FOR SALE: A2000 Toaster fully loaded, 040, 2MB chip, retina

[sdyates]

Before I list on ebay -- which I would prefer not to do, I would like to see if anyone would want to purchase the following Amiga:

Amiga 2000
+ 18 MB RAM
+ 2MB Chip ram board (forgot what it is called: its a small board that fits over the chip and replaces it.
+ 68040 RCS board with 8MB Ram: Sysinfo says it is 1.10 faster than a stock A4000
+ Video toaster 4.1 (C) 1995)
+ Retina Video card: can get details later...
+ A2091 SCSI card
+ Keyboard & mouse

This system works well. Just had it hocked up and connected to a couple of video cams and the results were great. Lightwave also rendered very well -- just like using a modern system!

I can't pull the items and sell them piece by piece: its a good system and everything works well. I will only sell as a complete system. I figure shipping will cost around $80, though shipping will be free if someone wants to pick up. I am in the Toronto area. The box is heavy, very heavy.

Make me an offer and we can go from there.

I will start snapping up photos later today for those interested in viuals

My previous buyer went for his beloved A1200 instead. So, once again, I have this wonderful A2000 for sale.

I can put up on web cam if anyone wants to see details while it is running.

If I don't have any solid leads by next Sunday, I will post on ebay -- no one wants that no do they

ciao

they made Video Toasters in 1995?

Newtek started out with the Amiga to build a Video toaster 2000 in 1991 and then in 1993 came out with the updated Video toaster 4000 for use in the A4000 and then the non liner VT Flyer that I use still today in 1994. Newtek only recently in 2001 made the toaster available to the PC market.

No the PC toaster was released in 1999.

his happened in 1999 with the introduction of the new Video Toaster® - a complete uncompressed digital video production studio. The new Video Toaster® is designed to take advantage of the incredible improvements in the processing speed of today's PCs. Because of this unique approach, NewTek is able to exploit all of the available computer power to deliver amazing video production results at an unprecedented price.

The VT[2] was released in 2001.

The Amiga toaster debuted in 1990.

This goal reached fruition in October 1990, when NewTek shipped the Amiga Video Toaster®. The Video Toaster® evolved from a simple premise: provide all the tools necessary to create broadcast-quality television in a single, accessible device. Not surprisingly, the established broadcast video industry greeted the Video Toaster® with skepticism, at best. Despite these marketing challenges, the Video Toaster® caught on with an enormous range of people who shared a desire to "make TV". It literally replaced hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment for $5,000, and put sophisticated skills and tools into the hands of "average" people - from high school students to professional event videographers.
