The A4000 that came back :-)

I see what you mean by the photo above. Just looked at the real Warp Engine and it is spotless. Wierd! Mind you, the top 3 pix were taken with a Nokia N95 and the bottom 3 were just grabbed to the memory stick of my old a Sony DCR TRV-320E camcorder.

Anyone know what the maximum is for the Commodore 1942 as I don't want to push it too hard and break it?

Odds are that it will take most standard and doubled Amiga modes at full overscan.

I'm not that greedy :lol: I did have 7 but sold one to an A.Org member who desperately wanted one. Now I'm back up to 7 again :-) :-) :-)


It's an 040 at 40Mhz. Not that far behind a Cyberstorm 060/50. I'll post a SysInfo screengrab showing its speed (assuming it still works :-D)

my condolences about your friend too. didn't know what CJD is. Just looked it up, it sounds terrible. my prayers for him and his wife ...

by the way, that looks like a cute bridgeboard too (if you won't make use of it wink wink )

Thank you countzero. Yes, it's the human form of mad-cow disease. I've watched loved ones die from cancer, but I was not prepared to see anything like what this dreadful disease does to a person. Apperently only 200 people have died from it in the UK. Andy sure was unlucky :-(

Actually, I'm curious about this bridgeboard having never seen one. Didn't keropi post pix of his A4000 running PC games with a bridgeboard, or was that something else?

According to Sysinfo my Cyberstorm MK3 (060/50) is actually an 040 at 392MHz!!
That means your Warpengine is miles behind! :lol:

Wow, was OS3.9 really 7 years ago?!

[chiark]

The 1942 will take 800x600 from a graphics card, but doesn't like 1024x768 or higher, unfortunately.

Sorry to hear about your friend: that's an awful disease and a horrible way to go for everyone involved

"Wow, was OS3.9 really 7 years ago?!"

when you start to look like your avatar worry! ;-)

the battery!
you have to remove the battery ASAP!!!!!
dont replace it,just remove it.
clean the surface with alchohol,and post some high res pics in here .it seems to be in a bad condition....
as for the extras,there seems to be a wrapengine ,with onboard scsi ,which you should use,and some that bridge card,which is useless.
have fun mate,that what your friend would want.

Thank you AmiJim :pint:




Well she's all stripped down and ready for me to remove that battery and do some cleaning :-)

I'll also be able to test the HDD, CV64/3D and Warp Engine in another A4000. I'm curious to know whether the bridgeboard can still do its thing. Does anyone have any idea how I would go about testing it?
