How can an A3000 be upgraded to use AGA?
« on: July 03, 2006, 05:13:51 PM »
Do I just get a video card or is there a drop in solution?

the A3000 can't be upgraded to AGA on any way
you can get a gfx card instead I recommend a picasso 4
and maybe you can upgrade that 030 to a 030/50mhz but not sure...anyways the best solution is 060 turboboard

Buy a CyberVision64 (but not the "3D" model).

It is very fast, it's Zorro3-pure, includes a monitor switcher as standard, includes a jumper to choose Buster11 or previous versions and is very nice :-)

doctorq -> I might have got it wrong then. Something about an A4000 with an 040 25 MHz, and the motherboard was messed up but you forgot to tell the buyer.

EDIT: 3.34PM (14.34) It was something I heard long time ago. It is none of my business, I am not going to buy anything from you anyways. Sorry

Yes, you have gotten something messed up. I sold him a system, with the battery removed and damaged clock circuit. I made him aware of that at least a couple of times already before he bought the setup.

Why make judgment on "something" you have heard, and put me in a bad light without no reason and no personal experience? And focusing on one persons unjustified attack and forget about the positive feedback in the exact same thread? I have never forced anyone to buy anything from me, and never will.

Don't be sorry that you don't buy anything from me, you won't be missed.

That seems weird.

Seriously, I doubt you have lost any potential customer. With almost 1,300 written messages on the forum, you are well known. I am sorry that I wrote, it was not meant as an attack. If you feel that I have done you any wrong I apologize. It started out as a joke.

So, you are saying you do sell junk Amiga equipment. Do I smell Retrogeek, *lol*

After being burned to many times I have completely stopped buying used hardware.

@mrbill
You should be aware that upgrading to a gfx card like CyberGraphics or Picasso will not allow you to run AGA software. There is no way to do that on an A3000. The only Amigas which will run AGA software are the A1200, the A4000 and the CD32.

Your guess is as good as mine. He bought the setup where the motherboard was fixed at Amiga Repair Center in France (except the clock circuit problem was not fixed). After he busted the first mortherboard in an attept to replace a chip, he bought a replacement motherboard with the same error. Both had the clock circuit problem, and he was aware of it, and was made aware of it before purchasing. A year after he bought the setup, he posted a personal attack on a public danish Amiga forum. My best guess as to why he did it was because he was upset that he couldn't buy a CSMK3 and a CV64/3D for around 100 USD from me.

You can never know. You have heard "something" that happend on a public danish forum, so by that you judge me, based on one person badmouthing me. In the same thread there are at least 5 other people giving me positive feedback, but these things is something you haven't heard of. The same thing will happend now; the 1 negative thread available, ruin at least 10 positive. People focus on the negative and not on the positive. In the end it's a pretty bad joke if you ask me.

No, I say that because I'm not interested in dealing with people that already have a negative attitude towards me. Sorry for you being burned when buying used hardware, it happens for everyone, my self included.

So, you just sell your busted hardware to someone else.

Last year, I paid good money for a motherboard, that was supposed to work. Similar listed like yours
Quote
'as working, no further testing has been made' (from your web page)
 and when the board arrived, it looked like someone had spilled a coke on it. It did not work, no refund. I still have the board.

"Can't we just all get along" and not sell busted hardware to each other?
