FA Tekmagic 68060 few hours left.

It's a 68060, a pentium 1 equivalent and therefore worth the same : $0. People please, stop burning money. Spend it on the homeless if you can't stand to have it.

Hell Labs isn't an Amiga owner, he's just sad because he can't afford one and so is of the opinion they should be given away.

It's kind of funny, in one of his posts you've got "Amigas suck and aren't worth anything" and in another "I hope there are still 4000T's available when I can afford one."

Children, so mercurial!

Actually, I have an amiga 500, and an efika. Just face up to the fact that this is old, old, old tech that's only useful today as a games console (and copying data from old to new systems), and therefore only worth the same as a games console. I payed £10 for my snes. A 68060 on a pcb isn't worth anything to anyone other than nutters. if you need the performance that much you'd pay $$$, just use winuae and have something many times faster on a low end netbook.


The amiga market is a joke.

But the auction isn't for a 68060, it's for a card that happens to have a 68060 on it, which is worth a darn sight more.

Amiga owners must surely be aware by now that just because an Amiga component is similar spec to a PC component that's 5 million times more common, doesn't mean the Amiga component is worth the same?

I have a P1 on a card, perhaps that's worth a lot of money too?

I'd actually say demand for an old pentium is higher. A very small amount of todays computer users ever used amigas for anything other than a games console, and the total number of computer users in 1994 is a mere fraction of today. One person i've spoke to was very surprised his A500 was actually a computer. He was actually wondering why they put a keyboard on it "when none of the games used it". He was also surprised it came with a mouse.

In comparison, a few of my friends use pentium 1/windows 98/crt monitor setups even today. That way they save to money thats better spent on beer and guitars and things, and they can run modern web browsers and word processors to boot.

The daft cost of accelerator cards or the amiga market is quite simply, dumb. These systems are far outclassed in ability and ease of use by even the most crap celeron system, the one thing that they are actually useful for is games. Remember, £10 snes.
