Amiga again?!? Never stopped...
« on: September 12, 2008, 08:51:59 AM »
Hi everybody!
I opened my cases and started to clean the dust of my Amigas. I know... I left 'em alone for too much time... Sorry, babes.. Life doesn't respect humans and make them act in strange ways... Well, now I'm here.. for you!  ;-)
Ok, after this intro, let me say hallo to everyone. I'll disturb you with tons of questions 'cos I have to recover the lost time.
See you soon!
 :-)

Thanks Darksun!

cv643d: mmmh.. I noticed some acid near the A4000 battery... It was there since I bought, but I saw later. The problem is A4000 had the psu out of work: I'll replace it to test if it's working. A3000 boot up (with no floppyes: I disassembled to remove dust): I remember I had a troubles with fast ram and I send it to repair: now, after boot up, dispalys 0 fast!!!!  :-?
CV 64 3D works fine, one of the two hd seems to be gone..
I found a MK II 060 with 128 M onboard... Slurp! My A3000D is thanking me for the next upgrade! I opened a big case and I found again all my games and progs.... near 2000  :-o floppyes (..or more?!?). Ther's so much here.. I need a place only for Amiga!! :lol:
I think this will be a long autumn... :-)

@ darksun:

I checked zip chips and they seem to be properly fixed... I'll check them again, to be sure of it.
A question: where could I buy an A4000 psu? I made a quick search on internet (due to the lack of time..ehm) but I didn't find anything. Unless I have to use a common psu and modify the power connector on the motherboard.. :-?
I post two photos of A4000 mobo, near the battery.... I hope acid didn't make too many damage. I repeat: when I bought A4000 (second hand) it worked fine although the acid traces.. Let's see..
A4000-01
A4000-02

By the way... Yes, it will be a funny autumn!!!

Remember..?

@ Firedawg:

Thanks for info!! I'm going to order the adapter for A4000 and a floppy cable for the A3000.

@klx300r:

Thanks!! I'll try not to go away again from my Amigas. Indeed I have to recover lost time...  :-)

P.s: I found an internal GVP SCSI card and a PC card for A2000/4000 (even A3000, I presume). I have a lot of work to do here.. My room is full... I only have a little space to walk and on the bed there's a plenty of hardware..  :lol:

Hi star!

I'm near Rome, a little town called Arsoli. I've been living here since 2002. Before I was  in the capital, Rome. And you?
