@X-ray:
Are you running the 060 AND the bus at 64 MHz, or have you used an extra 64MHz oscillator for the 060 only? Is it stable? I kinda want to do a single-oscillator hack (run everything off a single 64 MHz oscillator, including the PPC. rumor has it that this is somewhat faster in some aspects than having unsyncronized PPC/060/System clocks).

But rumor also has it that the CS-PPC system bus (SCSI, 'glue-logic' and so on) might become unstable at speeds above 60 MHz, that's why I'm asking.

Anyways, here's my miggy:http://www.amiga.org/gallery/index.php?u=771

AT A4000T, CS-PPC-200/060-60, 128MB Fast, 18 GB UW-SCSI HD, 16x10x40 Yamaha SCSI CD-RW, CV-PPC, Kickflash, Delfina Plus, Ariadne2, OS3.9BB2, MOS 1.4.5
The harddrive and the CV-PPC were bought new, all the other stuff was bought used.

Just received an A4000D today, and after some serious cooling mods I'll move the stuff over to it and sell the A4000T. :-? And perhaps buy a G-rex.

btw Nenad: Has that keyboard ever been used? It looks brand new  :-)

What??? Sell an A4000T for a desktop 4000??? I'd keep the 4000T.



C= A4000T: Big, bulky, but still rather nice looking. Impossible to find.

AT A4000T: Big&ugly.

C= A4000D: Small, not ugly, but not beautiful either.

I haven't quite decided what to do with the CD-RW drive, maybe I'll throw it out and stick it in a external SCSI case. Or maybe stick a slim-line drive in there. Time will tell.

The most beautiful Amiga IMHO, is the A3000D. But this case is 'ugly on the inside', the lack of space is awful, especially for a CS-PPC+CV-PPC combo.

Regarding the heat, I must say that I'm surprised to see that you haven't modified the PSU. That'll be the first thing I do with mine; cut away the original fan grill and install a mesh one, maybe even a 92mm fan if there's room, and cut away the air outlet vents on the back of the PSU and replace them with mesh. Less noise and less heat = happy amiga owner.

Edit:
Oh and btw: regarding an Amiga-compatible round floppy cable, just buy a PC cable and 'untwist' pins 10-16, making it a straight-through cable working with your Amiga. Or, just make a round cable yourself with colored heatshrink-tubing.

@Oli_hd

You've got my vote!

Edit: Didn't the CDTV-CR support an internal floppy drive?
