Just home with an Amiga 3000
« on: December 02, 2007, 10:29:27 PM »
Hate to brag, but I just got home with an A3000.  Paid €190 ($280) for it, and I believe it was a steal:



Extra floppy drive, a shopping bag full of disks (and the contents they may have).  But, prior to firing it up, it must be opened.  The first thing I noticed was this weird-looking PSU.  Anyone here know anything about this one?



The label says "TAIWAN LITON ELECTRONICS LTD".

Next thing I noticed was the computer's serial number: 5605.  Sounds low, doesn't it?

Further inside the computer I also discovered a beautiful, all-minty-looking Adriane ethernet card (BNC+TP), and a Cybervision64.

I haven't booted the machine yet, so I have no idea what kind of CPU it has, amount of memory, etc.  I'll hook it up tomorrow and have a look (to my defense: it's way past bed-time ;D)

Anyway, I just want to sum it up with a large YAY!  Finally I have a real A3000, real scandoubling and then some :-)

That "weird-looking PSU" is bog standard for an A3000. Enjoy it. :-)

I hope your PSU lives long.  What is the motherboard revision?  Does it have the ROM tower?
My 'UX, which is a very early one says serial number CA1002356, I wonder what the CA stands for....  Oh, and it's the James Bond Edition.  It has a sticker that says "C=007".
I can't get at my other 3000 to see what it says, but it's considerably newer.

Congratulations, well done  :bow:

I'm a bit envious, since A3000 is the only Amiga I miss in my collection.  :roll:

But hey, some day somone are gonna sell/give me one :-)

Maybe I'll sell you my plain Jane one.  I've often thought of selling it and the Meditator that is with it.  It's just collecting dust.  You really need an A3000.  The only thing I'd *maybe* rather have is an A3000T.

 My first thought was you paid too much,but the Adriana and Cybervision make it a better deal.Hopefully it has lots of memory.

 Now if someone would make reasonably priced PPC cards...$600 USD is not reasonable unless the card is at least a G4 800 Mhz with 2gig ram.
