Update: sale is closed since I dont have all of the original software which is installed on the computer (just like 99% of you guys dont have all the original software you are using), and I think it would be a shame having to format the drive and erase all the software, so to comply with AmiBay rules, sale is closed, and I will sell this lot on another site.
Selling my last Acorn Archimedes computer, my jewel, an A3010 with accessories.
The computer itself is a standard A3010 with 4MB ram and RISC OS 3.11, it has a 340MB hard drive. All the keys work. The power switch needs some contact cleaner but I have never gotten around to do this, its not a problem, but I am mentioning it. The battery has been removed and the board is in great shape - there is a battery holder for AA batteries but there are NO batteries in the computer - the picture shows a battery - its not there anymore, I usually start the computer holding Delete and then add the hard drive (and use the configure monitor command to set the screen for games). You might not need all the accessories that I have enclosed in this sale, but I am selling all the stuff I have used with the computer so take it or leave it. There are a lot of games and stuff on the hard drive so the computer is ready for many hours of fun.
I used the ZIP drives to transfer files between my PC and the Archimedes, so you will get a 250 MB ZIP drive with a parallel port and a cable to connect to the Archimedes. I used an old laptop with Windows 98 for the USB Zip drive when I needed to transfer some files from my PC. I tried getting the USB ZIP drive to work with Windows 11 - forget it
(my old laptop is not part of this sale). You might ask why 2 ZIP drives and well, I just didn't want to plug/unplug the parallel cable to/from my PC and the Archie all the time, so I got this USB ZIP drive for my PC instead.
I tried uploading a small video but the file was too big for AmiBay, so I have shared it here on my Google drive.
its shows me starting James Pond.
Accessories:
1 250 MB ZIP drive with parallel port, cable and PSU, to be used with the Archie
1 250 MB USB ZIP drive to be used with a PC
3 pcs. 250 MB ZIP disks
I bought the power-tec drivers from Partis Computing needed to use the ZIP drive with the Archimedes and the software is installed on the hard drive, so you don’t need to do anything, but I will forward you the software and serial number should you ever need it to reinstall.
SmallyMouse adapter and a regular wireless Logitech mouse and USB receiver.
1 spare keyboard, the membrane is damaged so lots of keys don't work, maybe the membrane can be repaired, I never needed this spare keyboard, so I never bothered trying.
The price is 1000€, email me for price of shipping to your country, I will ship to any country in the EU. PayPal F&F.
