What is the most rare Amiga - Page 2

There was also the A2200 ( a CD32 motherboard with an expansion board for Zorro cards etc. in a desktop box). It was more of a prototype, I remember seeing an ad for it in an Amiga magazine, but I don't know if any were actually sold to the public.

It has to be the Walker prototype.

What about the 2200? I remember seeing adds for it out of Canada, but am not sure if it ever was anything more than a prototype?
It sure looked like a great idea....

I remember seeing the A2200 ads too and wanting to get one.

Or the CDTV CR

There was someone here a number of years ago who claimed to have a 2200. He never did post pictures of it...

Didn't the A3000UX come with an A2410 as well as the tape drive?

Some models. I think you could configure it with any or all of 2410, 2232, and 2065. At any rate, I think those are the few boards that Amix supports out of the box.

Actually i think maybe 80 for the A3000T is a bit optimistic.

http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/sales.html

If you look at Germany you can see 6000 A3000T's and 80 A3000T040.
But an A3000T040 isn't that rare, I got 1, not the best looking 3000T040, but hey, I got it for a nice price.

Still remains guess work for both in the past and now.

But I agree with Tone007, the 4000T Commodore is the rarest.
However it's just a 4000T board in a pc case, the last design was the PC III 60 / 3000T case, if my memory is right.
Same goes for the Amiga Technologies 4000T, that is just another pc case.

If you include the A3500, that is even more rare (I have it in my wishlist, but I think it's impossible), but that is more an early A3000T prototype.
But it's just a 3000T board, slapped in a PC III 60 case.

I think it would look like this:

- Commodore 4000T
- A2500 UX
- A3000 UX
- A2500/30
- A3000T040
- A3000T
- Amiga Technologies A4000T (Escom)
- A2500
- A1500

The 2500/30 is a special labeled 2500, just like the UX, but not that different from normal 2500's, the whole range is A2000.
Same goes for the 1500, UK edition with only 2 FDD's, but no HDD or accelerator card.
However the 2500UX is the rarest one of the whole 2000 series, only a few of those around the world, less than 10 is estimated.

Again, it's all still guess work, if everyone enters all Amiga's in http://www.amigamap.com, we could have a real overview.

Not really. If you got the full-blown Amiga 300UX it came with the Lowell Board (A2024?) and of course the External SCSI Tape Drive.

The Lowell Board was pretty nice for X-Windows at the time.

Cheers!

The rarest working Amiga is the A3000+, good luck finding one

There are two A2200's. The official one that were designed by commodore but never produced, http://www.amigahistory.co.uk/a2200.html

And something that could have been a CD32 motherboard in a case with an expansion board http://www.thecryptmag.com/Online/29...ttenAmiga.html http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showha....cgi?HARDID=19, the twice the speed of an a1200 claim is probably because it came with some fast ram. The 7 other slots probably zorro ii/iii is wrong, there are 7 slots, 4 PC ISA slots, 1 a1200 cpu slot, a slot for a 486 card and a future expansion slot. Whether you could use the ISA slots without the 486 card is anyones guess. It's no more an Amiga than the checkmate digital 1500 or the bodega bay.

An NTSC CD32 or a commodore badged A4000T is probably the rarest machine that went into production.
