In the meantime I soldered a Li-Ion clock battery in, found a newer revision SCSI chip for a few euro's and got another A3000 case from a nice guy on this forum. Also, from a Dutch webshop I got a refurbished Seagate 50pin SCSI HD and put in my Ariadne2 network card.

Also found a SuperBuster-11 at Vesalia early this year...Two nights ago I started putting everything back together, and it actually works!
