So, I started to much postings about this machine, I feel I would try another configuration. (not willing to give it up).
The help I've received on here was alway's first class, usefull, meaningfull, and learningfull, but the machine played up all the time with different issues, I must say I've got more technical help on here then I got from hp when having a contract (beining sysadmin)..Maybe if amibay needs money, you'll better start a paid pc support forumoh:
So let's start:
the 68060 MK1 with scsi is crammed togeter with an IDE dvd, pci mediator, the deneb, the pci card, there is no air left, and another post was about a crammed scsi cable. Truth is, it does not feel right to use it this way..The machine played up to frequently with problems. (deneb, pci, hard disk probs, ide controller probs, scsi controller probs, heating the indivision etc..)
I have two solutions in my head, one long term spendig some bucks, secondly short time not spending money at all
number 1) (for free parts in house, short term)
Forget about the scsi disk, together with the cable it leaves no room ++ remove the ide dvd and put in a ide cf adaptor in that bay, use the external port of the scsi MK1 and add an old apple scsi cdrom.
cheap ass addon: (say it if it's not possible please)
Enlarge the SCSI cdrom case and put a scsi hard drive extra on that interface, perhaps using a drive bay from a cut case for the time. use an old laptop psu to power the drive and use an 7805 and 78012 to take 19 volt down to the right value.. 5V and 12V do I need to take the 12V for the 7805? Please tech guys say if it is strong enough then?
2) When I've got some small money to spend buy localy: Source some external devices cdrom bay, (with like 6 cdrom slots) (ex server) and put scsi devices in there. (like hard disks & cdroms) (I am not in a position to buy anything, I am saving to buy my last missing big box amiga..)
AND I would like to add some fans in the A4000 with the space gained, probably using the small hole in the double cf etc, using the back holes next to the zorro brackets etc...
Are these methods ok:
To boot from the scsi?
Fast enough?
Doable?
Do you support my vision, to avoid heat, leave enough power, leave more air, have a machine you like to see open and and closed without feeling that it's going to explode..
Thanks in advance for helping me with my s***t once more..
