Trade: DKB Wildfire for any 1200/4000 060 accelerator
I have recently come into posession of an Amiga 2000 with a DKB Wildfire accelerator. I have yet to see one of these show up on eBay. It's a great piece of hardware; the 060 is massive overkill for an ECS machine and the SCSI is the fastest I have ever seen on an Amiga. Haven't tried the built-in ethernet yet but I imagine it's pretty sweet too.
Can I get away with trading this accelerator for one that'll fit in an A1200 (or preferably 4000)? |

wow, amazing card!
from BBOAH: The DKB Wildfire is designed to plug into the CPU Fast Slot of the A2000 and is probably the most powerful accelerator ever released for the A2000. The DKB Wildfire contains a local PCI bus for attaching a custom PCI graphics card called the Inferno. It also contains a built in ethernet card (RJ45 10BaseT, optional 10Base2 adaptor) and a built in Fast SCSI-II controller with an internal 50pin SCSI connector and an external 50pin SCSI connector. The two black connectors on the rear of the card, are probably the local PCI slots for attaching things like the Inferno. This accelerator requires at least Amiga OS3.1 in order to work correctly. - Local PCI bus transfers at up to 70MB/sec - Ethernet transfers at up to 1MB/sec - SCSI transfers at up to 10MB/sec - 3 CHIP Flash ROM for driver updates. |

Setting the price will be difficult, as this thing is apparently crazy rare and I haven't even been able to dig up info on what it typically goes for. There's a Tekmagic 2060 on eBay right now pulling $800+ and it doesn't even have ethernet.
Christ that is a lot of money. I imagine a Wildfire would be worth even more? Last edited by papa_november; 28 September 2008 at 00:59. |

Still available? I have a nice (warranty seal on the oscillator still intact) MKII Cyberstorm + SCSI that I'd consider trading.
