Melbourne buyers only please.  I'd rather not have to ship stuff around the
country, as I'm not super desperate to sell my stuff.

Mostly Amiga stuff for sale. I'll separate some of the items below if there
is interest.

                                 -=-=-=-=-=-

Amiga 2000 ... 3 Mb RAM  (2 Mb RAM on the GVP HD controller)
               GVP series II controller, orig s/w and manuals
               2 x 40Mb Quantum HD's (LPS40 models)
               2 FDD's
               1084 monitor
               ECS chipset
               AmigaDos 2.04 ROM and original s/w
               all orig manuals

           ... I'm asking $1750 ONO.

           ... This A2000  belonged to my mate who is a hacker kind of dude,
               thus the front of the case has 2 switches on it, 1 is a kill
               chipmem hack for games that want only 1/2 Mb of chipmem. The
               other is for an unfinished project he was working on.

               The other hack was that he cut the GVP HD controller in half.
               {Groan ... :-(}  Everything works on it, he just needed some
               space inside the case for a full height 5.25" HD once, so he
               cut off the GVP controller PCB where you mount the HD as an
               internal hard disk... :-)

                                 -=-=-=-=-=-

Amiga Phoenix motherboard complete with ECS chipset and 1.3 ROM and 2Mb RAM.

I don't remember the revision number of the board, I bought it a year ago &
never used it... It has the SCSI controller that does *not* support the RDB
standard, but the time I did test the controller it worked fine with one of
my Quantum's that I mentioned in the above setup.

Oh yeah, this is the 1 Meg ChipRAM model, and you'd need to buy the Phoenix
upgrade kit to have the 2 Meg ChipRAM option installed.

I never used this board because I became disenchanted with "hacking" around
with my A1000 (I like the bugger! :-)) & coupled with the fact that I'm not
a hardware type of hacker I thought I'd just leave it alone for a while.

I'm asking for $900 ONO.  The board does not need any custom chips, which I
purchased for about $200 originally.

                                 -=-=-=-=-=-

If you are interested in either system, or parts there of please me make an
offer.

I don't really know if the above prices are fair so I'm really just testing
"the water" so to speak. If it seems to me that the current market value of
my equipment is too low, then I may just trade them in at Maxwell on an up-
grade to an Amiga 3000 as I'd rather off-load them conveniently rather than
sell the stuff piece by piece.

Thanks if you read this far.  I know it's a long post.  I got carried away.
