How's it a joke on me? Jealous? A guy gave it to me on Saturday, I checked it out on Sunday, and shipped out on Monday! Seriously, I almost just pithed it. But the Amiga Love Gods wouldn't here of it! :roflmao: Besides, Mechy turned me onto something I didn't know existed. He traded for one of these for my A590. Goodbye A590 SCSI drive!

Exactly....   :lol: Besides, what the hell would I do with a bunch of A3000T chips when there's less than (supposedly) 200 units in existence! :roflmao: Anyway, I'm pretty sure the problem is a bad 040 board.
Let's just cheer Mechy on! Go Mechy!

They really are quite heavy, and even taller than the A4000T.

Hey, I got my A3000D for free, from a post here. And undersold my A1200T that is now at 300Mhz!

:(

If you just stand around long enough, an Amiga will hit you in the head...
I think Andy Warhol once said, everyone gets a free Amiga at some point. I think he did.:)

Uh oh... that's a bad sign if your thinking like I think (not to mention pretty difficult to do), them's all the first signs of SANITY creeping in... :eek:

If you keep thinking like that there's gonna be two SANE people on this site... quick PM me your address and I'll get the SNP (Squirrel Ninja Patrol) Parachute Division to drop in with some emergency meds... :)

You know, thanks to Doomy, I would be surprised if anything Amiga sells from Oregon ever again... you just can't be sure when he'll pop back up.  And where the frak does he keep coming up with this stuff, anyway?  It's like he has a mine along a thin vein of Amiga.

Hey what can i say,i just can't stand to hear of broken amiga HW that could get tossed. No telling what i've gotten myself into again. I also hate to see possibly complete machines get parted out.The last basket case 3000T i fixed was from redrumloa and it was a really fun adventure piecing that machine back together(hmm did i say fun?). But i'm happy to say it was released back into the wild and someone hopefully gets good use from it.

@esc

IIRC the lock on the front switches off mouse and keyboard input so it could be as simple as that.

Got it today...methinks you're right!  How do I turn that thing without a key?!  It's in the locked position.

And @thread - the a3000T is HUGE!  ENORMOUS!  It's much bigger than my power tower a4k.  And it's heavy!  The plastic bezel on the front is kind of shoddy...and pretty much ruined.  Oh well.  The thing is still rad.  That battery needs to come off asap, though....looks like some damage :(

No, Doomy would have put that he would smash it to pieces if it didn't sell. Then again maybe he's getting soft in his old age.......

If you look through that guy's other listings, he threatens to smash up some other items. Maybe he just couldn't bear to smash up an A3000T/040.

D'you reckon he actually smashes these things up, or is it just a (really lame) marketing attempt?

Agreed: pics or it didn't happen.  Does he still have a YouTube account?  I'm surprised he doesn't get all pissy when something doesn't sell and put up a video, "I told them fekkers on eBay I'd smash this up if no one bought it!!"

IIRC, the key lock is a normally-open (N.O.) connection and the locked position is closed, thereby shorting the pins to affect the key lock.  So, in theory simply unplugging the key connector from the header should do it.  Otherwise, you can play with a jumper on the header.
