First of all when it starts up I get a message saying driver 3.2 "I can't find 4xEIDE Buffered Interface"


That interface was an add-on to give you 4 ide ports.  With that message there may at one time have been that add-n in the machine, may not be there now.  It's close to 100% sure that the hard drive in the machine is ide.  someone in one of the other threads was saying they have OS 3.9 for sale, but you need a 3.1 kickstart for any OS 3.1, 3.5 or 3.9 to work.  Try Amikit for the kickstart rom.  you can get ethernet cards for the pcmcia port and there are various add-ons for the clockport.  Any expansion card would be good, some are just ram, others have faster processors.  You didn't say where you are located, I presume The UK, as it's a PAL machine.  You don't say what kind of monitor, I assume you are using a SCART cable, but VGA adapters are available, but most VGA monitors don't sync that slow.

Yeah SCART is totally non-existant in North America, damn shame really.  Although now component video and HDMI connections are common on the new widescreen sets.   Hmm, wonder if you could make an Amiga component video cable easily...anyone? :-?
