Buying an A4000T? Things to look for.

[odin]

I was wondering, do your colleagues find you odd in the slightest way for hauling a kingsize mobo to the hospital just to take some x-ray photos of it? ;-)

[amesie2]

X-Ray thanx for the pix and info. this helps me more with my 4000t as I didn't rec. manuals and WB3.1 with it.

I figured hey it's not a big deal if I didn't get 3.1 because I already had it for a 2000, then I find there is a difference between 4000t's and regular Amigas.

I have been scouring Ebay trying to find the correct disks for my tower and haven't had any luck.

Would you be kind enough to make images of your Install, Workbench, and Extras? I would be forever greatful.

I've X-rayed and scanned all sorts of things, from archaeological relics to neanderthal fossils to weapons components to corpses (forensic reasons).

So mobos are a piece of cake old bean.

What revision is your disk module? Do you have a floppy converter PCB and 880k drive?

I'll have to have a look; what do you want it to be?
I don't have a Floppy Converter PCB and have a high density FZ357A drive; but then again, the machine came without a floppy drive. I just yanked this one out of a 4000...

@ Erol and Tahoe

Any word on the disk module revision numbers?

X-ray, thanks for the good work and great service to the rest of us who are interested in these old machines. This thread is a service to anyone wanting or owning an A4000T.

@ rkauer and mbrantley

You are most welcome.

Can X-Rays be taken in full motion like in True Lies? I would have thought the radiation exposure from a continous stream would be deadly...

Can exposure to X-Rays damage or alter materials other than photographic film?

Megacoool pics! Whoa!  :crazy:  :-o

[philipj]

Yes I am also a grateful err.. Person, for these pictures.

Even though it is a slightly depressing thought that I'll prolly never actually own a complete setup looking quite as good as this one myself, I thank you anyway X-Ray for your hard work - it's certainly good for reference, making sure your systems in its entirety and the like!

Ja, you can get full motion X-ray video. It's called fluoroscopy, or screening. They use that for investigations of the heart, blood vessels and gastro-intestinal tract. We even have mobile units that you can take from one operating theatre to another (these are usually used during the operation so that the surgeon can see where he is drilling for example). Those units have onboard CD or DVD drives and they can save a study as an MPG or a DICOM video file.
Of course we don't X-ray the whole dude like they did in True Lies, we just X-ray one part, and we keep the screening times as low as possible.
You can't hurt household electronics with medical X-ray units. I once did an experiment with an Amiga floppy disk where I left the disk in a screening tray for about a minute and zapped the hell out of it...but it still worked, no errors on any of the files on the disk.

Bumped because some changes were made, and because Erol and Tahoe still haven't got back to me about their disk module revision numbers  ;-)

Maybe that's cos they are un-grateful fukkas!  :-D
