Warpengine 4040 in a 3000D
« on: June 22, 2012, 04:25:46 AM »
Next dumb question.   How hard is it to fit a Warpengine 4040 into an A3000D?  Does it require massive case hacks?  Is it worth it or should I hold out for a 3040 that will fit?

I know about the INT2 jumper needed for the SCSI controller (I believe the Warpengine 3040 came with a push clip to grab the signal from the CIA chip (not the best solution, but easy).

So my understanding is the 4040 will fit as long as I use low profile simm's and a low profile heatsink?  Otherwise I have to cutout part of the drive sled.  Anyone know how much clearance I have for the heatsink and simm's?

Do you have a photo of how bad you have to cut the drive cage?

Will leaving the 12MB worth of ZIP's I have in the 3000 hurt performance once I get the accelerator installed?  I'm not sure how memory is mapped when an accelerator is involved.

I have one bank of static column zip's, but it's setup to run in page mode since the other two banks are page mode (Bank 0 & 1 are page, bank 2 is SC).  I'm assuming that problem only crops up if Ramsey is in static column mode.
