PSA: You should never do this when you buy an Amiga...

That basically happened to my Cyberstorm MK1.  Turned on the Amiga one day and that horrible smell of burning electronics came from it...

The A4000 still boots at least, I have an 040 -> 060 adapter and finally got it set up /working again with full RTG/networking. without it crashing!

Still miss the 128mb of fast ram though.  I had bought a Cyberstorm MK2 off of ebay, that also didn't work, so I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the A4000's CPU slot

I bought a MiST, I haven't even gotten it set up with an ST yet, to me the original hardware still seems more enjoyable somehow, though it would be awesome fore some of the game console cores.  

What would be awesome is a stanaldalone vampire with the capabilities to run all the same cores that are available for the MiST, with some of the same extensions, so if wanted a Mege Mega STe, I could.  MiST can do a 68020@25 for it, apparently.

Yeah, I think more modern motherboards / PSUs both have a feature where if they're getting weird voltage spikes, they just cut the power so they don't end up frying everything.  

Sounds like how one of my friends turned on his old PC and there was a literal pop, and when he showed me the PSU it rattled...

I told him that's what he gets for going with cheap PSUs... I've always thought of them as one of the most valuable things, so you shouldn't go cheap on them, since they have the greatest potential of toasting everything.

I wish I could get another system next to my A4000 so I could test another accelerator board in it to make sure it'll work in mine anymore.  But the A3640 seems to be working fine at the moment, and I figure I'll just wait maybe for the Vampire for the A4000...
