are we still sharing crazy ebay postings?

I was looking for another Powerbook for MorphOS and stumbled across this "gem".

Over $1,000 for a $30 logic board?

[Beast96GT]

ebay will finance this for your for $36 for 12 months, too!

I guess someone really wanted an SX32 Pro.... pfff insane prices

Ah yes, the highly coveted and rare SX32. But that is a ridiculous price.
I wish the Apollo Team would do an FPGA expansion for the CD32.

Kipper2k has said in a few  threads that he wants one for the CD32. I don't know if the team is thinking of doing one - the CD32 would probably be the smallest audience - but if anyone can convince the team to make one, I wouldn't think anyone could be a more effective advocate than him. A couple of times he's sounded pretty adamant.

He said it wouldn't be that difficult since the expansion connector on the CD32 and the trapdoor expansion on the 1200 are essentially the same other than the physical connector.

Personally I think a CD32 with a Vampire accelerator would be just about ideal. Sure it doesn't have a keyboard built in but connecting one is easy. It's fairly small so easily portable, already has a CD drive built in, AGA with S-video if you didn't want to use RTG for some reason and I think it has the greatest free volume where the Vampire would be so cooling should be less of an issue.

What would be really cool would be if they could do something like the Paravision SX-1 that plugged into the expansion connector and let you plug the FMV cartridge into the SX-1. I know it's only Mpeg1 / VCD so it wouldn't have the video quality of Riva say but it would offload the processing from the Vampire. Maybe? I don't know enough to know if it could work that way but I can't help but think that that would be super exciting

I have never understood why nobody has ever produced a CD32 to A1200 expansion port adapter, so we can use all those A1200 expansions...

[AJCopland]

People have tried, CD32->A1200 expansion, there's some differences that stopped them working.

6900 for an Amiga 1000. :roflmao::roflmao::roflmao::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Couldnt resist sending a PM (amusing to some element)

see below

Me:

Can i have it for what its worth?

Seller

If you own this, how much would you price it at?

Me:

Depends on if it has everything included it came with. Manuals, boxes, software. Ebay has a search option which will show for how much similar items recently sold. Your offer is unfortunately factor 10 above that.

Seller:

Not talking about what ebay or anyone says it is worth. Asking you if you had this, what would you price it at?
 
Me:

500

Seller:

You don't have much respect for your Amiga.

Me:

It cost 4000 when it was new
I am not greedy, no.

Seller:

You are still not being honest. Not asking what you want to buy it at. $6900 is not greed. $10690 might be. $100690 would be. Get real.

:laughing:
:confused:
:rtfm:

no wonder this country is going down the drain

Enjoy and feel free to send that seller some more comments, he/she seems to like it

As far as I know, you can plug an SX1 and an FMV cartridge in at the same time.
Now find an FMV cartridge.
And adding a Vampire to the CD32 would be no mean feat since the '020 in the CD32 is surface mounted.
The expansion slot might be one way to connect an accelerator, but the SX32 is the only one I know of that does that right now.

Personally, I love my CD32 with SX1, and would welcome something that would speed it up.
With a fast enough cpu, you might not need a full motion video board.

To the contrary. There is some sanity left. Nobody has or will bid on this joke.
His reasoning is precious.

Sure. 6900. No comment

Ebay should really bring back listing fees for idiots like this. :mad:

Good point.  Never thought of it that way.  I've been enjoying free listings for a long time, so I'm sure guys like this are, as well.
