Title: For Sale: Ramiga Z7 4000 Tower Computer - A4000 Based
Post by: amigasociety on December 01, 2011, 12:11:42 AM
Along with some other Amiga goodies I acquired last week came a super huge tower A4000 based computer.  Appears this was a special tower on wheels with a special extender board with tons more slots for add-on cards.

The case is easy to open and both sides and front come off as seen in one of the pictures below.  This way you have easy access to all the cards.

Here is what I can tell you about it with my limited Amiga knowledge.

#1 It did boot before I stole the working floppy drive from it and stuck my possible bad floppy in its place.  While the good drive was in I booted to Workbench 3.1 off floppy.

#2
No hard drive inside, just a floppy drive that seems to try and access the floppy but I can't get system to boot with it.  Could be it just needs a good cleaning with a 3.5" cleaning disk.  I don't have one so could not try that.  Electronically it seems to try and do its thing so possible chance a cleaning will help.

#3
Appears to have about 45MB of RAM when I booted to workbench. Appears to have a Fastlane Z3 RAM SCSI Board as seen in pictures below

#4
That is all I can tell you.... hehehe. other than I was told it was a A4000 based system, with an 68040 Upgrade Card inside.  The attached pictures show the insides and outside so you can get an idea of what this is.

If you goal is to have a Amiga 4000 based system, in a large tower, with oodles of expansion slots, this is it.  It booted to Amiga Workbench 3.1 from floppy when I had a good drive inside so that is a good sign it is a working system.

Will only ship in USA as this thing is large and heavy.

In the end, if no one wants the full system, I may pull all the PCBs and sell separate later.

For now, would be nice to find a home for this A4000 based system.

Make offers.  Also open to trades!

You can buy the whole Ramiga Z7 4000 Computer and it includes the special Video Toaster keyboard you see in the picture and a power cord.

Some of the items in the attached pictures are not for sale (yet) like the Toaster 4000 items but then again, if you need them, make an offer on those also.  I have two Toaster 4000 Cards so could sell one card (both unknown if they work as I have no clue about Video Toaster).  One Toaster 4000 appears to be a complete set with original box and floppy and cd and manual.

Open to any and all offers (within reason).  Just remember this is a large system, will only ship to USA, and if I were a betting mad, shipping from west to east costs a good $100.  Would have to weigh it and all hat first but expect high shipping so factor your offer with a guess shipping will be around $100 if you are back east, cheaper as you make your way west, free if you are local to Sacramento area and come pick this up.  It has tons of memory, a 68040, with lots if potential.  tj

Pics of the battery area are a must, and knowing what type of 68040 card is installed would be nice as well.  A 3640 is not really an "upgrade" card.

Lucky TJ.  I'd have loved to get my hands on it, but the wife would have killed me and I'm already committed to getting a X1000.
