Hi! Olá!
« on: March 15, 2004, 05:45:21 PM »
Hi,

My name is Paulo, I'm 28 and I'm Portuguese.

I was offered an Amiga500 14 years ago, and I loved it... then along came the Pc and the Amiga was tossed into a drawer. Recently I bought an Amiga4000/030 at eBay, but I have no idea how to operate it, since the manuals are in German... :madashell:

I saw there are new Amigas?? on the market using Macintosh G4 processors; do this computers run the older Amiga software?

What are the PPc processors for the old Amigas, do they allow running Pc based programs?

Can anyone help me setting up my Amiga4000? :-?

Sorry for my inquiry...

Hi

Thank you all for your warmth welcome. :-D

Here are the specs for my A4000/030

- primary hd: Seagate 130.6 Mb (IDE??);
- secondary hd: IBM 1080 Mb, on a GOLEM FastSCSI-II/IDE Controller;
- graphic card: Cybervision 64;
- RAM: 20 Mb;
- Sony CD drive;

What I would like to know is:  :-?

- can I use any IDE hd (PC compatible) to replace the original? what is that strange thing it is attached to? (it seems like another hd);
- can I use an HP SCSI Cdrw drive? will I be able to burn cd's?
- I would like to format the disks and install everything again, will I need to take all the expansion cards, or the installation is plug n´play similar?
- I recently bid at eBay for a PPcCyberstorm, it was 200/50 Mhz, but the seller said it was running at 230/50 Mhz, is it that easy to overclock this boards?
- which one is better the Amiga Warp Engine 4040 (68040 @ 40Mhz)Accelerator w/SCSI-2 or the PPc?

My Amiga is a desktop, can I change everything to a tower configuration?

Thanks, and forgive my ignorance :getmad:
