I just received the ZorRam128
« on: June 23, 2010, 11:20:54 PM »
I'm installing that, a Deneb, PicassoII, and new HD in an A3000 this week.

The USB pigtails to the back of the case appear to be too short!

Since you posted this in the hardware news section, we expect a review :D

I thought the forums section looked funny, must have been a senior moment.

The ZorRAM went right in.  The only chance for a screw up is installing it upside down, which will probably let the smoke out.

ShowConfig lists 8 Megs of Zip ram, 128 Megs of ZorRAM, 2 Megs of Chip.  Oddly, Workbench reports 140 Megs of other memory.

I haven't installed much yet.  Distant Suns and Final Writer looked great with the Picasso II.  I opted for the 128 Meg version to save money.  For most Amiga apps, 128 megs is like sailing the open ocean.

I decided not to install the Deneb at this time.  It seems to be missing the connectors (solder pads are there) for the
USB pigtails (they would be long enough if the connectors were present)

What kind of hard drive to you get ? How big, how old/new ? Still using on-board SCSI?


I'm using the A3000's on-board SCSI.  I have a handful of used drives that range in size from small to 4 Gigs.

At some point I want to include electronic drives (like CF) in my SCSI equipped systems.
