Hi,
Apologies for abusing this email last. I have an Amstrad E3 for sale. It is in immaculate condition and almost indistinguishable from new. It was bought last year and has PBL V4.9. I bought it thinking that I would set it up as a cheap ssh terminal, but didn't find the time for the project and it basically has been sitting in the box for most of its life. I did try to load Linux directly using a serial cable and showed that it boots ok, but after that I spent no more time on it. The internal flash memory is still in factory condition. The gamepad is still in its packaging. All the accessories and the instruction manual are there, so is the box. It has never been plugged to the telephone socket.
I'll throw in a serial cable (a simple one not a level shifter) which connects the E3 to the serial port of a PC. It was made professionally by an electronics technician. It works fine with the E3.
I am selling it because I'm moving to Australia and don't want the hassle of taking it with me. I am not sure how much I can get for this, but I will accept 12 pounds or the highest offer. Postage will be an extra 8.70 pounds by First Class recorded. Best is to pay by paypal but I also accept bank transfers or cheque. You are welcome to pick it up in person -- I live in Durham.
Thanks for your attention.
cheers,
George
I'll offer £20 for the phone - I want to have a spare if I going invest time into my current E3. I live in Chester-le-Street so I can pick it up myself and pay cash.
Regards,
Edward Scott
