Clean and Very Nice!  What is it loaded with, Toaster 4K, Flyer, and TBC IV?

Happy New Year to you!


Jeff,


Thank you.  It used to have all that good stuff... I took those out so it is just a bog standard WarpEngine 040@44mhz(according to SysInfo) 16megs ram.

I always liked that HighFlyer setup and thought of buying one a few times, but could never get one for a decent price.  Kept getting out bid by other buyers.

Yours looks like it is in good condition, you need to fill it with Zorro cards and have some fun.


Dave,

Yeah doesn't look to bad set up.. I just love how the HD sounds when is spools up, kind of like a jet engine.. All in all a very clean machine and even the floppy drive works hehe.

I honestly don't have any plans on reloading this thing with Zorro cards atm.

I bet it would also make a REALLY NICE Bridgeboard machine. Some of the extra slots are ISA, correct?  You could build a retro Amiga - 386 or 486 in the same machine with a pair of Nics connected, perhaps an old Soundblaster or?  Fun Stuff!  Love to see more pics of the inside. BTW NICE on the Warp Engine, actually one of my favorite cards. Sorry I sold mine.


Jeff,

Never thought about a bridgeboard expansion.  The inside is pretty clean.  Dare I take
everything out for inspection/full cleaning?

T3000,

What a great advert.. I think it answers all questions, ha.  Looks like it might an ad from
Anit-Gravity.  At any rate that is the HighFlyer.

mmm.. CF or SSD solution for flyer set-ups would be nice.  I had this setup running for a few hours and definitely noticed the noise I didn't mind it so much.  However way back in the day I can only image using these all day week after week..year after year.. would get to me..
