Rebuilding A3000T-more questions
« on: October 21, 2008, 05:09:30 AM »
I'm rebuilding the a3000T I bought at AmiWest2008.
So far I installed e-net 2065 and a picasso II.
Working fine.

My questions are:
Did this machine come with a hi density floppy?
What was the size of the hard drive?
How many scsi connectors on the internal cable?
Was the external terminator standard? (passive or active)?
What does the key do? (Didn't get one, just curious)

I'm sure I'll think of more questions.
Any suggestions?

edit
I think I need special rails for 5 1/4 drives to lock in,
I have the rubber bumpers but they just slide in and aren't secure.
I also would like to buy the commodore 25pin ext passive ternimator.
Does anyone have the pregnant 3 button mouse?

end edit

@ Tjlazar

Thx for the info.

I only bought the big box and never had a chance to see the 3000T close-up.

Great info.
So, I just need a couple of things to be stock.

No one I know here in Sac has a 3000T, but a few had 3000D.
I had a very nice 3k that I set up with AMIX which I sold.

I missed it, so I thought it would be fun to spec out the 3kT I found at the AmiWest2008 show.

Thx,

Michael

Everythings going fine.

I found almost all the hardware I needed.
Still missing the external scsi terminator
and the keys.

More questions

are the 5 1/4 rails special? what I have won't lock in.
I would like to get the 3 button pregnant mouse and the
commodore ext scsi terminator.

update
I got a 3000 keyboard (has short cable) and a 2 button pregnant mouse (also short cable) and am waiting for the manual.
Should I get a 3640 card?

I'll have this just like new soon! (yeah)
