Hello.
After a find from eBay, I now have a loose working motherboard of an Amiga 3000T. The board (which is a Rev 6.1, A/W 313194, FAB 313193, pic
here) have had battery damage but was fixed by the previous owner and there is now a new battery installed and the affected area is restored. There are Kickstart 3.1 ROMs installed and there is 2 Mb of chip-RAM and 12 Mb of Fast-RAM (I had suitable zip-rams at hand).
I have built an adapter to use the board with a modern ATX power supply (
pic, the jumper is used to switch on the PSU). I have booted the board several times and everything seems to be working.
Also for testing purposes I built a small thingy with the needed power- and hdd- leds and a reset key (
pic, jumper is for testing the keybd/mouse lock).
I found a good re-make of the schematics
here.
I have now collected almost all the cables and parts I need for a basic setup (still looking for an external SCSI terminator, the board is missing the terminator-resistor packs) and now the big question (pun intended) remains: where can I get a case to house the board? I am not expecting to find an original case (still, if anyone here does have an extra 3000T case for parts, I am interested!) but thinking of getting some very large ATX case where to board could be made to fit.
Any ideas on how to proceed from here?
