Android8675 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 ...not at all like that shitty 60 MB Falcon, this is the more powerful 80 MB model. Because... MegaBytes! http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-ATARI-FALCON-030-80-MEGA-VERSION-32-Bit-COMPUTER-Motorola-68030-RETROGAME-/271907274031? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triads Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I feel ripped off with my inferior model.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christos Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I have a 4GB falcon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyfulcoder Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Does anyone know why it has the round holes on each side? They are on the section that contains the function keys. I've only seen these holes on a couple Falcons sold on ebay or maybe it is the same Falcon being resold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Android8675 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 I have a 4GB falcon! Dude 80MB is so much better, because 4<80 and GB comes before MB, so MB is better. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exxosuk Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Is it me, or does that look more like a STE case ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junosix Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) It's definitely using an ST keyboard, and the case looks like it's ST grey - but the bottom has the cutout for the fan. Weird! EDIT - though it looks like the keyboard base is dark like the Falcon's so maybe it had the keycaps swapped over from an ST keyboard for a different language? Though the label on the bottom indicates it's German already and the keyboard matches that. Edited July 17, 2015 by Junosix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Some Falcons did come with the lighter ST keyboard instead and the ones I've noticed were German models. That's definitely a Falcon case though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidLittleMan Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Nothing unseen. Just another silly seller, who dreams about getting huge money because total irrelevant spec. Hey, I have Atari ST 520, which serial number is in fact birthday of Madonna. This week only 3000 Euros, after that will be much more .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattlacey Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Does anyone know why it has the round holes on each side? They are on the section that contains the function keys. I've only seen these holes on a couple Falcons sold on ebay or maybe it is the same Falcon being resold? Yeah I've seen those on there before too.... wonder what the deal is? Security cables or some kind of mounting maybe? I really don't get these guys, do they really expect someone in the market for these machines to not know what they're worth?

Android8675 Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 I think the computer just trades hands between resellers. I'd say they have no idea what they are worth, and their target audience is other resellers. What sucks is it inflates the prices on an already pricey system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
