Hello all,
I was home at my parents over the holidays and stumbled on my old Amiga 3000T and decided to bring it back with me. Needless to say after not being touched for 12-13 years it was in need of a good cleaning. After blowing off the dust I noticed I was missing the floppy drive, keyboard and mouse. A little searching on Ebay and I have a keyboard and mouse on the way. I am a little confused about what to do about the floppy. I can't remember much about the amiga, but I think I recall you can't boot games off an external drive. Those seem to be the only drives I can find on ebay at the moment. I don't have high hopes for this machine but would like to make it functional and boot up some old games and bring back some memories. Anyway while waiting for the keyboard and mouse I hooked up a monitor tonight and turned on the power. The HD light flashes a few times and I hear a little clicking but end up with a 2.0 Roms (37.175) screen with an animated diskette inserting into a floppy drive. I assume this means the HD isn't booting. Anyway from here I opened the case and found 3 SCSI hard drives. I disconnected them all and tried booting off each one. Two of the 3 seem to have life and click a little. One of them seems dead. The cd-rom appears to light up, but I don't have any disc's to try in it. So this is where I stand. Any advice or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Donnie
