Amiga 2000 - free to good home. 

Offered here in NetBSD land first. 

Motherboard: rev 4.2
Accelerator: A2630 rev 9.1, ROM 390283-07  MC68030RC25B & M68882RC25A
RAM: 4MB, 32 of NEC D424256V-10 on the A2630
SCSI Card:  A2091 ROM v7.0
SCSI DRIVE: 360 MB Internal
SCSI DRIVE: 40 MB External (actually this is an Apple unit)
Power Supply: 300 Watt Bigfoot
Floppy: Original
Monitor: M1438S, replacement, used one year.
Keyboard: Commodore, replacement, used one year.
Mouse: Aftermarket replacement, used one year.
Cables: all needed to run plus a pile of extra ones.
Software: Amiga WB 3.1 floppies, Excellence!, JForth, Pro Draw, etc. 

All or nothing you come and get it, or else pay for packaging, shipping and 
handling. By the latter I mean that I tote the whole shebang to Mail Boxes 
Etc, they do the rest and you reimburse me 100%. I'm too busy to hunt for 
boxes, and all of that. 

This unit still works fine. The only thing wrong with it is that it is 
missing those decorative plastic bezels that are supposed to cover the front 
of the had drive and floppy. It has been in storage in my attic for years, 
in a box, nice and clean. 

The only reason I have not given it away before now is that I had a partial 
translation of a novel from English to Esperanto (90 pages & hundreds of 
footnotes) trapped on the Hard Disk in Amiga OS in the word processor 
Excellence! which I knew not how to rescue until now. 

The unit still totally works, except for one tiny thing. It fails to 
auto-boot on power up. You have to press the CTRL-AMIGA-AMIGA keys to get it 
to boot. But it was like that for the whole of the final two years when I 
had used to run it every day. 

I have rescued my files now: thanks to both Cloanto and Perl. You can see 
them, if you want, on the web. The novel is Hardwired, by Walter Jon 
Williams, see my signature for the URL. 

Like I said, I'm offering it here first. If no one replies, I'll offer it 
next on some die-hard Amiga web site. If still no one should replay, I'll 
keep the monitor and toss the rest.
