Goodness, A4000 couldn't help myself

Dya think the riser is the wrong part X-ray? I have the same mouse on my A1200 at the moment, only the one I have is white, I often wondered if the middle button could be made to work. Apparently the battery has leaked a little bit but because it's mounted on the side in a tower it hasn't affected the PCB, anyway I'm going to Bristol to collect to I can see it in the flesh  :-D

Yeah I'd like an accelerator too, after christmas though and for the right price, Cyberstorm mk3 060 would be great! and perhaps a prometheus with ethernet and a voodoo3 would work for the RTG and internet, for £120 buy it now I couldn't leave it, seeing as I needed something to buy myself for christmas  :-D  I've been told the Octagon SCSI controller is rather basic, what speeds can I expect from it?

Robert

Edit: DocotrQ, the seller has said the battery has leaked a little, but not onto the PCB as it's in a tower and presumeably just went to the bottom of the tower, but anyway that's why I'm driving 350 ish miles to see it  :-)

Cheers for the advice Patrik, I have a question about memory actually, what kind of memory do the motherboard slots take? I have a load of old type ram around from old 386 systems, maybe this will work?

I thought the A4000 motherboard took Zips or something, or am I thinking of The A3000?  :-?

What I'd really like is CyberSCSI  :-D  But alas it'll have to wait until after christmas I think, however I've never had a cd-rom on an amiga before so it'll be an experience, worth upgrading to 3.9 dya think?

X-Ray, yeah I knew about the cyberstorm thing, I just wrote cyberscsi because it was shorter than saying the scsi on a cyberstorm, anyway, unfortunately I don't have more money than sense  :lol: but what I'd really like is a Cyberstorm Mark III 060 or a Cyberstorm PPC, I've seen the PPC for sale on a website for reasonable prices, what is a good price for a CSIII 060, or a CSPPC?

I have seen that computercity in Rotterdam have a Cyberstorm PPC 060 50mhz with 233mhz 604e for 456 Euro, so thats... £320, not bad I guess, I'd pay £320 for it, just not yet lol, maybe buy an A3640, sort out rtg and bits and bobs, get it so I can use it as an everyday machine, MAS player for mp3s... then a shiny expensive accelerator later  :-D
