HighFlyer

I always liked that HighFlyer setup and thought of buying one a few times, but could never get one for a decent price.  Kept getting out bid by other buyers.

Yours looks like it is in good condition, you need to fill it with Zorro cards and have some fun.

I own one of these too. It is an ongoing project. They were specifially designed for Toaster Flyer setups and the isa slots are power and ground only so TBCs and Vectorscopes could be used. They won't work with a bridgeboard.  At the moment, I have my Toaster 4000 in it along with a Kitchen Sync, Ycp-100 and the Picasso II and Fastlane z3 I had in my A4000 before I got the highflyer case. I would like to eventually get a Flyer Card and have a full toaster flyer setup. With some of the 2.5" scsi drives available these days, I even think it's possible to run it on a stock 150W A4000 power supply. Mine came with a corroded and nonfuntioning power supply which I gutted and put the A4000 internal drive bay in. Without a Flyer and a 2.5" ide drive I'm going to replace with a CF card , I'm using around 90 watts so I've got around 60 watts left for a Flyer and 3 2.5" scsi drives--another 5-10 watts maybe when I get the CF card in.

http://amiga.resource.cx/exp/highflyer has a good description but only has photos of the extender card

I have an extra Flyer card if you want to buy one for your system.  Contact me via email at earthlink.net and we can discuss price and shipping.

I would also like more info about using 2.5" SCSI drives with a Flyer system.  I didn't know that these drives were still available, so will go do some searching.  I know DiscreetFX also offered some kind of SSD's for use with Flyer systems that I might look into.  The old SCSI drives are just so noisy and produce too much extra heat.  I have a box of 18gb to 73gb SCSI-2, or SCSI-3 drives here, but I am now thinking of other alternatives to use with my Flyer setup.
