Getting an A4000/030
« on: July 30, 2008, 03:10:27 PM »
Hi All!

After many years away from Amigas I am about to inherit an A4000/030 from a friend. Can any other A4000 (030 or otherwise) owners give me some advice?

I know about the furry-battery issue, is it possible to run OK with the battery removed like the older Amigas sans battery backed clock?

From what I recall the A4000 has no built-in flicker fixer - will I be able to boot and use WB "out of the box" with a VGA display? Do you all recommend a flicker fixer or trying to find a C= 1960 or NEC multiscan?

Can I just add a CD-ROM (or even DVD!) drive as a slave on the built-in IDE interface?

Any other warnings/tips/tricks for the A4000 or AGA Amigas in general (I las had an A600, and only briefly anything AGA) would be appreciated.

Cheers,
John
