[color=ff0000]YAY IT BOOTED![/color][/b]

Now ofcourse it SFS file system {bleep}es about something being wrong with "DH6:" on "BakBench".

So I guess the UltraWide SCSI drive (68 pins) is okay, and it's the FastSCSI drive (50 pins) which is botched.

The way it's set up is so that:
[uw scsi]<-->[CS STORM]<--->[FastSCSI HD]<---->[CDROM]

TODO:
1) Get One nice working SCSI HD
2) Buy some seriously shorter SCSI cables (there is almost 2 meters of scsi cables inside the poor litle box! :)
3)Find someone who will sell or build me a NoIDE hack
Get a BUI Transiver for my network card, or buy a new from AmiKit
4) Insert my Prelude soundcard and start enjoying!

Yes, I think so.

But first I have some hurdles to cross. Get rid of the FastSCSI2 HD which is broken, and find another way to activly terminate the FastSCSI end (seems like the Plextor CDROM is only passive termination).

Then I have to merge the dutch keyboard with my norwegian keyboard since SHIFT, E and C doesn't work, and I seems really dodgy (Have to holdt it in long before I get the letter I.)

And also I have a lot of other questions for the good folks of a.org which I need sorted out first :)

They aren't all as expensive as that one, this was posted on Amibay yesterday:

Hi,

For those that doubted that Amibay would ever see any cool stuff up for grabs, these have just gone on offer in the Recycle Bin for just the shipping costs:-

A500 with 020 accelerator
A2000 with 020 accelerator
A3000 030 Tower
A4000 040
Time base correctors: DPS and Kitchen Syncs ( a couple of them)
DraCo Vision tower complete with video card, DV capture and playback card and software.

I've got first dibs on the 4000/040, everything else is up for grabs, if you want it, sign up fast, I can't see them being there long.....

A 400/040 for the shipping costs from Canada to the UK? That has to be cheaper than the one you got....

WTF
