Swapped an HP Microserver for a CDTV

Swapped an HP Microserver for a CDTV

I know someone who needed a new NAS, and I had a 2x3TB HP Microserver going spare. I said I was happy to do a trade for something Amiga-ish, and we agreed he'd send me a CDTV and I'd send him the NAS and fifty quid.

I got:

CDTV, rev 2.2 with hand-mods to make it a 2.3
8MB RAM expansion
SCSI card
Updated Cloanto 3.1 Kickstart ROMs (I didn't know you could upgrade the ROMs in a CDTV!)
Off-brand beige two button mouse - seems to not work
CDTV DIN to twin 9-pin adaptor
DB23 to SCART cable (doesn't work on my TV - no 5V on the fast-blank pin)
Lemmings
Hutchinson Encyclopedia
One caddy
Remote Control
Original black keyboard

It doesn't work, of course. The CD would only spin up once, and after it would only ever do a quarter turn. And the above issue with the SCART cable, but I found a composite lead and that works fine. It's in bits now, and I'm trying to find someone who'll do me a recap kit so I don't have to spend four hours in Digikey trying to find exact matches.
 
Came across these recently and decided to pick them up. I'm told they're somewhat rare but just liked the form factor as I have none like them.

Medical appointment on Tuesday up in NE Calgary, and as per usual a trip around the thrift shops (3), a bit of bad luck on the weather, wasn't raining when I left, a moderate rain storm after I left my foot appointment, turning into a torrential downpour immediately after leaving the first thrift store, having found 2 decent games in good shape (Hawaii and PanzerBlitz) and only my backpack (for some reason it's getting near on impossible to get plastic bags at thrift stores, with only Salvation Army seeming to even have them any more), during the 4ish block walk to the second store, Value Village, being limited to 70 customers in-store with covid restrictions, there was a lineup there of a dozen or so people, wound up caught in the rain for a good 20 or 25 minutes... needless to say, soaked to the bone, as well as my backpack being drenched. (both games wound up being a little damaged (n))

ah well, it has to happen sometimes... for some reason...

These two A2000s arrived today.
Nicer one is fully working and very decent condition (I bought it as untested the cards were loose, machine was suspiciously low priced but I wanted the cards anyway). Came with dual kickstart ROMs, GVP HC+8 SCSI card, Vortex GoldenGate 386SX card, mainboard is immaculate (GP battery)

The poor thing is missing 68k, pins on the Denise are bent, there is some battery leakage. Came with MFM controller and HDD though and was very cheap.

I currently own 6 of them LOL. Gotta decide which ones to keep and sell the rest.

c'mon guys, surely someone has got something new (to them) in the last 3 weeks.

anyways, another run to the thrift shops, not a lot this time around, virtually nothing in the way of computer (or video game) stuff, and certainly nothing vintage-y. (and the few times there is, the stores want something ridiculous for it, it seems. I'm guessing they are checking with sites like ebay these days on anything they think is 'old')

Well, it was 'boardgaming' stuff time again, Alien: Fate of the Nostromo was finally in stock here in Canada, and there were a few others I'd been meaning to get, plus a bit of a catch-up on some expansions for games I already own.

Also, I had been collecting Star Wars Miniatures (I have about 882 figures), and had bought 3 Starter Sets for the Starship Battles version of the game, but hadn't bothered to continue on, as I preferred collecting the characters from the movies (and iirc the X-Wing game was released not long after I started collecting these). Troll & Toad was having a 25% off Miniatures & Cards sale and thought it was a good time to grab some of the ships.
