>I found an Amiga forum and posted it on there to see if I could get some more info on it and if it was even worth anything... well... here's the link to the posting:

Wow, now that is a bit wrong fella. By linking to the amiga.org website, you could easily bring this forum and its members into disrepute. By implication you are using the Amiga Org site to give providence to your item, where none may exist. That is pretty low thing to do. I suggest before your item is removed from ebay you cancel and resubmit without mentioning Amiga org or its members in any future auction, I am not an admin but go do the research, get the evidence but don't drag this forums name down into your Ebay auctions thats really not nice.

Rant mode off.

Those two guys were not involved with the Amiga at this stage, so they might not have the best knowledge about this era. You want some of those guys whose names are written beneath the top cover of production A1000s.. They were actually there.

Actually, both Herd and Haynie were present at Los Gatos when Commodore purchased Amiga, Inc.   In Bagnall's book they are quoted about working with Amiga, Inc. right after the purchase.

However, if the machine was a Lorraine era computer then you would probably be correct.

One of the reasons I would start with one of them is because the machine says Commodore on it.   This is a development machine and I would venture that both Herd and Haynie would have some knowledge of it.  

Anyway, I would start with Bil Herd or Dave Haynie and ask them.  If they don't know they could probably point to somebody that might.

I think Dave Needle did the 256k front expansion on the 1000 so he might be somebody else to try as well....

Sorry, but I didn't think I was doing anything wrong...

Sorry, I didn't know you couldn't post links in your ad... it has been reposted:hammer:

@bouddica:
That's a bit strong there if you ask me. How exactly would linking to a.org reflect negatively on it?
-edit-
Here's the new auction: http://tinyurl.com/343jra6

I didn't realize you were doing anything wrong either.  I guess once something is posted here it is no longer your intellectual property.  This is an awfully public forum to be private.  What happens if someone reads the new posting, has heard of Amiga.org, comes here and reads about the computer?  Does this also make this site look bad?  Maybe everything should be erased as soon as it is submitted.  It would make for a useless site but we wouldn't have to worry about being in disrepute.  I would suggest that if you don't want something you write read,  you shouldn't write it!
