Title: Hardware Of The Week.
Post by: trekiej on May 14, 2016, 01:14:23 AM

Hello.
I wanted to talk about the Highflyer.
Here is a link.

I had a friend that did a lot of toaster work back when it was in heavy use. He used 4 A4000 machines with these boxes. They gave him more room for drives and allowed more time base correctors to be installed by adding in some extra ISA slots, not much more than that to talk about. It was another option to go with instead of using an external tower in addition to the A4000D.

They did make a 4000 with more slots.  They called it the "4000T".  :lol:

It is not a High-flyer, but is better over all.
