I'm downsizing my Amiga collection, so my A4000 parts are up for auction. The A4000 itself will be for sale soon, once I have taken the parts out permanently and taken photos.

but why? no more amigas?

I might bid on an item or two.  I'm going to be in the UK from the 23rd Sep to 1st Oct, so if I win something you can send it to my cousin's address in Wales and I can take it back to the USA with me.  Saves on postage.  :-)

My A4000 sits upstairs mostly unused. When I do use it, it's to play WHDLoad games or T-Zer0. It's all very well having a massively upgraded Amiga with a pretty Workbench, but what's the point when it's just used as a launcher for games?

So I have bought a NOS A1200 and a Blizzard 1230. Should be perfect for WHDLoad games and T-Zer0!

That's fine, but if you do win anything and want me to ship it to your cousin please PM me to let me know which item you bought. I usually only ship to the address the PayPal account is registered to, but will make an exception for established and trustworthy a.org members such as yourself.

Thanks.  I appreciate that.  I'm a tight git in these auctions though, so I doubt if I win, but I might help drive the price up a bit for you.  ;-)

oh yeah... the A1200_whdload route... done that too with a 1230/50 too...  :-D but I tinkered a little  :lol:

I've seen your A1200. It's amazing! I'm going to keep this machine as stock as possible. I'm going to put a CF adapter on the internal IDE port with a 128MB card to boot the machine and run AGS and mount a PCMCIA CF reader with a 4GB card, which will contain all of the games :-D

I just hope T-Zer0 runs ok on a 1230...

AGS... I don't remember it, thanks moto  :lol:

Why not spoil yourself?

Keep that system just for WHDLoad games. WB runs so much faster with a 060 and the added desktop space thanks to GFX board makes it much easier to work on the system when suffling files around etc.

Think twice before selling it. I didnt two times before, so now Im on my third A4000 wich I hope I will never sell (because it is going to be so f'n expensive to buy it back to the state it is in if I would want a hi-end Amiga again)  :-)

Careful with US customs and immigration, they will anal probe you real good for having something electronic based with you

A couple of reasons really. I feel bad knowing that such a powerful Amiga is going to waste. Also, because of its size I can't have it downstairs, and I want a system downstairs so I can play in the lounge. Finally, I have a lot of money tied up in that system which I really can't justify.

I won't be using Workbench ;-)

Well it's too late now - the stuff is on eBay and I have already bought replacement gear ;-) But I have thought very hard about it, and I feel confident that I am making the right decision. I have got the "big-box-bug" out of my system and I no longer get a kick out of having one just for the sake of it. I want a compact, fun system that I will actually use, and for me the ideal machine for that is the A1200 with a 1230.

Hey, Moto, is the Arxon also a FlickerFixer or just a ScanDoubler?

Cheers

@Gavilan
I think it is just a ScanDoubler.
