been a few weeks....

@ lost_loven

did you get your cable yet? anyone else on this side of the pond get it ?

From what I read they are mail out now.. I haven't received mine yet but hopefully any day! Then the hardware porn I will post! I also read that there is a disk provided to and both flash upgrades are newer than what is on Jens site.. So we shall see!

How long have you guys been waiting? Let me ask you guys this if it wasnt an amiga company would you be this patient? its rather absurd at this point.

If this wasn't a amiga company, I would be all out mad and looking for a refund. But also knowing its a amiga company and things do happen and/or gets over looked for older hardware I do have some forgiveness and I have other products from Jens that work great and his support has been very good in my eyes. He replies to all my emails and answers them timely. If this was some other bigger out fit like I said I would probably rampage.
I ordered pretty much day 1. I can wait, no rush, I have a ton load more projects on the go to keep me busy.  
But the day the cable comes in, my poor wife won't see me for awhile as  hide in my office with BEER in hand...

GO JETS GO!!!!!!!!

There are jumper settings to go back to the 030 on board.. But maybe put the 040 back in and retry a few more times..Hopefully I get my cable in next few days.  Over at A1K.org there was similar probs and quote"  If necessary, try another Amiga, because that can also be due to a defective CIA. Or because maybe the pin strip is not properly plugged in the plug. So yes, keep trying until it works.

Or it's due to a broken cable - the likelihood is low with a brand new cable, but if you tear it sufficiently strong, you'll break everything. In the case, the wiring plan is public in the wiki; You can use a continuity checker pin by pin to check if the connections are still OK.

Have any other cards in? pull them? try different slots? Maybe discount the scsi drive when booting with the floppy so system sees nothing but. We have similar A3000D, hopefully we can figure something.

The upgrade was a success first try here is some pics and how I held the cable from boot up.  
And that is with all my cards in including the 68040 still running. Now will try install the 120gig SSD  and the 32gig cf with microsd adapter.. Stay tuned!

get it going?

You will get the updated version and should have no problems.. I just tried out a ide to Sd card adapter and works great. I tried various hard drives as well and no problems.. Don't bother with SSD drives.. I tried a 120 gig and no go.
Now I have gone from no space to way to much space! Its a quest to fill
