Well they are long gone, so I don't think that Amiga still exists.
Else we would have seen it here.

Actually, no, Scala still exists today and acknowledge their Amiga heritage: http://www.scala.com/about/history

This from my collection, of which I have two and why is this odd ?

Strangely my most desired piece of Amiga hardware is still an Amiga 1060

UX A1500/2500 etc are just A2000 machines so don't count.

A1000s are very thin on the ground for sure, probably because nobody wants to sell them at their undervalued sale price.

Sorry, should I have said "Mac with ToasterController"?

Softhut had one for sale some 10+ years ago! Not sure whose it was or where it came from, but it sold.

They do count if they vary in any way in appearance or build, and that could also mean in the form of dedicated peripherals and or even the box. Collectors of stamps want the mint, fine used, gutter pairs, traffic light gutter pairs, sheet, presentation pack etc and yet technically all the same stamp. That's what collecting is all about. I spent like an eternity trying to get the cheese for the modulator for the 500 and the stick end for the Enterprise. The sellers were amazed that I didn't want the computer and I just wanted the packaging. Interestingly the box is worth way more than the machine sometimes. Cus people throw the boxes away.

Here are three computers that I was given ' GIVEN ' last year. You can pick up the common makes no problem, though the lesser known models are tricky.

I bought the only one I ever saw from Software Hut several years ago. Its still working and sealed away currently. Its got an 040 card from an A4000 in it, no Amber chip or the ability to have one, AGA and no working DSP chip, but the rest is there and its in a standard A3000 case.

If it's sealed away, how do you know it's still working....

Hmmm...

Unfinished prototypes are tricky, if you include those then the rarest amiga will be one we don't know about.

The A2000 revision 5 is very rare, estimated as 5 boards produced.

"While there are many Amiga 2000s in the world, the Rev 5 is extremely rare. As far as I know, only about five boards were made. The purpose of the Rev 5 board was simply to add higher density memory to the Amiga 2000. The original design used sixteen memories for a bank of memory, this design used four (there are two banks). This was the last Amiga 2000 motherboard I had all that much to do with..
At the time, the Rev 4.x was in production, and the new board was desired for new production, as the price crossover from the 256K x 1 to the 256K x 4 memories had been reached. However, the Rev 5 board was completed ahead of the need for it. So the PCB guys did some additional cleanup work on the design, and I think the FCC people got involved, too. Regardless, the resulting Rev 6 motherboards were plagued with problems (in fairness, some were due to the switchover to a 68000 with faster signals, that was also noisier). - Dave Haynie"


While A3000+ was estimated as 50 produced, however the majority were revision 2 boards (renamed AA3000). How many revision 0 & 1 boards were produced is unknown & how many of each remain is another thing altogether.

"Rev 0 (A3000+, Most components were socketed)
Rev 1 (A3000+, Completed audio sub-system, most components surface mounted)
Rev 2 (AA300)"

Revision 0, 1, 2, 4 & 7 of the A500 are unknown but they probably existed

Rare Amigas? This reminds me: Does anyone remember DraCo?

In 1995 (the year I lost track of everything Amiga - starting a dark decade of Linux and Mac) there was some talk about DraCo being the future of Amiga. It ran some Amiga Software, but lacked the typical Amiga Chipset. Some company that was famous for Amiga graphics boards made them. I guess they are pretty rare now ....

Wait, let`s try to google it:
http://amiga.resource.cx/mod/draco.html

I remember reading about a guy of MTV fame, who was quite fond of his DraCo.

I think there may have been cost reduced CDTV, but i'm not sure it was ever released.

There was also the original German A2000 with the original DIP socket Agnus. Not sure if you would want to collect that one though Bet you could get one for cheap....

OOPS: those were already mentioned.

So you bought it! Well, mystery solved. Glad it went to a good home!


(Hope you checked the battery!)
