Product: Acorn Archimedes A3000 Replica PCB 31 sold

just perfect

My review has two parts, the product and shipping.
The product is quickly described: Looks and feels like the original. I am really happy with it. It's not fully assembled, yet, but have no worries. Much better that fixing original boards with battery damage.
The shipping is another story to tell. Bob was easy to communicate with. We run into some shipping touble. No big deal, but problems shows how a dealer handles problems and that tells much more than everything went without problems. Problems happens, the question is how someone deals with it. Bob communicated open and direct. All questions was answered very quickly and within a few days everything was solved and I received the package in Germany. Even with the problems it was quicker than I expected without! The next A3000 I will have on my workbench will receive another of Bobs boards.
I am really happy with the board :)

Awesome Black Amiga 500++ PCB

2nd purchase, picked up a White Amiga 500++ previously and wanted a Black one too. Great quality product, fast delivery, no issues. Brilliant service.

Product: Acorn Archimedes A3000 Replica PCB 31 sold

Excellent quality replica PCB

I purchased the PCB because i became enthusiastic about the A3000 by rescue repairs by another Big Ben Club member in the Netherlands.
I have a large collection of 8 bit Acorn Computers, but this was going to be my first 32bit ARM based machine. My goal was to built this machine with new or NOS parts available on e-Commerce sites or eBay. I currently have only two chips missing: The ARM2 processor and the VIDC chip. By borrowing these chips from an Archimedes 310 i have confirmed that the PCB works like a charm! I would assume that the majority of builders use this PCB with donor boards, but i currently have the precious last two chips visible on my horizon.
Thanks for this excellent replica, it was easy to build!

Response from Bob's Bits:

Thank you Rik! I'm so glad it was a success. A lot of time and money went into making this replica, and reviews like yours make it all worth it. Thanks again!
