****************************************
Please note : pictures are of a previously sold BBCA3000.
What you'll get will be so similar that I don't post pictures of the exact machine you'll get.
All machines I sell are extremely clean, be it casings, keyboards, or mices.
The motherboard has been cleaned by myself, and there is a brand new high quality rechargeable battery fitted for you, before shipping.
Any question please do not hesitate to ask.
*****************************************

This is a refurbished and modded to get better sound BBC Acorn Archimedes A3000.
Excellent condition.
New rechargeable battery fitted for the sale.
Modded to get unfiltered sound output, ***** and with an audiophile quality Burr Brown operational amplifier instead of the standard quality amplifier used by Acorn.*****
In a way this is a rare machine thanks to this modding.
This gives a cripser, neater sound, and not muffled as standard machines.
4 Mbytes RAM fitted.
RISC OS 3.11 ROMs.

Comes with fully cleaned mouse, SCART lead (battery holder to force your TV to AV mode if necessary, just insert a battery in the holder).

The plug is British but I provide an adaptor for French users (and some other European countries too, as French plugs are compatible in other countries, too. Example : Greece).

I'll provide about 50 disks with what you are looking for (games, demos, apps, tunes, just tell me).
It'll include the much acclaimed Archimedes version of Elite, and freely distributable other games like Phaeton, Big bang, Revolver.
Many demos and 8 channel tunes too.
Various applications and utilities.

More important : after the sale, we can stay in touch and as I am fond of all Acorn 32 bits systems, I will provide support for you to enjoy these amazing machines.

Price :

255 euros including shipping to France (Colissimo national).
285 euros to ship anywhere else in the world.(Colissimo international).

I always double pack the items I sell, in a big parcel with a lot of protective material, and items themselves are independently packed and protected too.

Parcel will be sent insured, and signed for.

This Archie is modded with an audiophile quality Burr Brown operational amplifier, as a replacement of the standard quality amplifier.
Gives a brighter, neater sound.
Examples can be heard on my YT channel 'Zarchos'

See this video I had uploaded, where I use the sound output from a modded BBC A3000 to record the in-game tunes of Nevryon :

Again : after the sale I'll offer free support to help you use the machine and provide additional software, as long as you send me some disks and pay postage to return them to you.
Yes this is a free service, I won't earn a penny.

My idea is to have more people using the Archies all over the world, to resurrect the Archimedes demo and games scene.
Some projects are on their way for this machine, to use the newly developped Raster Manager coded by Steve Harrison of QTM fame (QTM is the fastest and perfectly accurate MOD and other formats sound player, available for the Acorn 32 bit machines, provided on the many disks I provide with this Archie) and I'd be delighted if you are a musician and / or graphics artist, and you could provide these materials for these upcoming projects.
Of course if you intend to program in assembly language on this machine, I can provide all necessary infos, docs, tools to enjoy the power and ease of programming of the ARM chip, being myself an ARM ASM programmer.

If you are not familiar with Acorn and the Archimedes, you can watch this video where I am interviewed :

Due to the legacy of the ARM chip designed by Acorn for its Archimedes computers (More than 95 billions chips have been used worldwide so far) for many people the Archimedes could be one of the most important computer ever built :

In short, this is a must have computer for any serious retrocomputing enthousiast.
