This is another of those stories that never happen to me whereby someone buys what they think is a standard 030 A4000D only to discover that it has a PPC card and a Picasso IV with the never released 3Dfx upgrade on it.


Or the dingy, $5 garage sale A2000 that's loaded with a Wildfire + Inferno. :P

Congrats to Vlabguy, that's a nice card you got there!

You lucked out.  It's the best 060 card (with PPC) for Amiga 4000...you'll be able to run OS 4.1 on it soon.  :)

Just look at the prices those things fetch. I'm going to guess they often fetch more than was paid for this entire system.

Sure...but if a new PPC accelerator came out they would come down in price very fast.  Since that probably won't change (sigh...) the prices will probably remain high or get higher in the future, as long as people continue to use their A4000's and A3000's.

..Thats good to know.  I was taking apart the Eagle tower, just to check the motherboard and man that tower was build by a butcher I think.. multiple screw holes drilled.. ah..what a mess.. The physical tower is junk( imo) will remove the motherboard to check it out.
It also came with a Syjet 1.5gig internal drive, and a CV64 fully loaded with memory :-).

Eagle towers are converted AT towers.. there will be tons of drilled and tapped holes that arent used. this is normal,dont assume its junk,unless someone went nuts drilling more holes all over it.

eagle made some fine towers with tons of expansion room,and they housed every/any accelerator usually without interference,unlike the pain in the butt real AmigaTechnologies a4000t's. most eagle slotboards had 2 video slots and i think 7 zorro slots, i still kick myself for selling my eagle long ago.

Oh,and when you power the cyberstorm ppc up,be sure the ppc fan is working well,if its not it will cook itself.

nice find there!

Got ya.. Thanks for the info. Well just from the look of it who ever built this particular tower did not do a very clean job.  And your more than welcomed to the physical tower and the slot board if you want..I have no need for such a huge tower..
