Eyetech AmigaOne Micro A1C - North America

[Themamboman]

Hello fellow Amigans!

It's time for me to part with my final Amiga computer: An Eyetech
Micro Amiga A1C. It's a fantastic little machine: 800Mhz PowerPC 750FX G3
processor. It's in a black, mini-ITX case that sports an optical drive
and a 2.5" HDD.

I'll try on the Amiga forums first before heading to Feebay.

It comes with Amiga OS4.1 installed. It has been updated to Update 6, plus
the AmiUpdates since. Everything works (USB on the back, plus Ethernet),
and feels quite snappy. It boots quickly and supports multiple resolutions.
The Audio built-in sounds great! The PCI card is currently empty, but if
the buyer is interested, I'll include a PCI card with USB and SATA controllers.

I've not tested this PCI card with this Amiga but it was reported to work with the full
sized AmigaOne (I used to have one) and it was listed on the intuitionbase.com website
under HW compatible cards. It would need a PCI angle adapter if the motherboard was
kept in this same case.

Before shipping, I'll make sure everything is updated to the latest software
before I unregister the login with AmiUpdate.

It was originally shipped to me from the Netherlands. The serial number is
included so you can register online for future updates.

I've thoroughly enjoyed using it but I have to make room in my computer room and I just don't have the time to play with it anymore.

Included software:

AmiCygnix, with word processor installed
Timberwolf Firefox web browser
OWB web browser
WHDLoad and many many games
An enormous library of mod tunes
and lots of other software. This machine is loaded!

I'm in North America, so I'd prefer to ship to North America to keep shipping
times and prices down. The power supply is switching so it was good with
North American power standards as well as European.

Here are pictures that the former owner used in his Amibay listing. I can take
updated pictures if you need (but it won't really show any difference).

The only thing not working on the system is the front USB connections. It turns out that
the USB cable that connects them to the header on the motherboard is just too short.

I had a spare USB hub I was using with it.

I'm willing to sell this item for $495 USD, which is much less than I spent to get it. Shipping within the USA will probably be around $30 or so, and I can get insurance too if you want. That will probably be about $10.

Ask any questions if you want!

Thanks!

Seems like a great price compared to some of the other prices I have seen !

I just checked the Acube website and they are still out of stock for SAM boards, so getting a used machine like this is one of the few, affordable ways to get into NextGen hardware.

I wonder if Acube will ever get any boards back in stock?

Yes pretty good value for your money, considering you get full computer (cdrom/hd/psu/cabinet) not just a accelerator card for that price.

Onboard graphics might not be the best, due lack graphic memory, but it should be manageable.
But is should enable 3D games to run, so its not totally useless.

And its G3 not G4, G4 has most deficiently a advantage when playing videos.

A great little computer for some one interested I think, I have not seen a lot complaints about it. I belive it was the last computer from Eyetech this might have some thing to do with it.

How ever there is some indications that they are working on a Economy version of Sam460.

Time will show when this ready, little is know about it.

I guess I will put this one on Ebay then.

Advertise it on Amibay first at the price you want.  There's no fees there and you should get the price your asking.

I decided to forego Amibay.

It's on Ebay now if anyone wants to go for it:
