000, then I got a 4000!  I later obtained a 3000, 1200, 600 and finally the CD32.  I actually own all of these right now.  I have four 4000 computers in mint condition and they run great.  The 4000 is a true 32-bit computer, unlike the 2000.  Plus it looks sexier than the 2000.
