Start an Amiga 4000D
« on: July 20, 2004, 06:24:07 PM »
Hello,
I am new in the amiga world.
I have receive an amiga 4000D that I try to start.
I try to start from floppy, I dont have now a hd.
I start the 4000 and wait about 20 secondes and I can see the amiga logo with a floppy and a hand image.
I tryed to start it from 4 floppy disk (amigaos3.1) but the result is always the same (logo amiga). The floppy seems to run a few second, stop, and then come the amiga logo.
It seems that I have not the install and workbench disk that's why i try starting on the others one.
Is that Normal ??
Thank you

OK, thank you, I will try to find them. ebay perhaps !!
What's the speedest accelerator card for the 4000 ?
I have receive one with the a4000, it's written Cyberstorm MK 2 with a chip 68060rc50, what is it ??(speed)
When I try to start the a4000 with it, the 4000 didn't bring me to the amiga logo screen, does it means that's a defect card ??
Thank you verymuch for all the antwort.

I live in germany.
I found a set of 3 floppy disk (pinball) and try to boot with the first disk.
It doesn't work, I am afraid thatt the floppy is out !!
I dont believe that's a amiga one because there is a sort of (interface) device in the connector and I have to plug the cable in this device. my friend that give me the computer says that it can have compatibility problèm.
Where can I find a floppy for a decent price ??
and of course I want a sytem.
Thank you

Thank you.
I foun a set amiga os3.1 on ebay (7Euro).
Now, I will look for a floppy.
But I have made a mistake or bad explain, I have a rev.b MB.
I have 2 cpu card, the original one and the MK II.
Now , I have seen that the oscillator on the MK II is missing. Before I buy a new one, I want to try if the computer works with the original CPU.
I have found the switch are :

CLK 90 Clock Source J100 1-2 Internal (020/030)
                         2-3 External (040)
CPU Clock Source J104 1-2 Internal
                      2-3 External

How should I set them up for the original cpu card ?

Thanks
