Post by: jimbo100 on July 13, 2008, 11:23:30 AM: We would like one of those, but alas I dont think it's going to happen. You would also need a Ramsey 07.

Good luck with finding those two anywhere no matter how much money you have!

Post by: Ideal on July 13, 2008, 11:42:50 AM: Ramsey 07 already got that, so I needed the DMAC, but it seems it is as rare as hens teeth.

Post by: Ideal on July 14, 2008, 07:44:13 AM: I guess I would be willing to pay $70 USD for one chip DMAC-04.

Post by: alexh on July 14, 2008, 09:42:11 AM: You're all mad. PC users showing signs of upgrade fever!

I bet you cannot tell me WHY you want these chips (other than they are the latest).

You've just read that they are the latest and want them!

You can find them at amigashop.com (http://www.amigashop.com/shop.php?s_2=&grp=2)

I believe they still have both Ramsey-7 and Super DMAC-4 in stock. The link will take you directly to their spare chips page.

Post by: jimbo100 on July 14, 2008, 11:15:14 AM: Any chance they have an email address? Pretty hard to read this page in it's native language!
Title: Re: WTB: DMAC-04 for amiga 3000.
Post by: arnljot on July 14, 2008, 11:16:51 AM: you can reach them at "post - at - datakompaniet - dot - no"

Let us hear if there is still life in them :) They have quite a lot of choice items in their list. But at quite a premium too.

Cheers

Post by: dannyp1 on July 14, 2008, 02:33:24 PM: The DMAC 04 sold for $70 years ago when Software Hut still had them. They have been out of them for a very long time.

Post by: jimbo100 on July 14, 2008, 02:44:19 PM: Ramsey rev 7 A3000/4000 - $88.75US
WD SCSI rev 8 chip for A3000/A2091 - $81.46US
Super Buster rev 11, A3000/4000 - $118.34US
Super DMAC rev 4 - $120.92US

Your complete A3000 upgrade!

I assume this is with taxes etc as there are two amounts, this is the greater amount.

1 USD = 5.06923 NOK

Post by: alexh on July 14, 2008, 02:51:34 PM: It doesnt look good that their shop has a last updated tag of 2006 and in the PC section there are no core2duo chips after E6850 which corresponds to the second half of 2007.

I'm afraid there is virtually no chance this is still in stock.

Post by: bwperez on October 24, 2008, 05:31:05 AM: Have these things really become that hard to find? I have a Ramsey 07 and DMAC 04 combination that was supposed to go into an A3000 desktop. The problem is the A3000 hasn't been powered on in 5+ years and I don't have a 3640 so there really isn't a need other than it would be cool to have it with the latest/greatest chips.

Pros:

1 - $200 is an awful lot for a single chip.
2 - I don't even know WHY I need the chip.
3 - It may be another 5 years before I install the chip and power the A3000 on.
4 - Someone else has a real need. -- I think.
5 - I'll probably only regret the sale for the 10 minutes it takes to wrap and ship the item.

Cons:

1 - I'll never find one again if I end up needing one.

The cons are pretty weak. Send me a PM.

Post by: nishtek on October 25, 2008, 06:56:53 PM: If you're trying to upgrade from 68030 to 68040, then you may also want newer scsi chip. You need it regardless.
i just offered it here, its expensive and little room for making $, hence i don't want to order too many.
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=38747

To do 040, as almost all A3000 were delivered with the revision combination of DMAC-02 and RAMSEY-04. The problem with this combination is, the DMAC-02 does not like 68040 boards like the A3640 due to heat and timing problems. Though, I have heard of DMAC-02 being ok with some 68040 boards.

Keep in mind even after you get newer Ramsey 07, Super Buster 11, Super DMAC 04, WD-SCSI 08 , there's no guarantee your miggy will like 68040. However, the SCSI 8 chip is a must fix for any amiga 3000 regardless of cpu.

If someone here has the chips, than I recommend you buy their Amiga 3000 motherboard also.

trolling? how's what I stated nonsense? do you own an amiga 3000?
Not forcing anyone to upgrade, simply will order fewer chips if no or little interest is shown. No problem. I doubt you'll find this chip easily (need to upgrade my A3000 also).
Took me 3 hours to locate them. :-D

I don't know if that can help.. But why not to give it a try?!? :-)

Post by: dannyp1 on October 28, 2008, 06:53:04 PM: That's not gonna work. They've been out of them for years. As you can see they sold for a pretty good price back then. :-o
