Trade: BeBox No Longer Available

[amigasociety]

The BeBox is no longer on the chopping block.  Thanks.  tj

Here is what the BeBox looks like.

Man I wish I had a Pegasos II to trade with you. I gave up a slightly broken BeBox years ago and have regretted it ever since. I can't imagine why you would give this one up!

Haiku + can of blue and white spray paint?

I have been playing CDs on it today.  I have nice Bose 3 piece speaker system on it.  Multi-media machine from days gone by.

I may have seconds thoughts on this if an offer comes my way.  .  It is rather nice.  I have Gobe Productive on the way now so will see if that offers me more bang for my BeBox to use it.

I may also be open for other partial trades.  An Atari TT030 would be sweet.  8-)

Haiku + paint + custom led rigging to show the dual processor activity to make it authentic

You have convinced me to hold onto it.

Or maybe those blinken lights have possessed me to keep her.  :hammer:

Don't know what I was thinking.  hehehe

Would you consider a Pegasos I? (See sig)

Are you in the UK?

I am in USA.  Shipping would be crazy high plus I understand the Pegasos Is had issues.

Now if anyone has a slick Pegasos 2, I may be convinced to part with the BeBox.

I have a dual pentium 200mhz motherboard loaded with 128 megs of ram if anyone wants to trade for something and build a box like this yourself...

Video of the BeBox for the heck of it.

I had made a video showing the BeBox booting and thought I would post it here for the heck of it.  Maybe a slick Pegasos II system might still entice me to trade or sell it.  I am waffling as it will be hard to let it go as they don't show up for sale often.  Anyway, enjoy the video showing old 1990s BeBox doing several things at once.

I remember seeing a live demo of one of these at an ECTS many years ago running Quake whilst playing multiple audio streams with true 3D positioning. It was astonishing for its time, genuinely revolutionary... and then they disabled one of the CPUs in real-time without causing a single hitch. It really did blow everything I had ever seen before away completely.

Glad to see that there's still a couple out there in a working state and actually being used.

Yup, it is in my main home office and I have been using it daily.  Mostly playing music but I have it connected to the Internet and actually used it to browse the web using NetPositive.  hehehe.

And yes, kind of cool being able to turn off a CPU with the click of the mouse and see how things behave.

I wouldn't let it go dude.  You've got some fairly modern apps to run on it, and honestly no *fewer* games than the Amiga has, classics aside.  You're not much "worse" off than if it was a Sam or Efika, and in many ways you're better off.

Plus if you decide to sell it in the future the price will be even sweeter (go look at what a functioning Lisa or Apple I will set you back).

I would never say never myself but I am in no rush.  If a steller deal came my way I may be open to it but as of today, I am holding on tight.  I have so many Be books and the various BeOS CDs that maybe I will explore the Quad PPC Genesis by Daystar to have a balls a blazing BeOS PPC machine.  :roflmao:

Not sure why I listed it the other day but....

Since I can't delete this thread, I figured I would add to the fun with a video I had made but I am not really into selling or trading it anymore but always keep a slight door open.  

I just need to find a site that you can still download BeOS apps from that work on PPC.  Haiku is all about Intel and BeBits, almost all the links I go to for downloads fail.  :furious:
