Folks,

I'm going to put this gear on ebay, sadly its been sat there neglected for a good few years.
So my question is, whats worth the hasstle of trying to set up and testing/flogging? and whats the easiest way to prove the hardware?

Its been such a long time, and sadly my scsi HD has died, so its not a case of hooking everything up and powering on!
To top it all, I cant find the mouse! so i've been recalling in fits and spats how to use the keyboard for everything.
So, as you can imagine, no mouse, using floppies only, testing is a bit of a challenge!

The setup is:
A1200 + Micronik Z3 board
Cyberstorm PPC 604e/060 with 128MB
Ariadne II Eithernet card

The Hydra card and PicassoIV (Break off section for ZII has been broken off) where in use when I had the miggy in ZII mode prior to getting the Cyberstorm. (or hell, it would have been used in the A1500 i had...now where did that go...)

So far, I've managed to boot the miggy, so the 060 + CybervisionPPC is working...(played around with it a bit, and wollowed in some nostalgia)

Any pointers to make my life easier would be good about now, its surprising how much I've forgotten! (i'm getting some "Oh yeah, i remeber that" moments, but to be honest, I just don't have the time to spend on it!)

Andy.

Steve: Yeah I remebered the mouse shortcut, and I brought up the boot menu screen with the "esc" key...lol I've forgotten how I did that now...shesh my memory.

Im in UK, Hampshire way.

Amiga92570 : Bloody eck, that looks like just the ticket, thanks, will try it out!.

alexh : I won't sell it unless it works to be honest, It was working the last time it was used, but I'm far to honest to sell something that I'm not 100% happy with.

Thanks for the input fellas.

Andy.
