Installing a A3640 into a A3000T
« on: May 24, 2003, 02:47:11 AM »
I just bought a 3640 to put into my A3000T (Genuine not a desktop put into a case)

When I have the 3640 plugged in I just get a grey screen. When I bought the 3000T years ago, I remember the bloke I got it off saying it used to have one in there but he sold it seperately.

A quick look at some of the numbers on chips such as the Ramsey and DMAC it would appear they could be a little newer though. Is there any programmes out there that can tell you for sure what version chips you have though ?

I would definately like to get this 040 going for some extra speed over the old 030

Sorry if my original post didn't make to much sense but I was pretty tired when I submitted it (I had just finished work).

Since I don't have the manual for the 3000T or for the 3640 I decided to do a search via google for jumper settings, the only jumper I saw that seemed to be of any use was the clock source, J104 I think it was, which I did try changing without any noticable change.

Does anyone know what jumpers need to be changed to what settings ? Is there a nice diagram anywhere of the 3000T motherboard which shows the positions of all the jumpers as well. It's a big motherboard :)

@D
Thanks for the name of a programme I can try, when I get home (yes I am at work again, you have to love 12 hour shifts) I will give it a go.

Just had a look at the site;

J100: CLK90 Clock Source
          1-2 Closed: Internal (68020/68030)
          2-3 Closed: External (68040)

I remmeber seeing a J100 on the motherboard very close to the J104. I will definately have to give this a go. Thanks :)

Funny you should mention the www.l8r.net site since that's where I managed to get the informationthat I needed :)

The only jumpper I needed to change which I wasn't was the one to turn the FPU on the mainboard off and it works fine.

Infact I am using the machine as I type :)

Whilst web browsing is still slower than on my PC it's defintely usuable now whereas before it was quite painful.

Thanks to everyone who replied with helpful suggestions!
