Price/Advice on A3000/A4000 (T)?
« on: July 19, 2011, 08:35:00 PM »
I am contemplating getting an A3000 or A4000 to run the BBS on.  The SAM is nice, but still has issues with doorgames :(  I have an A1200, but I don't care for it much, I always liked the big box Amiga's better.

I am leaning towards another A3000 due to the built in scandoubler, but I'm not a big fan of SCSI anymore.  What's an easy solution to add IDE to an A3000?

A4000 I always liked, but I really want to keep costs minimal and avoid having to buy anything other than a used NIC for it, so I'd need a scandoubler/flickerfixer for an A4000.  A4000 IDE is a plus, though.

What's the going rate for a base model '030 A3000/A4000 with a bit of memory expansion on it - anyone got one that needs a good home going cheap in North America?  I don't need anything fancy.

Currently running Zeus BBS on a SAM 440ep/OS 4.1u2 combo, just flushing out the last few niggling bugs before I put it back up publically.

I'm working on porting DLG BB/OS from the old 68k legacy code to PPC/OS 4.1, but it's been real slow going with my limited coding knowledge.
