Amiga 4000 revD?
« on: May 05, 2015, 01:50:28 AM »
so I managed to get my hands on a virtually new A4000d with a revision D motherboard (with coin cell battery).
It was sitting in storage for years and the case is still white, no yellowing at all.
My question is other than the battery being a coin and the chip ram soldered directly to the motherboard are there any other differences?

Yes, I did read that and it answered some of my questions. And yes the one I have is the CR version. I'm assuming I can still place a 3640 in it?

Thanks everyone. Commodore really could not make up there minds, there seems to be many revisions of the board even within the same series LOL I also found out it has the 3640 installed already.
Looking forward to getting everything going :)

So, got the A4000 and took a couple pictures. Any thoughts?

A4000 case

Inside, revD motherboard
I removed the A3640 for a better view.

It was mentioned that some revD motherboards shipped without the 50mhz oscillator, where is it located and can someone see on the above photo if it's there?

So, how does that effect the use of this if I put the A3640 in? Will it run normally as a video toaster system?

Ok, but I have the a3640 so all is good right? Not having the oscillator won't make a difference if I have the 3640 installed

Just curious, is there issues with the a3640 version 3.1 as that is what it came with? I know some had issues with caps or something being installed backwards?

After that, if you intend to stick with the A3640 (and not mortgage your house to be able to afford a PPC board), do something fun like throw a Quaddoubler on there.  :)


That looks interesting!

No problem there as I already have everything. True it's obsolete but it's fun to play with and Lightwave projects can be exported between the Amiga and my PC.
