Hi there!
After almost two years working on it I've decided to part with my A600 Tower. I really hope it will find a lovely home and a person that will be able to finish it and enjoy it as it deserves.
I did spend a lot of time and love (and money) on this project but I also had a lot of fun with it.
Everything do work well except for the PSU, in fact sometimes the power button works but other times when you press it nothing happens or, for example, instead of powering off or on the computer it restarts it.
Anyway, this is the list of the components included in the sale:
01. Itek River Mini Tower Computer Case with ATX PSU
02. ATX to AT power adapter
03. StarTech.Com Compact Flash to IDE Memory Card Reader
04. LAN cable extension
05. Mouse & Joystick ports cable extensions
06. USB Keyboard cable Extension
07. Modified PC Floppy Disk Drive Sony MPF920 + long floppy disk cable
08. DVDRW IDE Atapi Writemaster
09. Original A600 Ide / Power Led circuit modified and connected to the front of the case
10. Amiga A600 Mainboard Rev. 1.5 fully recapped on March 2021 by a professional technician
11. iComp ACA 630 25 MHz, Motorola 68EC030 32 MB of RAM (original box and instruction sheet included)
12. iComp A604N 1MB Chip RAM expansion with riser card and RTC module (original box and instruction sheet included)
13. iComp Indivision ECS V2 Flickerfixer Scandoubler (original box and instruction sheet included)
14. Speedup System IDE buffered device + 3 ide cables (floppy disk with drivers included)
15. PCMCIA Right Angled Adapter
16. PCMCIA Ethernet Card with dongle
17. AmiKey 600 USB Keyboard Adapter
18. Quad Kickstart (1.3 / 3.1 / 3.1.4 / diagnostic)*
* Buyer should demonstrate the ownership of those kickstart or I will have to remove the quad kickstart from the sale
NO Keyboard, NO mouse (you can use any USB keyboard and Amiga mouse), NO Joystick, NO Compact Flash card and NO external Floppy Disk Drive included in the sale.
The Itek River Mini Tower Computer Case was modded by me in order to fit the A600 mainboard, it is an amatorial project so it is imperfect but it does the job and, in my opinion, it is aesthetically decent (the front is pretty nice, the back could be improved maybe by printing some parts with a 3D printer).
On the front panel of the case there are two switches plugged to the quad kickstart. The two usb ports on the front are for future use (you can buy a rapidroad and connect it to them).
The ATX to AT power adapter was modified by me in order to give the +12, -12 and +5 volts to the mainboard:
I plugged a molex connector to the 8 pin AT plugs and then I soldered 4 cables of another molex connector under the mainboard. This way, joining the two molex connectors, I have been able use any ATX PSU plugged to the ATX to AT (now "ATX to Molex") power adapter and give power to the system through it.
Unfortunately, as I already mentioned, due to the fact that new PSUs expect to find some charges on the mainboards they are plugged to, sometimes the power button works but most of the times when you press it nothing happens or instead of powering on or off the computer it restarts it. This issue should be fixed quite easily by a technician maybe adding some resistors to the PSU or using another PSU meant for Amiga.
The request for the whole computer sold "as is" is 640 590 euros plus shipping.
Shipping to Italy should be about 15 euros and shipping within Europe should be about 50 euros (I'll give you the actual quote once I have your shipping address) due to the size and the weight of the parcel.
Payment by paypal as gift or by Bank Transfer. I'm a quite old member here on Amibay with 100% positive feedback and I also have a great experience as a seller on other websites.
Feel free to ask any questions
Here you can see the whole gallery of pictures.
PS:
In order to get the final price of 640 euros I considered the price of each components as follows and then I applied a 20% discount on the total (it was 800 euros):
01. 45 euros
02. 30 euros
03. 30 euros
04. 5 euros
05. 10 euros
06. 5 euros
07. 15 euros
08. 10 euros
09. 10 euros
10. 100 euros
11. 280 euros
12. 35 euros
13. 90 euros
14. 40 euros
15. 25 euros
16. 25 euros
17. 25 euros
18. 20 euros
I'm not willing to sell the components separately, at the moment, but I would consider that option if I won't sell the whole computer within a few weeks.
The above prices should be considered the requested price if sold separately.
