Rebuilding A4000 need advice
« on: December 12, 2007, 12:51:12 PM »
Hi i am currently rebuilding me amiga collection. I have 3 a4000's I have been trying to get the kickstart screen (one with disk animation) for some time. I am not sure what components need to be added to the board before i should see that screen. I have tried with adding zorro board and disk drive with cpu (i have tried my 030 and 060) all I seem to get is a green screen when I run one of my motherboards with the 030 cpu. Thats about all I can get out of them :(

I was wondering if I am doing it wrong. I have seen them all working well before and the batteries have been replaced. I am stuck. Was wondering if somebody could list what i need running to get the screen and what my problem might be.

Thanks

I was wondering how long the wait is until the screen appears is it like a minuite or a few seconds and is there anything else i need to do?
