Wanted: A3630 or A3640 CPU card
« on: January 07, 2013, 03:41:24 PM »
It occurred to me that anyone looking to unload a 3640 might not read my last topic which only included A3630 in the subject, so I'm reposting.

I need a known-good CPU card for testing a busted A4000. I have a Warp Engine 040 but I have absolutely no idea if it works. I'd like to have a spare to test the system with. This can be either the '030 or '040 flavor CPU boards that shipped with the A4000s, so long as I can count on them being good. Does anyone have a spare?

Did Amiga Technologies change anything with the card vs the older Commodore ones? Are they typically interchangeable with the older mobos? I'll keep it in mind if I get tempted. ;)

@Mr Vanos

You need to change ur profile and say what country u r in.

It makes a big difference when conducting business. :)

Thanx :)

I have 2 A3640 cards laying around in a box for over 10 years.   I have no way of testing them to know if they work or not.  The guy I bought them from swore that they worked.  But it turns out making them work in an A3000 is just waaaay to complicated for me so I gave up on that project and never used them and never tried to use them.

AFA I ever heard: any A3640 or A3630 card works in any A4000D.

Its only when trying to bodge them into an old A3000 that there are complications.


Yes, I guess that would help. I'm in Alabama.

Cool I think I have been there before... it sounds familiar.  My dad used to work there sometimes I think... There must be a NASA facility nearby


There is... Marshall Space Flight Center is about 3 miles away from my office.
