An older geek returned (after some considerable lurking)

Hello again Icepyk,

The Cyberstorm PPC is an accelerator card that plugs into the CPU slot on the A3000 motherboard.  It also has either an '040 or '060 to run the pre-os4 versions of AmigaOS.  Hopefully, OS 4 will make it unnecessary to use the '040 or '060 part of the accelerator card as context switching is slow.

Welcome to Amiga.org!

Good luck to you, reviving ancient platforms and boldly going where everybody else has gone before. You can take that old classic amiga and c64 and toss 'em in the trash. ACK Controls is going to release a brand new amiga model here in a few weeks.

I never understood lurkers, how can you lurk for so long and never chime in?  Just curious not trying to be mean.  I always love to chime in.  :banana:

The A3000 is an awesome Amiga!  It has that great VGA port built in which is nice.  Has a really sleek case I think, and can be upgraded to a 040/060 with lots of RAM.  Just make sure the battery has been removed/replaced!  See my picture album on what happened to mine...

G'day from another Aussie :pint:

Welcome to the Forum Icepyk!

I am impressed that you had an A1000 in 1986 - this was still way beyond my means at the time and I had to be satisfied with my C64 and 1541 disk drive (which I have still got:-)).

I hope you enjoy your return to Amiga!

All the best
