Easy : It lack the scsi cable and spacers !!

The spacers that are missing are the same as are on the A3640 that you would be taking out to replace with the MKI.  The other spacers are included.  The SCSI cable is a generic cable that can be picked up online for next to nothing.  I wouldn't say that these items are deal killers by any means.

The original price I was asking for this accelerator was a break even price for me.  It is now being listed for a price that has me taking a loss.  If I can't get what I am now asking I will just keep it and the 67 people that were watching it the first time I listed it can just continue running a slower Amiga.

The reason I am selling it is because I had the motherboard go bad on the A4000 I was going to put it in.  I am not interested in getting another A4000 to use this in as my interests at this time are more with A3000,s and A2000's which the MKI won't fit in.  I have an A4000D that I am planning on selling in the future and other than that I only have A4000T's which are already 060 machines.  I just don't need the MKI.

I spent big bucks for 060 card and Amiga graphics card  a couple of years ago;enough to pay for SAM 44ep AND AmigaOS4.1 and nice dinner !

 Today for best performance for $ in Amiga Sam looks more sensible than spending the same amount on old hardware.

 My thought on PPC upgrade cards is also silly to pay more than half the price of SAM .   :roll:

It might be silly to pay more than half the price of SAM, but then SAM ain't an Amiga & 4.1 will not run on Classic!  :roll:

Then again,after you've gone & bought OS4 for your Classic Amiga, wtf are you gunno do with it anyway? It's absolutely useless @ doing anything other than Booting to Desktop!  :lol:

I'm kinda shocked you're worried about my things I buy and not bidding your $20 for ReDrum's Ramsey 07.  Oh, maybe because it's already over $100.  Duh, stupid me.


I'm shocked that you, Danny, so much as would write something like this with such shallow accusations.

First of all I was never worried. Nor am I now...

Second of all, it's a free market and I chose to privately "bid" $20 here on A.org for your Ramsey07 because you bought it for that much on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230300884050 and because we all know that names are mangled in the auction pages, for those wanting to verify this just check out for the item ID (230300884050) here: http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2&ftab=FeedbackAsBuyer&userid=dannyp3903&iid=-1&de=off&items=200&page=2 - you might have to scroll a couple pages because Danny is a busy boy and tada: Danny's indeed our buyer) and especially considering the fact that you TOLD ME it didn't work for you as per your private mails. I was offering to basically wipe out your expenditures: as if it hadn't cost you anything to just try out the chip.

Third and most importantly, you forgot before writing your failed diatribe that I have all your private mails to prove how YOU KNEW FULL WELL that your Ramsey07 DID NOT WORK, yet you listed it on ebay along with all those other chips (perhaps using all those other chips as "smoke") for $120 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200271435548) and later for $100 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200285033915), and without saying a single word about the Ramsey07's condition in the auction description. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Bad boy Danny. Bad boy.

So, please, don't try to play smart with me and tell me that I tried to shaft you only because I offered you what you paid for (and if you recall... oh wait, you might not! But I do! Because I have the mail: I offered to give you twice as much) a well known non-working chip, while you tried to sell it "as-is" and "uncertain of their condition".
