Amy has landed
« on: February 20, 2007, 09:51:37 PM »
Well my Amy has finally arrived - and she is gooood.  Looks like the Madrid postal service held it for ages and tried to play footie with her tho :( (thanks bro for packing it so well - take more than a footie session to bring an amiga down) - popped the cpu board back in and she fires up....

its a 50MHz blizzard standard cpu 68030 (no extra ram sockets tho its one of the straight replacements for the A3630...

There appears to be a VLab revision 1.0 in there also - mmmmm

She is fully popped with 16mb fast ram and a Wester Digital 1Gb hdd n DVD Rom drive ( will mess with a spare DVD-CDRW later)

One thing - I haven't the time to shut down my PC so i am running on a TV (for now) - how can I change the screen mode from VGA style to std freq's without hooking up to a monitor?  any suggestions?

>>> a very pleased bunny indeed  :lotsacoffee:

sorry - yes she is a A4000 rev.B and appears to have OS3.9 on the hdd (have full set of 3.1 WB disks and can boot and access HDD partitions with no problems)

Thanks

oh and the bloomin wb disk appears not to have a screenmode.prefs (am gonna nose on the other disks - this floods back memories and the shell is my fried again already :) )

if i cant find a screenmode.prefs - will deleting it cause any harm (tis already backed up in the system:/rachel folder ;() )

Am running off a WB3.1 fdd for now 0 edit - deleting the screenmode.prefs seems not to matter(is there a backup already that the OS can use?) - its OS3.9 me thinks btw if thats any different
