Hey - its been a long time since ive owned an Amiga (About 25 years). Last week i got hold of a family members A4000 which was unexpected to say the least...i knew about it, and asked a few times over the years if i could take ownership of it but fell on deaf ears until now. Its come in a full tower case "Ateo Concepts" from memory (im at work) but does come fully loaded. Cyberstorm 060/ppc, PicassoIV, IOBlix card and an AriadneII network card with the memory maxed out. The motherboard has suffered from the usual battery leakage damage. But, this morning i sent off the mainboard to be Re-Amiga'd along with the Cyberstorm to be recapped and the PicassoIV to be given a quick check as ive got no actual working hardware.
Once i get that back as ive not got the oem case i think my only option is to recase it...the Ateo case is way too big and these days the requirement for lots of HD's and cr rom and writers is a thing of the past so i plan to get a small desktop case or small midi case to retro fit the 4000 into....thats my initial plan anyway although ive got a couple of months to wait for the mainboard to come back though.!
Everything has changed so i plan to bring it into the present day with some flash storage and one of those go tek drives, its got 3.1 roms in it but i plan to get 3.2 but cannot remember for the life of me how the os will hang together on it its been so long since ive messed with one!
