Just added ten new A3400 cards on eBay in case anyone is looking for spares. I think $9.95 is a pretty good deal for one. I could be wrong... but I guess I'll find out in 7 days! lol
-
Hey cool. I put a bid on one :) I am from Canada, too...where in Canada are you from?
I'm from London, Ontario
-
Right now I'm in Prince Albert, SK. (Like it says under my name :)
-
Hey Jag, you got an A3000 to go with it?? :-D
-
Actually, I still have two A3000T's (both need power supplies) One works 100% and has maximum RAM on the motherboard (I think that means it's got 8MB of FAST but I'd have to double check). I WOULD have listed this if Centsible hadn't screwed me on the power supply I bought from them.
The 2nd 3000T has problems but before I could troubleshoot it I sold the 3rd 3000T/040 and along with it went my only good power supply. (I had 3 3000T's at one point).
The working 3000T has an A3000T/040 bezel with a small melt mark (it got stuck against a radiator at one point) on the side of the bezel. The other is in perfet condition but isn't badged 040. I'd love to list these soon as I find power supplies for them! :)
-
Hmm.. I actually wouldn't mind the MB out of the good A3kT.. you gonna eBay it or would you consider parting it out?
-
Got any A2000 accelerators?
-
Besides this 040 one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2766970242&category=4598&rd=1), which I can't guarantee works perfectly because I can't test it (although it did work last year when I tossed it in a 2000 to see if it fired up and it did), I do have a couple 2630 boards, and some other doodads (a couple 68000 socket replacements with 68030's on them). I know the 2630 boards I have work, I tested them both completely before selling my last working Rev 7 motherboard in the spring.
I guess I really should spend some time and get one of these 2000's (or 2500's) I have working again. I robbed so many chips from them for other people that I might end up with some "1.3 originals" but at least I can test stuff on them.
-

Won't be parting them out. I'd prefer selling the whole unit once I get a power supply for it. I had it up and running and was using it as my "test bed" for various cards before I sold the other new 3000T and needed this unit's PS for it. It's just gotta be the nicest original Amiga design ever. The 3000's are such nice machines, so well built, and even nice to look at... the 3000T"s are just plain sexy.
-
I have a 3200 card, if you want some real oddities.
-
That's neat, the whole board or just a cpu card?
I have an AGA graphics card that predates the AGA chipset by 5+ years. :)
No, it's not actually an AGA chipset card, it's an "Advanced Graphics Adapter" (goes in the 2000's video slot) and give you flicker free CGA video output. Now there's a hot graphics card... :-D
-
Just looking back at the subject title..
Is an 030-25 considered an accelerator as far as A4000 is concerned? I mean, there were never any slower A4000 systems than that were there :-?
-
Sure, it is a lot faster than ZERO!
Try to turn on an Amiga 4000 without one of these in there. :-D
-
What, as opposed to a CSPPC / 060 ?
I know what you mean, but I was curious about the idea that there may have been a slower CPU card for the processor slot than 030/25. Wasnt there a 16MHz A3000 machine for instance?
-
Sure, and there were 68020 A3200 cards as well (which is what these are if you remove the 030 and shove an 020 to the left of it). Those work in 4000s and 3000s...
Besides, these are listed in the Commodore parts index as "A3400 68030 Accelerator Board"
-
Thats interesting. Hmmm, A4000/020. Thats a new one on me :-)
-
@Karlos
Wasnt there a 16MHz A3000 machine for instance?
Yes, which is the only reason why a 3000 owner would buy one of these. The 3000's processor is on the motherboard, like the 1200. You would need this card to upgrade a 16MHz 3000 to 25MHz, which is why the card is numbered 3xxx instead of 4xxx :-D
-
Not the only reason...
The best reason a 3000 (or 4000) owner would buy one of these is to have as a spare to test their computer with should it start failing to boot. WIth one of these known working cards sitting in a bag you know you can eliminate your 040 or 060 board as being the faulty part should it still not boot with this thing popped in. Besides it's TEN BUCKS man... name another accelerator card you can grab as a spare/test unit for ten bucks. Plus you can shove a 50MHz 68882 in there easily and cheaply and have a nice enough FPU.
(I should mention that I have 6 new 50MHz 68882 chips here in sealed static bags also. ;)

LOL like mine... /me rushes off to start bidding :-D

Did you get one? If not, I do have a few more of them...
-
what happened to the 68060/50 accelerator cards you had for sale? you still got those for sale?
-
They're "new" 68060/66's and they're also by Apollo. Nobody seemed to be interested in the Apollo cards, so I haven't comitted to getting them yet.
-
dude i sent you three emails and private mails but u sent nothing back.
PM me if u want
-
I have no messages about them on here, or in my email box.
-
hi mate,
i mailed u again.
-
So would one of these cards work in a 1200 mikronik zorro board or was that just ppc cards?
Thanks.....

@Jagabot:
I have a spare A3000D power supply here I'm probably not going to ever use.
Not sure if the A3000T power connector is the same? I imagine it is.
2nd hand, but works perfectly. Only minor problem is the very end square rod bit of the power switch is broken off, though switch still works fine.
You can have it free for the price of freight (probably about US$15-20??).
It is 230V 50Hz, but depending on your electronic abilities could probably convert it to 110V if that's what they use in your area.
I also have most of an A3000D case in good order, and a spare A3000 DD floppy drive with mounting bracket in working condition.
Oh, and a spare A3630 just in case you sell all yours then decide you need one again :-)
Anthony.

The 3000T PS is a different animal. Longer cords, different pinouts (I think, but could be wrong about the pinouts, too lazy to check :) and definitely different Watts (more). I have a bag of power switch plungers for 4000/3000 power supplies so I could fix that, but I don't think it'll work in the 3000T, or if it does it certainly won't go where it needs to (the 3000T has wire connections to the top bezel where the power rocker switch is.
I do appreciate the offer though =)
-
Ahh, so much for that idea then!
The 3000T must be a lot more different than I thought. I've worked on almost every Amiga model except A3000T and CDTV...
Do you have any detailed pictures of what's inside the 3000T? I'd be interested to see what goes on inside that whopping great case.
-
Hey, what a neat idea, I'll go take some shots of the 3000T I have here, including the power supply etc.
Maybe it will be educational to somebody out there. :)
-
Hi Jagabot,
I mailed your normal email accounts, can you let me know if they got through okay. Thanks.
cheers
-
Hi Jagabot,
Im still waiting for ur mail. Are you not selling these any more then?
-
Hmm, I replied to the one (you asking about the 060/66 boards). I'll reply to it again. That's the one you meant right?
You can always get ahold of me at sales@amiga_deals.com as well (remove the _ it's there to avoid spambots).
-
Hi Jagabot,
Yep the 060/66 ones. Thanks. my other email address is in the post after this one.
-
Hi Jagabot,
I have mailed you again. I sent about 5emails now to your addesses, if you havnt had them there must be some network problems on ur mail server.
can you mail me at ( mawebring @ yahoo .com ) thanks.
-
Hey Jagabot. Long time lurker first time poster. :-) I think I was the happy recipient of two of your boards from that auction. Not to sound too ignorant (I've been out of Amiga touch for years and only recently got the bug to play with the stuff again) but what are these 060/66 boards you are speaking of? I'm not too savy on the hardware, or the software for that matter anymore.
EDIT: Never mind. I just read the stuff on AmigaHardware. What are the issues that cause the lack of interest in these boards?
