In what way cheated? What did you get then? The bag in the photo says 1230 4 (IV) to me.... Or what didnt you get?

EDIT: Darn my slow typing....

So its a mkIII. The only difference between the two being the amount of RAM you can add, or am I being totally wrong... again...

Looks like a Blizzard 030/50 MkIII to me... But going on the fact that the bag it came in says Mk4 then I'd assume the seller genuinely thought it was a Mk4...

Oh, now I see what he has done. Does it mean you can't put a SCSI module on it because it is MKIII?

Edit: wait, I will check for myself all the differences between MKIII and MKIV on BBOAH

If you are after a MkIV and the MkIII you have is in good working order and includes an FPU I'll do a straight trade with you for my Blizzard 1230 MkIV, you just pay postage both ways.

@ Ryu

That is a generous offer, considering the differences between MKIII and MKIV (which I now appreciate)

Edit: but it would be useful to find out if the seller knew it was a MKIII or not.

Yeah, well my mark4 is only used it my webserver A1200, and 32mb of ram is plenty for it.. but i would like an fpu for ixemul stuff.

So I thought i'd try and help out by offering a straight swap.

But if you can sort it out with the guy you orriginally baught it from then try and do that...

Well Ive done countless transactions through AmiBench and Ive yet to have a problem with any of them.

I prefer AmiBench over ebay because at least there you get hardware at real prices rather than the stupid ammount things go for on ebay.

@Chain

Well if you dont want to let the FPU go I wont be interested in helping you out.

Actually there isn't much difference in the MKIII and the MKIV. The MK4 can have more memory and can have more memory added on it's SCSI controller. But seeing you have the full MKIII (50Mhz instead of 40MHZ EC) you won't notice much speed difference.
Also, I have not yet found a 128MB SIMM which fit's the MKIV without having to use rubberbands, far from ideal.

If you want the SCSI controller then yes, a IV is better available then the MKIII scsi...

But seeing that the bag was labeled MK4 could mean it was a genuine mistake. Altough the fact the rev label is scratched out worries me a little....
