My friend found the deal on the A4000Ts which includes
mine. They weren't
really cheap, and it was 3 in one deal surrounded by a ton of unknowns. All
the manuals for the other things like the 060 accelerator and stuff -- the
hardware wasn't with the systems. Ours have the slow CPU cards and the
A4000T cases look like cheap PCs and are crazy large and empty, and the IO
card on the back with the SCSI ribbons just seems poorly designed.
Yup. Mine's like that, too. Just an '040, and a case that seems far too big
for what's inside. If my "regular" 4000 was working I'd almost be
inclined
to use that instead - the T model looks a bit too much like a crazy
mid-90's PC for my tastes (although the SCSI's nice).
Thoughts on this, incidentally? https://www.ebay.com/itm/254545704933
It's just an empty case, not even a complete machine, which claims to have
sold. No PSU, no "middle" drive bay hardware. I wonder if a friend of the
seller "bought" it and it was just a trick to drive up prices or something
- $550 seems ridiculous for an empty box, but I don't "do" ebay and
don't
know how crazy people are or what kind of scams go on.
