Is this a good deal ??

Kristian95 · 13 June 2007, 22:03

I have the oppertunity to buy the following system:

Amiga 4000 (desktop) 040/40mhz, 16 mb fast mem, Cybervision 64/3D and a Cybervision 64 with 40gb hd and a cd drive. It also has 2 HD floppy drives and includes mouse, keyboard, joystick (Arcade) and a M1438S monitor (speakers removed).
The battery has been replaced with 3 rechargeable AAA batteries attached in the front of the casing, behind the plastic.
Furthermore the machine has a ethernet card and includes a 16 port hub as the owner thinks it is necessary for converting from rj45 to bnc cable.

The price for the system is £ 185

So, with this information on the system, is this a good deal ??

Thanks for your help

Yep, without doubt

Weird that it has two gfx cards

Must be have been a greedy guy who owned it because he only put 16 megs of fast ram on the accelerator when it's probably can have lots more

Yeah I was a bit puzzled at the 2 gfx cards as well. It is stated that the 040/40 is the original Commodore board, so I take it the 16 mb are on the MB ?? (this will be the first A4000 I've ever owned).

Which things should I enquire about regarding the machine ??

Cheers and thanks for the input and help!!
