Title: Hello from an A3000 owner...
Post by: ah802 on September 16, 2005, 03:24:03 AM

I have an A3000, Retina Z3BLT 4 meg card and some other goodies.. running O/S 3.9 on 3.1 chips and 16 megs of ram and a few gigs of SCSI HD. I've added a Syquest, and CD drive along with a whole wack of misc external add on hardware.

I'm one of the older Amiga users, coming up from the A1000, and have a hefty collection of software (in the thousands).

Just dusted off my A3000 to see if still works.  It powered up great and looks as if I will be up a little while relearning how/what works.  I too have had A1000, A500.  Been a long time user until family came along and...job that I needed to use PC compat. so, sniff... I put my A3000 away for a little while.  Hmmm. looks like I will be upgrading some things... need new keyboard (or converter),battery, bigger HD, and O/S and chips.

I would make the battery a priority.  At least remove it off of the motherboard if you haven't already to prevent damage.

Thanks! Gonna give the keyboard fix a try.  This keyboard looks to have tons of tiny screws.  I better do this where I can pick up fallen screws easily. :-)

Thanks.  Battery is already removed along with posts(ears) :-(  I will probably do a coin lithium convert that was suggested in hardware forum.

Or just don't install a battery at all....

My A4000 is connected to the 'net via an always-on ADSL connection, so it just grabs the time from a time server as soon as it boots up. No modification, and no battery replacement. Much better. :)
