What I would like to know is: :-?
- can I use any IDE hd (PC compatible) to replace the original? what is that strange thing it is attached to? (it seems like another hd);
Yes, you can use a normal 3.5" IDE drive
- can I use an HP SCSI Cdrw drive? will I be able to burn cd's?
If you have a SCSI controller, yes. However 'MakeCD' - Amiga CD writing software - is quite expensive.
- I would like to format the disks and install everything again, will I need to take all the expansion cards, or the installation is plug n´play similar?
If you know which files you need for the hardware, you could save them and then put them back onto the HD when you have formatted it. Perhaps put the new IDE drive as the main drive, and then you can use the 103MB drive as a secondary drive to copy the files to the new HD.
In some ways it would be 'educational' to install the hardware card by card.
Do you have the disks for the Cybervision and the Golem?
- I recently bid at eBay for a PPcCyberstorm, it was 200/50 Mhz, but the seller said it was running at 230/50 Mhz, is it that easy to overclock this boards?
I believe they were overclosked by the manufacturer. It theory it shouldn't be hard to do yourself, but its an expensive card to destroy by mistake!
- which one is better the Amiga Warp Engine 4040 (68040 @ 40Mhz)Accelerator w/SCSI-2 or the PPc?
Better? Well the PPC - it is (usually) an 060 and a PPC processor, and includeds an Ultra-Wide SCSI controller. However if the Warp Engine is a good price....
My Amiga is a desktop, can I change everything to a tower configuration?
Yes, many people have done this - I have considered it myself, but quite like the 'original feel' of the A4000 case.
Thanks, and forgive my ignorance :getmad:
