I received my Amiga 4000T and I am facing a problem with it...

Hi,

Write down what cards are where and remove them. Try and start from a bare bones machine,  maybe graphics card only if one is present.

Good tips, I may also suggest if you are still having issues, to strip it down, and start over... be sure to note where all those cables go tho...


Oh, and don't remove the CPU card..

A4000T's , especially in a Toaster/Flyer setup can act really flaky, tho, maybe it's just my 4000T...

i think you need to remove small board (shown here at the top:
http://amiga.resource.cx/photos/photo2.pl?id=a4000t&pg=5&res=hi&lang=en )
and then connect the internal cable 'directly'.
but i'm not sure..
tbh, I've never connected external SCSI to any Amiga.

btw, be sure to check the (audio) capacitors on A/V module, they've leaked on mine long ago

Orange, I am confused by that... ^ .. I dont think a4000T will work without the ports module... And I believe that termination means at the BEGINNING of the SCSI chain...

Anyway, for the 2 days that my 4000T worked, I had 2 CD-r drives on the Cyberstorm SCSI, and a 100MB Zip on the 4KT's built-in SCSI.. Had no issues.
Honestly, SCSI on a miggy isn't all that hard, usually..
YMMV, tho...

I understood that this terminator module that goes on ports module.
yes, but you need termination on both beginning and end. and there would be two chains, one internal and one external.
since most of us don't have external devices, it should have ending termination on by default.
   but perhaps termination isn't needed if there is no cable or device?

Orange, yes you are right.. I didn't phrase that very well. I only meant to remind about termination at the beginning, as some ppl. aren't aware of this... Sorry, my bad.

For terminating the end, there's a DIP switch on the back panel of the 4000T.

And I guess I am the only one still using internal AND external SCSI devices...
I tried fitting my scanner internally.... it wouldn't fit!
