Amiga development system (prototype?) on eBay
« on: April 18, 2010, 10:19:14 PM »
Not mine, definitely worth a look though: http://cgi.ebay.com/Commodore-Amiga-Development-System_W0QQitemZ300419107197

What do you think, authentic prototype or A1000 stuffed into an ugly case?

Possibly interesting. I haven't the slightest idea what it could be. Ancient Amiga development was done on Suns... wonder if it's related to that?

Can't say I can, but I could photograph the insides of my A1000 with some closeups of various chips if that helps?

Is thought that this was some sort of un-finished project from the PAWS company that gave us the 1200 Laptop (the paw logo on the mobo is a clear hint).
Though quite what machine it really is is not known and we may not ever know that unless somebody who is crazy enough to buy it who also happens to know what he's / she's doing.

Could be some sort of clone?

Thats why I was hoping someone could identify some of the chips and stuff on the board, but it might not be doable.
 
Heck, Id love to even see what it looks like when it boots up, if it does

I vaguely remember seeing pictures of a black boxed Amiga touted as a development machine that looked much as this one does. If this is a dev box, the paw print could be that of Mitch the dog. After all, it was also in the A1000 case.

I think it is the LORRAINE prototype:

It would seem it's just "partial" then, as all the custom chip breadboards are stading in the back of the older picture.

If it is, it's too bad that they are lost, because as the seller is stating, this was salvaged from a pile of old vcrs.

I know Mitchy wasn't a Labrador but did she have ambitions of being the Andrex puppy, or is there another reason for there being a toilet roll on the board.
