31-12-2024
This computer has been re-listed, since my other listing did not have a proof of ownership. I was contacted by user (Dimebag) when I listed the computer the first time and made an agreement with him, to wait with the sale until end January, I will honor that agreement, so you can still declare interest, but will be after Dimebag. If for some reason Dimebag does not want to carry through with the purchase, I will contact the next person who has declared interest.

Update 26th of January, well having saved the computer for another user which ended up saying no (last time I do that). I will be contacting the next person now.

Acorn Archimedes A3020 computer 4 MB ram, works perfect, all keys work. I used the computers VGA output on the screenshots. The battery has been removed, and a 2 pcs. AA battery holder has been added (no batteries inserted). The original hard disk has been removed and a 2GB DOM (DiskOnModul) added, but only 512MB has been utilized. I loaded a chess game from disk and Lemmings from the hard drive - btw. there are a lot of games/apps on the hard drive.

The computer was recapped on 27th of May 2023 (only the SMD capacitors were replaced), I have posted some motherboard pictures and on the full picture of the board the SMD caps have been replaced.

Please note, the SmallyMouse adapter is NOT part of this sale.

I have been collecting retro computers and consoles since 2019, but there are things in my life, that have changed, so I have chosen to sell a part of my collection. I will be putting things up for sale continuously, so keep an eye out for my profile. I have only chosen to have working machines in my collection, so unless I specify otherwise, what I am selling is working - however, these are old retro machines which are generally about 35-40 years old, so there are no guarantees. If I have the right cables, I will try to load up something on the machine, so you can see it working, but I can't test everything - I don't have a printer as an example, so usually I have no idea if the printer port works - if such a port should exist on the machine.

Edit: Tracking number provided and package has been shipped this morning, 29th of January.
