Thought it would be good to split it, up it started out as bits from about 4 machines so i had no problem spliting it up again .

I have heard of the seller before myself just can not remember where from though . :lol:

Wow that is a trip.  Well splitting up basic parts is not very wise, unless you have a 060 or PPC or Cybervision.  Listing a crappy CD-ROM, old HD etc is not going to fetch anything.  Maybe it would be better to list the whole A4000 in this case?

Does anybody know if I can use that HD floppy drive on my A4000T? Is it a case of just plugging it in?

Mechanically it will work, however it's a full size drive so fitting it somewhere nicely would not be as easy as simply removing the old original slimline floppy drive and sticking a new one in.

What you need is a 3.5 to 5.25" drive bay that supports full size drives. I've yet to see one like that. :-(

Cd rom drive has one bid thats all it needs to sell remember some drives are to long to fit in the a4000 case.

The hard drive is old but it is in full working order and will include a full boxed version of os3.5 it has 3 people watching .

This machine had an 060 cyberstorm with 80mb and scusi board it sold in the first few hours with buy it for £160 so i have made a reasonable amount allready besides there are people out there who want some cheap no longer available spares, no one will buy a whole machine if they just want a floppy drive or the keyboard.  

at the moment i have 70 pound for the bits the whole machine might not have made that taking ito account the slight motherbord fault and broken memory slots.

IMHO splitting isn't a bad idea at all, it just seems a bit of a hassle packing all the bits in individual boxes to (lazy) me :-).
