You choose the next Amiga items to be X-rayed...
« on: May 17, 2007, 10:57:28 PM »
Well, I have a few tests to do with some image plates. One of them is a sharpness test for a film scanner. So I have the opportunity to X-ray some Amiga hardware. Now I am going to let you choose which two of these I X-ray. Bear in mind that I may not get the chance to do any more of these, so choose wisely:

1) [d][color=ff0000]PIV[/color][/d] (Goes to Tigger)
2) DKB3128 (has 4 SIMMS on board).
3) Technosound sampler, Vidi24RT digitizer and Commodore 030 card.
4) Cyberstorm PPC/060 .
5) RF Modulator, A4000T AV module and a few 72 pin SIMMs.

Those are the items that will fit on the plate I am testing. Photos of all these items are already in the photo album, in case you don't know what they are.
Some of the choices involve multiple items because they are small enough to X-ray on one plate together. Note that the PPC card has a non-standard fan held in place by Pratley's putty, which may spoil the appearance of the card on X-ray. I don't know what the radiological density of the putty is.

Okay, now to make it interesting...the first person to vote in this thread will automatically get his/her choice as number 1. I will give that person the X-ray and they can choose whether to put it in the photo album or keep it for themselves. Number 2 I will tally votes and it goes in the album.

Don't say I don't do nothin' for y'all. I cater for the greedy and the curious  :-D

Okay, Tigger, you get the PIV X-ray. The rest of you can vote for the other choices.

I loved the ones you've already done.

Gotta be the PPC/060 since you so rarely see them in the real world it'd be interesting to see the insides of them now :-D
Beside you already did the MKII and I wanna see the rest of the "family"!
