I am selling my A4000/040 on eBay.co.uk. See the listing here.

The error messages are the one about intuition try to close all windows and another one about "cannot open atapi.device on unit 1". It may be that the CD-ROM drive has become unplugged, but it has been a while since I last fired it up and it did work back then. I might have another poke around inside it later on today, I do recall the CD-ROM cable becoming disconnected quite easily. :-)

Connecting the hard drive in an A4000 is quite easy, but slightly more difficult to get a CD-ROM drive to play ball, but its not too bad. I'll keep everyone updated on any developments. :-)

I had a look inside and as I thought the CD drive cables (both power and data!) had worked themselves loose. I reconnected them together, booted up.....and nothing, just a black screen. I was initially worried, but after rebooting again with both mouse buttons held down, the early start-up screen appeared (phew, I thought I had really broken it! :-)).

I will have a play around with the CD drive jumper settings, it may be something to do with that. :-)

Currently no, but if I disconnected the CD drive, I think it would boot up with the error messages (as per the screenshots, which can be seen by clicking on the link on the eBay auction). As for the floppy drive, I have no idea if it is an HD unit, but I have that drive and a seperate drive listed on eBay at the moment (a Chinon FB-357A) and i'm sure one them is an high density unit. Maybe someone else could shed light on this? :-)

Firstly, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately I can't do that because either with the CD drive connected or disconnected I cannot get into Workbench. :-(
