I received my Amiga 4000T and I am facing a problem with it...

[AmigaClassicRule]

The guy who have given me the Amiga 4000T have the following specs:

1) Big-big tower case, it have the A4000T Video Toaster on the front end of the case.
2) It have build in CD-ROM player, a disk drive.
3) Six internal hard drives
4) A Video 4000 toaster
5) Two POWERFUL sound cards placed in the zorro slot
7) It have 2 MB Chip RAM and 128 MB Fast RAm
68040 processor


When I turn the Amiga 4000T on it boots and the hard drive make this weird wrong ticking noises, it prompt right away Kickstart 3.0 ROM. The CD ROM LED light activity is constantly ON it is not stopping in motion...it just constantly turned ON.

But when I reboot the system again...it is black screen and nothing else shows.

When I press both the right and left mouse button at startup and look at what the devices it sees, it only shows the disk drive.

When I look at the expansion side of it it only shows one working expansion...even though there zorro cards, one is video toaster and the other for sound card and editing and stuff.

So I do not know what to say or do about this? What recommendation do you suggest in terms of filtering out the problem for the Amiga 4000T.

I kinda want this Amiga over the other Amigas I have in my house. Thanks in advance.

I talked to the guy who gave me the Amiga 4000T for free and he said that the scsi hard drive, the big huge one is normally for it to make ticking noises....still I need your input on this. Thanks in advance.

Actually I am deciding to sell it. The Amiga 1200D that I have is way superior than the Amiga 4000! First it have a PCMCIA slot allows me to actually go wireless on the internet easy peezy, with the desktop Amiga 1200 I have way more upgrades than the A4000. It have build in IDE port allows me to use modern 2.5" laptop hard drive. It is just better, it is smaller and I love it. So I am going to sell the Amiga 4000, the video toaster and all the cards, I am going to sell the other Amiga systems, everything, the Amiga CD 32 that he gave me and leave the Amiga 1200D.

In the Amiga 1200D he gave me it have installed a SCSI port, down o nthe ground I have a big case with scsi cable to install cd-rom and hard drive easy. Oh yeah, the big case that have scsi cable it also have a powerful ATX powers supply like hte on AmigaKit is selling so I do not need any other power supply or two power supply or anything. I just turn it on and both the Amiga 1200, the hard drive, CD-ROM everything turns on at the same time. It is a great system setup.  Oh the Amiga 1200D is also have a 128 MB RAM like the A4000, I think it have 68040 card.

So yeah...sticking with the amiga 1200D. You guys have fun with the a4000

I am selling the A4000T separately from the video toaster and other cards of course.  I need to make a little more money But there will be lots and lots and lots of pictures and everything so do not worry.

I will post links for purchase. Oh yeah, ones I make sure the Amiga 1200 works 100% I am also selling my Amiga 500 with 8 MB of RAM and external GVP hard drive with 100 MB and it's power supply and the Amiga 500 power supply . So you guys could fun all the way.

I just realized that the Amiga 1200 is truly the most superior Amiga classical models in the world. I was a moron to have sold my first Amiga 1200 but I am glad I got it back...though the case it needs a little bit of cleaning. But I am glad I got another chance to own ones again. This time I will never let go it of it again ever!!!

I have a little problem with my Amiga 1200D. I need someone to help me with this. In the Amiga 1200D that I got it have a SCSI expansion card installed into it...when I hook the external SCSI hard drive box with the CD-ROM the Amiga 1200 does not detect it all. No matter what I do it does not detect the CD-ROM or the HD from the SCSI cable. Another problem I am facing, it does not have a HD installed into it..but it takes like a complete minute before the kickstart screen appears, and the floppy disk does not work. However, ones the kickstart 3.1 screen appears and I place the floppy disk it takes 20 seconds after inserting the floppy disk for the Amiga 1200 to read the disk. However, when I soft reboot the system it goes into black screen and wait another one complete minute before the kickstart screen appears...but the disk drive no longer read the floppy disk even earlier it read it before. I do not know what to do. I want TO SOOO BADLY WHEN I USE the SCSI cable the SCSI CD-ROM works. Both the CD-ROM and HD are placed inside a PC case with a power supply and a long SCSI cable hooked into the back of the A1200 SCSI port.

but when I place a copy of Amiga OS 3.5 into the CD ROm my Amiga 1200 does not see it nor the HD either....I am torn!! I reaaally want badly to get my A1200 working. Thanks in advance!!

its normal having to wait for a minute if there is no hdd. you need to check scsi id and termination. connecting external scsi devices might be complicated. did it come with them? because (iirc) for them to work, you might need to disable the builtin external scsi terminator. better do that later. you should probably check the cables again, esp floppy.
btw, during those 20sec is there floppy drive activity?

 
I got the floppy disk work, I opened it and replaced the cable and it works. The SCSI port is an add-on. It is a tiny little port hooked into the expansion card by attaching the tiny little port into the card's board and by screwing them together. How do I disable the builtin external scsi terminator? It doesnot have any switches or anything like that. How do I disable the terminator all together? Thanks in advance.
 
By the way the scsi port of the amiga 1200D is a tiny little board enough to fit in that space at the end of the SCSI port board are two holes when I attacht the scsi board into the expansion card then I screw them together that is how it works.

At first I sold the A4000T to this guy on eBay and now he is screwing me over and he wants the video toaster instead. Arrgh!! it is a big lose. So I cancelled the posting for the video toaster waiting patiently for him to confirm it. But he does not want the Amiga 4000T anymore, if you guys are interested in the Amiga 4000T I will be more than happy to sell it to you guys.

Personally I just want the A1200D to work correctly it have a 68030 on it with 16 MB of RAM (sweet). I am waiting for my next cheque to arrive to pay the 2.5" HD I bought then I am going to have fun with her....I LOVE YOU AMIGA 1200D (sings)!! The disk drive is too old so it dies and return back working and then dies. It does not matter I have two external disk drives and they work just fine booting OSs and games.

So please guys buy this computer off my hand!!
