DONT BOTHER!

They are a fiddle to set up and use, it is an entirely
dissapointing experience - you might as well just get
an LCD panel for your existing A1200 and a small suitcase
to "lug" it around OR spend it on a circa 400Mhz PC running Amiga Forever.

I agree as a useful machine they totally suck...they use to much power to make them truely portable...and they weigh a ton.

But as a collectors item! now thats a differant story... I would almost gaurentee in 10 years that thing will go up in value 5 fold or more... they have some value as an antique of computing history. and in that reguard I'd gladly fork over a couple hundred bucks to own on.

your entirely right as a functional machine they are not... but as a purchase I think its well worth it.

Maybe it'd come in useful for Dom Jolly to go with his mobile fone ;-)

@carls (and apologies for going even further offtopic)

There was some other company making "luggable" A4000 machines.


Hmm, never saw such a thing at the time.  After the SP thing fell through I was looking into using shock-mounted racks (like some musicians use for their rack-mount effects and such).  Couldn't find a rack-mount case for the A4000, though there was one produced for the A2000.  Considered moving the Toaster/Flyer to my A2000, but would have needed an accellerator, which I'd just bought for the A4000...

Then the flood of '97 came to Grand Forks, ND, and I ended up relocating to Fargo/Moorhead, and my Toaster/Flyer is still a desktop thing.

420Dude,

When Wayne said feed the kitty, I don't think that's what he had in mind.

It remembers of my SIMATIC PG Pentium II PLC programmer... It is a really heavy "luggage" case ;-)

The "luggable" A4000 was developed by Quikpak. A  description can be found at Amiga Interactive Guide
