Would any one be interested in an Amiga? SW60XG?

[glendower]

I have 3 amigas here currently-- a 2000 with a video toaster (and a 68030 upgrade... can't sell this one, though), a 3000 and a 4000. The latter two each have 040s. The 3000 is overclocked and has a large heatsink which makes it impossible for it to have the 2nd floppy drive installed. They all have 3.1 roms and are running workbench 3.5. They all also have VGA cards installed (at least I think they all do) along with their installed video (of course). The 3000 has the scan doubler and the 4000 uses AGA graphics which are very pretty (for an amiga ).

Also, I have hooked my MT-32 up to them for fun and played some SQ3 and it works wonderfully with the MIDI adapter (I have one but it's not exactly mine to sell).

Right now I'm just feeling out the market for these... it's not certain that I'm going to sell both or either... but I was just wondering if there'd be any interest if I were to sell them.

Also, I have 2 SW60XGs and only one decent system with ISA slots. My dos box gave up the ghost for no appernt reason and I've switched to running DosBox .65 which does everything I need it to do. So I have a spare that is just sitting here doing nothin except making me feel bad for not using it.

If you know amigas, you know that they weigh a ton and I don't have a car right now (nor is my vespa working... it's been a bad month), so shipping might be pretty horrible. This is all to fund a new camera to replace my camera which ALSO broke this month (jeeze... it just never stops... and the gap between replacement/repair cost is quite close, so I thought i would make a little upgrade).

I don't know. If anyone is interested, shoot me an offer.

Oh, the A4000 was one with the reverse-printed CPU boards. On some revisions of the A4000 the screen printing for the capacitors on the CPU board was backwords. They worked for a while but after a few years would leak or explode. I got my hands on this one and fixed it... So neither of them are mint, but they both work well... it's actually hard to let them go

I was a die-hard Amiga user (I used Amiga as my only computer system until 1999, when I bought my first PC), and I still really love it. I had an Amiga 2000 with a 68060 accelerator, 128Mb ram, Fast SCSI-II, CyberVision 3D, ethernet, 386 Bridgeboard, Kickstart 3.1 and so on, and also a "towered" Amiga 1200 with a PowerPC603/68040 accelerator and a blizzardVision (Permedia 2 chipset).

I hope you're lucky enough to find people interested in buying some of your machines; the market is very small but people tend to really value the quality (especially when it comes to add-ons). But I know it's difficult now because Amigas are very heavy and big monsters, it's really hard to find replacements for damaged hardware, and, to be honest, UAE works just very well now.

Hope you're lucky, though.

Please let me know how much you're asking for, for the Amigas (you can send me a private message if you don't want to announce that in the public forums).  Maybe I misread your post, but did you say you are not selling the 2000?

Bah, I used my A1200 daily until late 2003 :)

What do you mean? The fact I only had amiga and no PC until 1999 doesn't mean that I had stopped using it once I had a PC. In fact, I had to buy a PC for other reasons related to my job, and for a long time the Amiga was still the my main computer system. I finally sold my amigas in late 2004 because I needed the money and UAE was just good enough for my purposes. I still use WinUAE quite regularly for retro-gaming and for some tasks in which the Amiga is still hard to beat (I still use ImageFX when it comes to image editing; it's so easy and powerful and I know it so well that I haven't bothered trying Photoshop )

I'm all open for the SW60XG! I've been after one for so long now - price for it?
