Advice for trouble-shooting & booting a A4000T - Success!

[SACC-guy]

No, kickstart is loaded from chips.
Just remove the zorro cards, reset the 060 card...should boot to insert workbench screen.

You will need a workbench disk with the 060 libs and the 040 fakea nd real libs.

[SACC-guy]

Joining SACC is always a good idea. The members always help fellow amigians.

just copy the small 040lib and real 040lib and the 060lib to libs:
available on several sites aminet, etc

It might help to id the best 060lib for your board (phase5 or what?)

next meeting dec 5th (I think) check sacc.org or call chuck

All 4000Desktops and early 4000towers came with hi-density drives.
In amiga speak that was 1.76k (1.44 for pc's)
Until they ran out of that special drive.
BTW, the 4000T was also the only Amiga that does not have an external connector for an outside floppy drive.
Other amigas came with 88ok floppy drives. Which as you discovered can be swapped.

You can still find DD floppies or use HD's with the second hole covered trick.

Mine are OEM Amiga floppies, not copies.

But yes, I guess it can be bad.

Hey Sac Amiga group, any of you here reading this thread?

Any of you running A4000T?

I would like to bring the A4000T to your next meeting.  :hammer::hammer:

Yes, several sacc members have seen your post.
Yes, you are welcome to come to the dec 5th meeting (as I posted several times before)
It's normally a shared holiday meet (after amiwest)
please refer to the sacc dot org page for location info
Please contact Chuck so he can arrange to have the help you need (ie ask the 4000T owner(s) to make an effort to attend)
(if you haven't brought all the items you need and no-one else has either...)tools, monitors, cables, disks, extras, etc...
Yes, we have 4000T owning members.
