4000d not booting
« on: August 31, 2006, 01:11:50 AM »
Ok, so i finally got my amiga today! this is my first amiga btw. i plug it all up and it boots fine. i run and app, it starts working (pixel3d) then it crashes (I assume) and now when I turn it on only a black screen. my 4000 has highflyer and 2 scsi with the hf, internal scsi methinks is not hooked up. any ideas?

Ok, I have taken it all apart and been trying to figure out how this machine is configured. Its a 4000D Highflyer with a video toaster card, ide scsi card, 2 scsi harddrives, one scsi cdrom that is not hooked up. the floppy drive was also not hooked up. I got it to boot finally. Now I just need to put the computer back together the way I found it!!

yeah, definally. I have a question. Does it matter which slot on the high flyer my scsi controller is seated in?

Ok, to limit the problem, would it be feasible to remove the VT card, flyer expansion and extra harddrives? Would it be able to boot?

CPU board was not seated. Thank lots for the help. I just was getting so frustrated last night. UPS dropped my box, so I was scared it did some major damage! But it didn't do anything major! :) Now off to play with my new system!

The only problem I am having now is my SCSI dataflyer card is not working. So I can't use my 2 scsi driver, nor my scsi cdrom. I am not sure why it isn't working, perhaps the scsi drives got damaged in the drop (likely seeing as how scsi's are tempremental) or if the dataflyer is in the correct port. I have tried just about all the ports. Anyways, DPaint here I come!
