Description (revised) Seller assumes all responsibility for listing this item.

Up for auction is the complete BBS known as Ami Connection, which also encompasses amicon.net and gnomes.org.

The package includes one Amiga A4000T / A4KT / 4000 Tower w/ 040, 16meg/8meg/2meg ram, 4 gig scsi HD, Picasso II+ card (not installed but included).  VGA Adapter, HD floppy drive. And OS 3.1  It also has an ethernet adapter card to get you on the net quickly and Miami Deluxe TCP/IP stack/dialer (registered)

The BBS software is CNet professional, as is running right now on the bbs (Telnet to amicon.net port 23) and all associated pfiles/doors, user database, etc.

This BBS has been running since 1982. Continuously, with downtime of only a few days during moves. It might be the oldest BBS running today.

It has been a support board for the author of CNet, as well as other software and hardware developers. I have used the BBS to support my business, and my own pfiles and door files.

The winner will get the complete BBS as it is operating right this very moment. I hope you will put it online and continue to support the Amiga community!

The gnomes.org domain will be given with the BBS, it will be your responsiblity to pay the registration fee and apply for the transfer (17 dollars a year). This domain was given to me by Scott Smith of TGGH (The Gnomes Guest House) and has a lot of history behind it. This domain should be used as a tribute to the old school amiga chat boards.

BONUS: Loads of software, loads of pics/graphics, mod files, etc.

Extra Bonus: The Empire BBS Game, written originally by Crazy Cad and then myself (Warren Peace / John M. Hoyt) and the associated keyfile creator goes with it. You will be able to sell licenses for Empire and continue development of the game in use at one time on THOUSANDS of boards world wide.  Probably over a thousand using it now.   You do not get the rights to "port" it to another platform, only the rights to continue development on the Amiga classic platform.

 

The amicon.net domain is also available, and will be included if the auction goes above 2500 dollars.

 

This is a piece of history, and is very unique. Don't pass it up. Use the BUY IT NOW option!

You will be responsible for shipping charges.  A monitor is available if you want it, but you pay shipping.  Extra amigas are available as backups. A backup tape system is available.

For more information, please email amicon@amicon.net

 

Thank you,

 

John / Warren Peace

Here are some pictures. Please keep in mind, this computer has been sitting here running, and collecting dust for years. I have not attempted to clean it, (or the floor around it!), so what you see is what you get so to speak. Oh, I did hit the front of it with a damp cloth to remove the dust bunnies.

Yes, this is an original A4000T, not a conversion (someone asked that question).

I will include an Amiga OS 3.5 package (original box, and a letter thanking the beta testers) to the winner if you buy it now.

BTW: They keyboard is like new, it has had a skin on it since birth. The mouse is a Wizard 3 button.

There is lots of registered software, AmiFTP, Miami DLX, AmTelnet, AmIRC, and lots of software uploaded to the BBS.
