Almost certainly one of the CIA has gone bad ;get thee to a repairman!

The 500/2000 you could just unplug chips but I think your 4000 has soldered ones.(I don't have a 4000 to check.)

Yep;if you want anew Amiga and can afford the SAM/4.1 pack it makes sense to get it now.There isn't any other new Amiga computer.

I still would like to see the Dragon and Shark.

I am considering a $99 efika:anyone running Amiga OS on it?
Anyone found a way to get more than 128Mag ram?

Well,I have done it!

Just placed the order for an efika for this coming winter's computer project.(ok, one of this winter's projects....)
Will be watching for video card at hamfest tomorrow,along with the odd bit of C= stuff like $1 1541 etc.

I hope MorphOS is not too pricey,suppose I should have checked that first?

Re: SAM 440 - What would owning one mean to you?

Here's looking forward to SAM, as pricey as he is.

-----------------------------------------------------------

After much time spent watching eBay where old PPC cards fetch small fortunes and no luck finding such cards elsewhere,SAM is beginning to look reasonably priced.
Even an old Blizzard 160mhz card is now up to $375 and the auction has time yet!!!!
Might as well get NEW hardware when spending big $$$.

takemehomegrandma

Your enthusiasm for the MorphOS sparked my taking another look at it,and ordering a new $99 efika.
Today the post lady brought a little white box ;inside a board and ..vas ist los?nicht verstanden!...oh,wait, flip over the instructions for English.Although I might have puzzled it out ,it was great-great grandfather who was German.

The pci to agp riser was included which I didn't expect/realize was part of the sale.

I was thinking of using a 4 gig SD card in 44-pin drive adapter, not yet sure if there is a compatible gfx card on hand.

Biggest fly in the ointment: I didn't follow the links far enough before ordering to discover the MorphOS license is as much or more than retail box Microsoft OS. :-?
