A3000D and CF solution
« on: July 27, 2009, 04:12:07 PM »
Hi all (again),

It's me and yet again I'm asking you for your Oracle like advice.  As you may have seen in the Market place - I'm about to buy Drac's A3000D.  What I want to do with it is a) get 3.1 ROM's (which I can get from Amigakit) and b) use the same or similar Compact Flash solution that I'm going to use for my A1200 (which I'm getting from AndyC).  

My knowledge of the A1200 and WB3.1 to WB3.9 is ok but my A3000 knowledge is zip, although I realise it's SCSI and not IDE.

Now, I can keep it how it is and work out a network solution that would let me use Amiga Forever to transfer my WHDLoad games over to the built in SCSI drives, but I think the CF solution might be nicer / better.

Any recommendations good people?

(PS - wife is gonna kill me!  One new A1200, One new A3000 and one new Minimig - all likely to appear at our doorstep over the next couple of weeks...  hey ho, I tend to go full blast into things ;))

Hi chain, that looks great although not sure it would work in an A3000D?

Thanks Drac - sounds like it is the best option for me.  Do you know if the machine can boot from the IDE once the Buddha is installed or does it need to boot from the SCSI and then access the IDE as a separate storage medium?

If so I was going to buy this http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=486 and also http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=883 as they have offered to preload the CF with OS3.9 :)

Nice one Tonyyeb.  Are you using your CF to boot the Amiga or just for additional storage?  Also are you using the Amigakit CF solution or just a plug in IDE to CF adapter?
