blakespot,

One of my eBay saved searches alerted me to a new Commodore A1060 sidecar expansion. I would so love this to go with my Amiga 1000.

A PC hardcard in an ISA slot on the A1060 was the first official manner through which Commodore offered a hard disk expansion for the Amiga. A video card can be put in the unit to allow for dual-head usage of the Amiga 1000, one screen Amiga, one DOS PC. I'd love to get a Hercules in there, driving a side display.

@blakespot That's certainly an amount of money they're asking for it. Oof.

blakespot,

@loadhigh It is maybe the biggest unicorn in the Amiga’s history.

binarycrusader,

@blakespot @loadhigh maybe, but it seems like sheer insanity to have zero guarantees for that amount. I expect at least a smoke test for that much.

blakespot,

@binarycrusader @loadhigh If it's broke, I imagine target buyers can fix. I'd assume the challenge was waiting for me.

@blakespot Ahh, the classic "we put a new computer in your computer so you can have nice things"
