Want the ultimate Amiga game machine?

Damn I must say you have me beat!  I own all Amiga models except for CDTV, and the A4000T.  I have four A4000 also and sent one off the amiga.fr for repairs.  But it seems their site is down?

Anyway do you have a A3000T manual for sale?  I am after one.

Hey I might be able to fix your CDTV issue. Let me check...

And yes, I do have an A3000T manual - they're in pretty good shape.

I was going to list it on eBay tomorrow, but what you think it's worth? I have no clue. If you give me your state and zip I can tell you what it would cost to ship the above (or just the first 2 manuals if you prefer) to you.

I also have a working A3000T-040 here, but it has no powersupply - I tested it with the other 3000T-040 I sold on eBay, then bought a 3000T power supply from Centsible which arrived dead - returned it and they never would answer my emails, send me a new PS, give me a store credit, tell me to bugger off, or anything... I ended up being out $80 for the PS, and $25 * 2 for the shipping both ways.

To add insult to injury, 2 months later they listed another 3000T PS on their site and sold it! Grr...

Centsible has lost out on about $2000 worth of purchases from me in the past year and a half because of that - and I tell everyone who asks me that they should buy from anywhere besides them.

Whoops there I go off on a rant again.

Lemme know if the above manuals are of interest to you. I also have the WB2.1 manuals that come with it, but I think it would just be a waste of money to ship them as well.

It would seem that Amigas are worse than Pokemon - you gotta get 'em all! (and I thought having 5 was bad!).

Anyway, is there a mouse & keyboard for XBox yet? (I don't bother to keep up with that stuff these days).  My UAE setup is more of an emulated full amiga, rather than just running an Amiga emulator ;-)

[CatHerder]

Yeah, an XBox is just a pc with a custom video chipset inside a nifty case. There's everything you can imagine for it. :-)

And I don't collect Amigas - I just happened to clean out the back stock room from a former retailer in Canada. When I actually owned and used Amigas, I used to have 2 or 3 and always got the newest models soon as they came out (had the 3rd A3000 in Canada according to Duncan Fraiser, VP of Commodore Canada at that time. My buddy had the very first 4000/040 that {bleep}... :-D

Of course, that meant I had a flakey 3000 that got replaced two times... but it was nifty at the time! lol

I can't use Amigas now because they just don't do what I need them to do (Photoshop, Flash, mySQL, etc). But my heart is still in it.

Catherder: LOL!!!! That is a awesome collection!!! I love the 3000T.

Yes tell me about it!  I have been into Amiga since 1987.  I could never afford anything but the lowly Amigas like the A1000 and A500.  I actually sold my A1000 to buy a A500 because I could not afford to get Fast Ram for my A1000!  The A500 had the cheaper A501 type ram but for the A1000 you had to buy the zorro side car RAM which was a arm and a leg.  Anyway I recently decided it would be cool to start collecting all the Amiga models since I had a few anyhow!    For me the ultimate would be to get a hold of the original Commodore A4000T!!  Not the AT one.

I also collect Atari computers too.  (8-bit to ST)

Just thought I'd post an update.

Work is progressing on the emulating the Amiga and AmigaCD32 on your XBox FAQ. It should be available sometime soon(ish). (Perfect solution for rev 1.1 to rev 1.5 XBox owners)

We don't know enough about the rev 1.6 XBox units to safely state if this works 100% with them as well or not -- but we'll know in a week as we're in the middle of working with one right now.
