Amiga 2000
« on: Wed, 19 November 2014, 22:47:46 »
I don't see these come up very often with the Cherry boards.  Based on the looks of the caps and the fact that the A is red, this should be Cherry G80-0904 with MX Blacks and a linear Grey spacebar.  It's great if you want a vintage computer to play around with since it's $400, but not so great of a deal if you don't want the computer part.

Nice find. Are those "A" mods 1.25x? I would love to have those.

Note to potential bidders: these boards are not compatible with modern machines... you would need to install a teensy to use it with a PC.

They should have since it was posted it in here about a week and a half ago.  The Amiga board is just really uncommon, especially with a working system.

I have a broken and incomplete one of those with white Hi-Tek Space Invaders.

The "A" legends are black, however.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Yeah, that's the more common version.  From my understanding, the Cherry one is pretty rare.

Not a bad deal for a complete working retro system that appears to be in very good condition. As I understand it, the Cherry version was either the original stock board with the initial run in a very low number or a 'deluxe' upgrade option over the hi-tek or later most common mitsumi versions.
