X68000 Interesting Auctions

[NFG]

I thought maybe we could use an interesting auction thread.  List those weird things you find.  =)

First up, the hard way to add 4MB to your X68.  What was the deal, someone had a stack of surplus 256kB SIMMs?  Kinda nutty if you ask me.  =)

 Hi Lawrence,

I am tempted to upgrade memory for my ACE-HD. I currently have 2MB installed. What would be the best way to add more ?

It kind of depends on your existing configuration.  My XVI has 2MB onboard, a 2MB SIMM expansion board, and a 10MB card in the I/O slot.  Your ACE has 1MB standard, how's the extra 1MB installed?

 Right now I have a PIO-6834-1M  expansion card by I.O DATA fitted in my X68000

Probably your only option then is a card for one of your I/O slots in the back.  There are many available, from simple RAM cards to SIMM-using boards to dual-purpose RAM+co-pro boards like the KGB-PRK.

[EDIT] Here's 4MB that'll work for you.

 Thanks for the info. I have a sweet idea. We could collaboratively make a page with info about various X68000 hardware and pictures. Kind of like big book of Amiga hardware. Check it out: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/
