Yes indeed, it seems you were a total bastard to one bloke! The story: here

If this guys story is true (from your nature on a.org I guess it is) you ####ed him over on the feedback front! The guy also states that all the good feedback my be for deals that DoomMasters wife has done on the account, not him.

Yes! Lorddef! Well done! You deserve a Blue Peter Badge for that one! :-)

DoomMaster, it would seem you have been caught hook, line and sinker part 2! Lets tell the missus! :-)

To ####ney_dave:

1. What is 'FUN stuff'?

I use my Amiga computers and Atari ST computer for playing vintage video games.  I use Deluxe Paint 4 on my Amiga 2500 to draw artwork for PC video games.  One of my hobbies is video game designing.  I use my Atari ST for MIDI music.  I use my Macintosh SE for desktop publishing and for keeping track of my eBay customers.

2. Do you work for Intel?

No.  I actually do not like Intel.  I live near one of their main plants here in Beaverton.  Intel does not care about their employees or their customers.  They only care about making money.

3. What is a REAL Amiga?

Real Amiga computers have the OCS, ECS or AGA Chip Set.  The older an Amiga is, the more real it is, the Amiga 1000 being THE Real Amiga !

4. Can I have your autograph?

Yes.     :-D

You do not know what you are talking about.  I did NOT f**k him over on the feedback.  In fact, he got exactly what he deserved.  I wanted him to leave positive feedback for me first.  I did not do anything wrong.  I bid and won his auction.  Then I sent him a money order in a timely manner.  So, I deserved the positive feedback that he left for me.  I then gave him a negative feedback because he DID deserve it.  Before bidding, I asked the seller many questions and he answered them with lies.  I also had to wait for over a month to get the item, and all the seller offered me was excuses.  That is not a good way to do business.  If people ask me questions about stuff that I am selling on eBay, I tell them the truth, even if it means losing the sale.  My good reputation means more to me then making a quick buck!     :-D

Some sellers on ebay are complete lyers. I have just bought a faulty  dvd player off of someone on ebay and the person i am getting it from was sold it on understanding it was full working order but the seller lied to him and i have bought it and he has lost a lot of money on it.

Besides some people on ebay are dishonest because they can make more money that way.

Give doomaster some credit his feedback is very good . :-)

Thanks dude !     :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D

Doomie has shown himself to regularly be highly overreactive in situations like this, and I personally find the seller's arguments quite feasible.  Note, I am NOT saying who's right here.  

However, the Big Book of Amiga Hardware states that KS 2.04 and ECS did not start until motherboard revision 6.3;  The one in question was 6.2 and the Kickstart was one of Doommasters biggest complaints.  ECS and KS2.04 were introduced together, so if the guy said the motherboard doesn't have the ECS Denise(and he did), why would it automatically come with KS 2.04??

Sounds like Doommaster got some factual information wrong, and then attacked this guy.

[DoomMaster]

To Wain:

the Kickstart was one of Doommasters biggest complaints.

NO, it was not.  My biggest complaint was about the seller not telling me the truth about the battery leakage corrosion on the mother board and about the cleanliness of the Amiga 2000HD.  He also lied about the scratches and chips in the paint.

ECS and KS2.04 were introduced together, so if the guy said the motherboard doesn't have the ECS Denise(and he did), why would it automatically come with KS 2.04??

Because the Rev. 6.2 motherboard IS an ECS board and because it has the 1 Meg Agnus.  Also, under close inspection, using a 20X microscope, I found evidence that the original Kickstart ROM was removed and the 1.3 version was put in its place.  I could see the pry marks that a screw driver left, that was used to pry up the original chip.

Sounds like Doommaster got some factual information wrong, and then attacked this guy.

I did not get any "factual information" wrong.  And I only "attack" people that DESERVE it.     :destroy:

@Doommaster

Okay, then someone should contact the big book of amiga hardware and tell them their info. is wrong.

EDIT --
Someone should contact these people too..
http://amiga.resource.cx/mod/a2000.html

EDIT--
WOW!!! It's a whole party of people who apparently (according to Doommaster) have their technical info wrong on motherboard revisions of the A2000

http://www.amigau.com/spock/a2000.html

 :-D

EDIT--

Wait a minute...here's another one!!!
http://www.titan.co.nz/amigaak/AA060104.htm

DoomMaster, you called this man a thief!!!! Because your motherboard didn't come with Kickstart 2.04, are you quite certain that ALL of these different hardware sites are wrong??  BTW They do concur with your point about the 1 meg Agnus, however, they do still say that there was no ECS Denise, and NO KS 2.04 until revision 6.3

I sure am glad we have such an A2000 expert on board to help us considering every site we have for technical information is wrong.  

[amigamad]

battery leakage corrosion on the mother board

this would indicate it had a clock like my a1500+ i used to have and only the plus versions of the machines had these so i would say a 1.3 rom  is wrong and he is very right in saying it should be a 2.04. :-)

[Wain]

@Amigamad

you would definitely be correct in this.  The thing is, all of the 6.X revision motherboards were being geared to run ECS.  But this was not fully implemented until revision 6.3

6.2 removed the ROM tower, and cleared up some bus noise issues, and sported a 1 Meg Agnus, but it did not have KS 2.04, or ECS Denise(which isn't being contested) these things were added in 6.3

 A1500+   ...?

[Epyx]

@DoomMaster

Just out of curiousity...(and in no way meant to be inflamatory..just curious as an Ebay buyer on the definitions of quality etc)

The Amiga 2000HD on the pictures looks to be in pretty damn good shape (cosmetically).  Was it dirty in a way that the pictures did not show?

Cause if I was judging the condition *just* based on those pics I would have to say it was in very good condition.

[Stew]

"Because the Rev. 6.2 motherboard IS an ECS board and because it has the 1 Meg Agnus"


  Sorry doomie but the A500's I bought new came with 512k ram and a 1 meg agnus. I did the mb mod later to get 1 meg chip ram with the a501.

[amigamad]

A1500+

Yes these were the last of the a1500 with 2.04 rom it had a sticker on mine with comodore 1993 :-)

[Wain]

@Amigamad

I missed the '+' sign. (Thanks Punk guy)

BTW, you're aware that the A1500 (not plus) is a rebadged A2000 using extremely late motherboard revisions right? (Apparently post 6.2)  All of the A1500's were ECS
 :-D

To quote the big book of Amiga hardware...

" The A1500 only ever used the newer A2000 motherboards which contained the ECS Chipset and Kickstart 2.04. "
