A4000TX ATX Amiga motherboard

[cooke]

Dont know if this is the place for general A4000TX questions but hopefully it is. I just bought a A4000TX here on Amibay and want to know if there is a IO-shield available somewhere that fits this board. If not would there be interesting maybe to make a group order for some custom made?

Thanks,

Bjorn

Hi Bjorn, good idea and count me in

Hey Hese, If I apply fix 2A, does that affect the use of the jumper? Ie are locked in PC floppy only or can you still switch between Amiga or PC floppy drives.

With each of the possible fixes the Jumper works as intended, but without a fix it depends on the component tolerances of U356 and Q301 whether the switchover works or not.

Hese already posted a matching IO Shield: http://www.amibay.com/showthread.php?101477-A4000TX-ATX-Amiga-motherboard&p=992934&viewfull=1#post992934 For small series that is quite expensive but many 3d print provider can build a real metal shield with the the stl file. Also a selfmade is possible, preferably use some ESD Filament or print in cheap PLA and use some conductive painting on the inner side and the fold...

OK thanks for the link!

I'll take it to one of my customers that have NC-machines capable of creating the patterns in real metal blanks. Don't know if they can read the stl format but I guess I'll find out. Have been looking online for a source that can produce metal IO shields but so far no luck.

I think most newer 3D production System can read an stl, as it is almost standard.
If not just download FreeCAD (as the name says free of charge) create a new Document, and import the .stl then export in the desired File type. E.g. .step should be something everyone should be able to process.

Just thought I'd show off some photos of this board in a case I picked.

As you can see everything works great. I'm using a PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse with no issues. Running OS 3.1.4 and ROMs.

A 64gb Compact Flash Card for the hard drive, and have installed an A3660 Rev 1.1 with a Rev 1 060 CPU clocked at 60mhz.


Now I am just waiting on my zz9000 (RTG!) and my Fast ATA 4000 MK VII Zorro III card (will hook up my CD Drive when that comes). Almost there guys, but wanted to really say that Hese has put together something special with this board, and allowed me to retire my A1200, as this has become my main Amiga for use now.

Thanks Hese!

PS. I'd like to see some other cases, would anyone mind posting photos of theirs? I did have to modify the one in the photos just a little (using a dremmel) to fit the longer Zorro slots towards to bottom.
