Yes, it is expensive, but from memory, I spent
Can UKP
2000 = 857 1989 A2000 1 meg chip, 1 floppy, + 6% tax
500 = 214 1989 1084 monitor (not the 1084S, that was $50 more) +6% tax
300=128 1990 GVP Series II impact SCSI ram card, no tax
560 = 240 1990 8 * 1 meg SIMMs 80 ns, no tax
905 = 388 1990 Fujitsu 180 Meg SCSI HD, incl. tax
Totals
4440 Can = 1902 UKP
Amiga was ALWAYS too expensive. They could have AT LEAST put SIMM sockets on the A500, A600, A2000, and A1200 motherboards, but THEY WERE CROOKS!!!! (Reference is to Commodore BM)
I would still like to get the Megachip 2000 (at least $150) and an accelerator ($1200 Can + ram). Cripes!
And that, a 60Mhz 060 and a 604 (@240MHz?)!!!!
Then, I'm still using AOS 1.3.3!!! I'd like to get the 3.0 and a rom switcher, and AOS 3.5 or 3.9.
Then, I still don't get to see the beauty of AGA. Maybe, one day I'll find one still for sale at Soft(ware)Hut.
So, if I end up spending a bit much for an AmigaOne, I still spent more before. I'm shooting for the 1.3 GHz. I've put a partial pre-payment on an A1XE 800, so that they at least hold on to One for me. My plan is to put in 2 Gigs, and a RAID card (I want the fastest boot time possible :-D). I'm even going to try it, with booting off of a Compact Flash card, that ought to SHOCK the guy putting it together for me :-D :-D :-D Hahahaha!!
I wish they would just go ahead and make the OCS/ECS/AGA emulator. Pick the
Back 2 the Roots poll if you are interested.
AmigaOne! "Whatever, whenever wherever", I just prefer, "Everything"!!!!! :-D
