YES YES YES!!! I finally got all amiga models made (by C= that is).....

I just won an auction for an Amiga 3000 Tower, the only one I was still missing; and she looks very clean too!

Hmmm reminds me... I am still missing a CD32 in my collection, although I never considered one to be a real Amiga... :-D

Congratulations!

You must have a big house to store that. I don't have myself enough room to store my 2 A1200T, my A600, my 2 A2000 (one not working), my A500 and my A500Plus.

By the way, i agree with you: CD32 is no real amiga. Commodore would have made better to not sell this one and instead put the money in the AAA chipset or in a more powerful A1200.

You have an Original C= A4000T!!! :-o

Well, yes and no.... It was an original C= 4000T but the case was thrown away by the previous owner, it's now in an AT case to make it as original as possible, knowing that ever finding a C= case again is near impossible.

All boards are genuine C= though, not one board is rebranded AT

Keep your fingers crossed that the 3000T is working.

I always get suspicious if someone states on ebay that he "does not have the time to test it" thus sells an item "without any guarantee/warranty"

Aghhhh! I would pay serious money for an original Commodore A4000T case...

@ Bloodline

I didn't know you had an A4000T..or would you put something else in the case if you got one?

I'd probably stick a PC Mobo in it, if it didn't come with one :-D

Pokémon! Gotta collect 'em all!

Erm, yes. I'm envious .

You guys are wrong..the CD32 is actually thre True-est of the True-est Amiga ever made. it is the most complete in Motherboard terms and is the realist Amiga there is........second would be the CDTV, 3rd would be the A1000, then A1200.......A600....A500....A4000..........A2000, etccc in that order

the CD32 has what I consider to be the ROM that ALl Amigas should have had and at the minimum should be even in AmigaONE's just upgraded.


The CD32 does everything and is a True Multimedia Machine. The CDTV would have been it if it were AGA
.
It runs All Amiga games, plus CDTV and CD32 ones
Plays Audio CD's
Plays Video CDs (with FMV)
Plays CDXL
Plays CD+G (Karaoke CD's)
Plays MIDI CD's
Has S-Video OUT
RF OUT
Composite OUT
RGB OUT (CDTV or with SX32/SX-1)
Headphone socket
2 dedicated Joyports with dedicated Control Pad
PAL and NTSC capability.
Serial port/Keyboard port.

and much more. Yes some other Amigas do this.......but the CD32 was done right.....just the wrong external case....and too little too late.

Nevertheless, this is the Truest fullest Amiga Mostly because of the ROM and the Auto CD bootup screen, and FMV screen, and language selection.

But the whole Idea is picturing a CD32 in a CDTV case with a Keyboard garage like the A1000. These are the 3 truest Amigas.

Funny you should say that. The CD32 is a games machine, and as a games machine it is fairly well done, but not even close to perfection.

For me the Amiga is a business machine, running the nicest OS ever made. For me the CD32 is no Amiga because:

1) It has standard no way of booting workbench; no floppy drive, no harddrive.
2) Very limited expansion possibility
3) Not a standard facility for a CPU upgrade
4) No SCSI
5) No RGB port
6) (even worse!) No VGA port
7) Tiny (and in my eyes ugly) casing

I could probably just go on. Stick the good points from a CD32 in an A4000T and we're talking, the way it is now it's just something I have no use for. I have a CDTV, funny machine, but atleast it has a floppy drive port.... AND a remote controller.

Gefeliciteerd!
Ik zoek nog een A3000D.

Groetjes,

I'm no lover of the A4K technically... I think it was very poorly designed... No, that's the wrong term, I think the Design Team should have been allowed to design the machine they wanted rather than what they were told.

I was referring to the CD32 base unit with the SX32 pro or SX-1 or Promodule, Or the never released Commodore upgrade that attches under he unit and makes it a complete A1200.

this is my Current setup:

CD32/SX32 Pro 68030 @50mhz 128Mb RAM, 40gig HD, MASPlayer MP3 hardware decoder.

this setup up is a True Mutlimedia Machine, more than any other Amiga anyway.
