Managed to catch a bit of the show. Was interesting about the SCSI Handshaking… Will try and catch the rest later. Thanks for the content.. 👍🏻

In this video, we install a Fastlane Z3 Fast SCSI2 card in my Amiga 4000 and use a BlueSCSIv2 to upgrade the machine with much faster disk IO and the potential of a CD-Rom and WIFI based networking.  However, the Fastlane Z3 did not work at first, so follow me as I trouble-shoot the card, go over its quirks, get it working, set it up for optimal performance and go on to benchmark it.

Video:  Amiga 4000: Is the Fastlane Z3 the best home for a BlueSCSIv2 Upgrade?

I'd love to hear your feedback on the video, in its comments, or indeed here. The Fastlane Z3 was something of a unicorn before I bought it,
And now, having used it, it feels more like a porcupine. Watch the video to see why. Its a complex beast...

Rear sockets U182 and U183 are for 27C220 type chips and the front sockets U180 and U181 are for 27C400 type chips. You can only have one set populated at a time.

Early A3000s need a ROM tower if U180 and U181 are used. It is unclear to me which revisions truly need it. 7.1 definitely needs it and 9.0 definitely does not, but this is not all of the revisions. :-)

U182 and U183 are always the correct 27C220 pinout in A3000 motherboards.

1.4 ROMs do not stop you from using a Z3 memory card, I have this combination in my A3000, but I forget which revision the board is now. It has a ROM tower and IIRC it is 7.x.

I found a few more data points here:
https://www.amigalove.com/viewtopic.php?t=1339

7.3 boards shipped with ROM towers, 8.9 did not need a ROM tower.

Most likely 6.9 will need a ROM tower too if 27C400 style ROMs are to be used.

An educated guess is that all of the people who burn KS ROMs for sale currently will do 27C400 chips and aren't aware of the tower-less 27C220 possibility for older A3000 revisions.

Are other programs enabling solid window dragging apart from mcp and powerwindows on AmigaOS 3 ?

What I would like is a utility with this sole purpose preferable that works better with new intuition and layers from AmigaOS 3.2
