Installing a CSMKIII in a 3000D
« on: August 23, 2007, 05:32:27 PM »
I am awaiting the return of a CSMKIII from JJ in France that he repaired for me. He is very good to work with and might be a little pricy but he deffinately has the know how to repair the stuff for Amiga's.

I plan on installing this in a 3000D when I get it back.

The current system does have real 3.1 roms along with a fresh install of OS 3.1 which will be upgraded to 3.9 once I get the accel. installed.

I know I need the 060 libraries installed for the board to work but is there other modifications other than changing the jumpers on the motherboard for external clock etc. that I might have to do? The 3000D motherboard is a rev 6.1 or would it be better to use my other 3000D that is rev 7.3?

I am also aware of the int2 mod. that would have to be done to use the CSMKIII SCSI port which I probably won't do right away until I have the system running then maybe tackle the int2.

I haven't done much with the 3000D and it is a little different it seems than the 2000 and 4000 I am used to. Any advice would be helpful in getting this running or problems you might have run into. I will be getting this board back by Fri. hopefully or early next week.

Thanx in advance

@alexh

The repair for my CSMKIII was $280.00 with shipping back to me from France.


I don't think I will use the SCSI on the CS at least not yet I think the onboard SCSI will work good enough for me.
