My new Amiga 4000T - work in progress

Wow, she is indeed yellow.

I had one of these which i really regret selling and they are fine machines. Do you have the CPU card with it?

You could try Vesalia, maybe they have an AV board, but honestly you will be wanting an RTG card like the Picasso IV (Thats what i had).

You could try putting in a workbench disk and see if you can hear the disk boot up.

dougal: Only now I realised I don't have a CPU card! :furious: I see one A3640 on eBay.de, might try on that one. Or should I prefer searching something higher specsed?

Well i guess an A3640 is pretty good but i believe Cyberstorm MKII (040 or 060) is probably better. I am no longer up to date on the A3000/A4000 CPU/Accelerator cards, but i believe the Cyberstorm MKII will allow you to have up to 128MB 32 bit fast ram on it.

My A4000T had a Cyberstorm MKII 060 and it was fast but when i added a Picasso IV graphics card it put it in a whole different game.

The A4000T is an amazing machine and you have loads of upgrade options.

Take care of it and build it up at your own pace

Once it has been fumigated and you have video output then you should have one hell of a nice machine there.  

As for the keyboard, I've been using a PS-2 adapter with my towered A4000D (same for the mouse).  Now replacing a keyboard means spending $10 at Walmart.

Yes. I used to use the Lyra2 PS/2 adapter on my A4000D. It works very well with practically any PC PS/2 keyboard, though i must admit nothing beats the feeling of using an original Commodore/Amiga keyboard.
