Well yeah it is all good.....you see yes I could heavy mod my A1200, and yes I could put the A1200 in a tower, but by the time I have done that I just aswell get an A4000 and work on that. My A1200 needs a CD-Rom Drive, and if I go PCMCIA SCSI, then I can't use that at the same time as a network card......A4000 seems the way to go......and by the way what type of RAM do they use and how easy it is to get hold of cards for the Zorro's? Never got this far before......

This one looks nice.

I've been watching this all week. I think it will go for around £400 which is out of my price range at the moment - but yes it does look nice, and only a couple hours away so I can pick it up........the other one on ebay doesn't look so nice, and no CDR etc.......hmmmmm......like my kids I'm shouting....I want it.....I want it.....pleeaaaaasssseeee!!!!

So the Cyberstorm replaces the A4000 CPU card? It comes with a CD-ROM Drive, what are the chances of SCSI? And before turning it on check the motherboard and remove the battery and plan for a replacement?
I've asked the question if the original CPU card still comes with it, just need to arrange collection now ;) I hope the seller agrees to Saturday morning or I can't pick it up for another two weeks!

No SCSI - Original CPU, No sign of corrosion
