Benefit of DMAC04 in A3000

[alexh]

You would be mad not to get a Ramsey -07. They are very very common, and cheap as hell as they were used in A4000. Whereas the DMAC -04 is very rare and VERY VERY expensive because it was A3000+ and upgrades only there are considerably less of them than there are A3000's. WTF did you find yours?

Benefits are stability with accelerators. If you have no turbocard you probably wont see any difference.

Do you have a -04 PROTO SCSI chip or the latest version (-08?) A proto SCSI chip could explain the SCSI errors with the DMAC -04 / Ramsey -07 combo.

If you decide you want to sell your DMAC -04 there are lots of people who would pay silly money for one. It could easily fund a major A3000 upgrade.

Tempting to sell my DMAC 04 as it is sitting in a stock A3000 040

Erm do you mean 030?

Oh, ok. I thought that one of the features of the DMAC -04 / Ramsey -07 combination was improved A3640 compatibility?
