Amiga 2500 *NASA* Telemetry Lab:
$4951.05

This is something you don\'t come across every day. This is a workhorse Amiga 2500 that came from NASA\'s telemetry labs. It still has the NASA Asset tags and a 2005 Inventory sticker.
Everyone knows Amigas were great computers, and so did NASA. They used them, amongst other things, to collect telemetry data from various space assets. There are 2 specialized cards that are installed in the machine to read & write all the telemetry data. One is called an Amiga 2000 Serial Interface, and the other is an Amiga 2000 Remote DMA Output Controller. They both have a set of what look like 50pin SCSI cables that I am assuming were connected to external drive arrays or other equipment to read/write massive amounts of data.
The computer has many battle scars so-to-speak. Lots of scratches and nicks all around the case. There is some faceplate discoloration and the floppy eject button is missing.
The computer has a GVP 68030 Accelerator card which is running @ 40Mhz from what I can see on the CPU card. I believe it has 16MB of RAM installed and everything appears to be working.
To confirm the authenticity of the machine, I was in contact with NASA\'s Chief of Infrastructure. I have enclosed a partially redacted letter (to protect some personal information) that Ralph sent me providing some personalized background on the computer and its history. It\'s truly fascinating what the space program was able to accomplish with the aid of these historic machines.
As per Ralph\'s information, this Amiga was one of the last Amigas in use at NASA, and was responsible for supporting over 150 space missions!!!
Ralph sums it all up really well with his closing line \"It is truly a piece of aerospace history\" !!!
For the ultimate collector, this is your chance to get a truly unique and authenticated piece of history.
The story behind NASA and Amigas in the Telemetry Lab can be found on Youtube under the title \"Even NASA used Amiga\'s!\"
