Title: Had a good day today!
Post by: SteveJames on March 19, 2006, 07:16:27 PM
Had a 4000 given to me today!
Complete with 1942 monitor and Cybervision 64.
Also came with boxes of coverdisks and CD`s.
So... You could say I'm a happy bunny!
It's the 030 version, I have a Cyberstorm 060 from my 4000 which died :(
Would this be a straight swap?
As I don't want to have to re-install everything.
Also must say the graphics card is superb, been set up properly, seems better than my Picasso IV in my dead 4000!
Or is that sacrilege?!!!

Thanks people!
Had a root through the extra stuff I've been given.
Lucky enough to have every CU CD and every AF CD, also a boatload of AF,CU, Amiga Shopper, Amiga computing and AUI cover disks in mint condition!
There is a God after all.

No. You need to copy the 060 libraries onto the hard drive before swapping. You also have to change jumpers on the motherboard when going from an 030 to an 060 board.

J100 2-3 = CLK 90 EXT
J104 2-3 = CPU CLK EXT
