Any thoughts regarding the NEW A4000 motherboards?
« on: November 12, 2023, 04:04:50 AM »
As I said here: https://forum.amiga.org/index.php?topic=76166.0 I purchased an A4000 in great condition. However, I believe in the saying, "If it ain't broke, fix it til it is." I am fascinated by the new A4000 PCBs that have been offered. It's a replica of a Rev B motherboard. Has anyone tried one of these? Good, bad, indifferent? One vendor has them completely built, NOS custom chips, new connectors (except the DB23 which is recycled). Kind of pricey, but very tempting just the same.

Yes. I have 2 of them ACILL boards which have been designed by John “Chucky” Hertel. One in a desktop and another which will be going into a tower setup soon. Great boards. Bought from Ireland and made up by the guy there.

Watch out with the silkscreening. It doesn’t have the info on them like the original commodore boards. Especially for the jumper settings. Apart from that all good…

Thanks. Chucky does excellent work. I appreciate the comments and advice.
