I’m letting anyone interested know that I’m auctioning all of my Amiga gear on eBay. I’ve been using an Amiga since 1994 when I bought a used A500 and have been a closet Amiga Nut ever since. I just don’t have time anymore. For the next two weeks or so I’ll put up over 100 Amiga related items. Over ¾ of it is some type of hardware. Most is for the A2000 but there are some A500 items and some crossovers, such as a couple of Chinon High Density Disk Drives (a FB-357A and a FZ-357A). There are some accelerators ( a GVP G-Force 030 Combo 50 MHz with 16 Mb Ram, an A2030 at 25MHz with 4 Mb, a GVP Impact A3001 & RAM32 50 Mhz with 32 Mb Ram on a Ram32 Card-Yes it really uses all 32 Mb, a non-working GVP G-Force 040 Combo with No Ram-I bought this on eBay and it didn’t work, and a GVP A530 40 Mhz Accelerator). I have SCSI controllers (one of my GVPs has a good –see below-Guru-ROM), mice, keyboards, over 500 disks, SCSI cables, Zip & Jaz Drives (internal & external), graphics cards (a Cybervision 64/3D Mk-II & a Piccolo SD64), a couple of flicker fixers (one is an A2320 and the other is an ICD Flicker Free Video that I left hooked up to my backup A2000 motherboard), three A2000 motherboards (two version 6s and one version 4), one A500 version 5 board, and a lot more. I’m not going to list it all here because I’m having enough trouble putting it all up on eBay. I will be very straightforward about how the item was used and whether I tested it or if it doesn’t work (I only have a few of those items). I will let everyone know that I have taken very good care of my hardware. The only things I don’t have are cases for the motherboards. I tended to try to stuff as many devices as I could into my machines and ended up cutting up the boxes so things would fit; or so the cases would fit into a bigger box. My last project involved shoving my system into an old Compaq server tower. I cut, sawed, grinded, soldered, and welded to my heart’s content. I ended up (I used a Buddha Flash Phoenix Edition that is in the auction by the way, the A3001 Card, and a GVP SCSI controller with a Guru-Rom) with 3 CD Writers, a 16GB Compact Flash Card, 4 Hard Drives, two floppy Drives, my A2320 Flicker Fixer, the Piccolo Card, a DKB Megachip, a Zip 100 Drive, and using a Bigfoot power supply along with a 250 Watt PC Power supply for some of the devices. It was a great system, but weighed a ton; so there you are, no cases are going to be sold, they’re to hacked up. As I said, though, I was always very careful with my hardware and obsessive about keeping it clean. The only piece I ever had go bad was a v6.13 Guru-ROM Chip. I think I messed up the ROM programming, but I’m even selling the Guru-ROM along with all the equipment I bought to reprogram it and never had the time to figure out how to do it.I will miss tweaking and working with my Amiga, but I have way to much going on now; so here’s to all the other Amiga Nuts (that’s what my brother called me after he gave it up) out there. and I hope some of this will give you as much joy as it did me.
