Amiga 3000 or Amiga 4000
« on: April 11, 2005, 09:44:30 PM »
Yeah, that's the question?!  :-D
What should I choose between?
An Amiga 3000 with it's built-in scandoubler or an Amiga 4000 with its AGA-chipset?

The A4000 has known problems with the simm-sockets and battery-leak, but can use a Mediatorboard in it's desktop-case.
The A3000 must be in a tower-case to use a Mediator..
Both machines has it's own positive and negative things..

Can I use all the accelerators from the A4000 or is this INT-2 modification neccessary? And what is this modification?

Kind regards
//Peter

Well, I already have a A1200-desktop and a A500T with Blizzard 2040, so one more computer is enough  :-D

I have looked at some pictures of the desktopmodels of the A3000 and the A4000, and the A3000 seems more nicer  :-)
I'm not interested in putting the A3000 in a tower.

Well, just putting a 060 like the Cyberstorm and maybe the Cybervision 64/3D is more than enough for me I think.
Maybe I should go for the A3000 ?

Shouldn't it be possible to turn off the scsi on the acceleratorcards and only use the built-in on the A3000?

I already had a Pegasos. It's a fast system, but I didn't like it. For me the differences wasn't too much from a upgraded A1200 except the PPC. I can do almost the same with the A1200 as I could with the Pegasos. But I could do one more thing with my Amiga Classic...play all good old games without any emulation or actually without have to do anything!
Neither the Pegasos or the AmigaOne is a Amiga for me, since both systems lacks the chips that are found in the Classics I think the Classic is a better choice. Although the Classic is much more expensive to upgrade than the new Pegasos or AmigaOne. But it's kind of fun to keep upgrade the Amiga with rare items.
As it is for now I have a Amiga500+/T with a Blizzard 2040 in a Micronik zorro-busboard and a A1200-tower with Micronik zorro-busboard which also gives me a A3k/A4k-cpuslot. Maybe I should stick with the A1200T instead?
