? on value of an 040 for a 2000?

[sprocket]

What's a progressive peripherals 040 2000 card with 32 megs installed worth?

[spihunter]

About $100 USD

Seriously, thats what mine sold for a year ago.

id say at least 200 us l been trying to buy a cpu card for my amiga 4000 project damm prices have gone silly.

 :-D

It depends what you want. You can get a 25MHz A3640 for under $80. I bought a 40MHz Apollo 4040 last month for $125. It's the Cyberstorm cards which demand big bucks.

Which model is is? What speed is the 040?

Geez.  $100?  I'd kill for a 040 for a 2000 (or at least I would have before I got a 060  :-D )

A3640s are a bad example.  They are problematic.
And no one with an A3000D in it's original case is going to buy one (unless of course they run their A3000D outside around here in January), so the market is smaller.

It depends on how compatible the card is, as it is a card from the "early days" ´Beeing limited to 32 MB is a drawback as well. On the positive side the RAM banks are already fully populted so the buyer does not have to search for 4 MB simms.
In any case 100$ is too little unless the there ar  huge compatibility issues. If it were a blizzard 2040 it won't go for under 200 EUR, so I guess 100 EUR / 150 $ would be a good price. Maybe even a little bit more when you can confirm that it runs well with "modern" OS and Software.

This card only comes one way...

Processor:     040@33Mhz
FPU:    Internal
MMU:    Internal
Max Ram:    32MB
Ram Type:    8 x 32pin SIMM slots.

(the cooler fan is in place on mine...I assume they've moved it out of place in the images at the above link to see the processor)

This one is populated with 32 mb of ram and the jumpers are configured to auto configure the first 2 megs of ram.

It can be configured to auto configure 2-8 megs of ram at startup.  I think I have a disk around here too so I assume there's software to make the remaining ram available.

32 didn't seem so limited to me...I mean it would be great for most things.

so I guess 100 EUR / 150 $ would be a good price. Maybe even a little bit more when you can confirm that it runs well with "modern" OS and Software.

The 2000 it is in has 2.1 on it.  It has been used with Toaster (2000) software as well as a PAR, Sunrize sound board and various other animation and graphically heavy uses.

I don't have a CD rom in that machine so putting 3.9 on it to test would require ROMs and a CD and I'm afraid getting 3.x ROMs to test 3.1-3.9 isn't practical.

Considering the above software mentions I wouldn't anticipate any issues.

I recently sold a G-Force 030 X 25 with 5 megs of ram for $85 buy it now (with manual and disk) and it was snapped up quickly so I would say yours is worth more.  I had bought it for $100, took 8 megs of ram out of it (for a G-Force 030 x 50 I needed ram for), and then resold it.

Yeah, I'm thinking Lemmink is close with his mention of $150+...I figure with the 32megs on the card, a 33 Mhz 040 is worth $150-165.  2000 accelerators seem more scarce these days to me...as they were produced mid to late 80s.

My understanding is that there is an advantage to the processor slot in a 2000 having quicker access to ram anyway.

The next stop is an 060 card and those go for quite a bit more than that so this seems reasonable.

btw, I do have a GVP 030 card with scsi and 1 SIMM of ram on it but haven't been able to get it to function.

I'd be interested if anyone thinks a "pig in a poke" like that is worth anything?  It still may be repairable...I just haven't figured out what the problem is yet.  kind of doubt it's worth tracking down a GVP repair though.

[spihunter]

Mine only went for $100 because it was the PP&S board that you had to do all the tricks to load all the memory. It was not autoconfig.

Maybe I sold it for $125. I cant remember back that far :lol:

[sandpiper]

Yes, you have to do some tricks to get the memory configured. Use a program like FastExec to to this because the bundled software does not work with later versions of the OS (3.x). Once you get it configured, it is an excellent card. I probably still have my settings around somewhere...

I bought one of these in the late '90s for about $200 and sold it a few years later for about the same amount when I upgraded. It is probably worth at least the same amount now with the shortage of accelerators out there.
