I'm new to the bridgeboard world of Amiga's and was looking for help.
This one looks like it was a regular 486 SLC that the prior owner made it a SLC2 by adding a the faster Cyrix chip. Crazy hack job, but the prior owner claims it works.
I was going to put it in my 3000T with a Tseng ET4000W32i and a decent sound card, something compatible and with wave tables. Was going to use it for fun retro gaming.
My 3000T has a warp engine 060@80MHz.
1. Is the ET4000 a good card for the Goldengate?
2. What soundcard would you recommend?
3. What will I need to get started as far as software?
4. The card doesn't have ram, should I track some down?
5. I'm using 3.1.4.1 and I'm concerned about it being compatible? (I have found a few things that don't run right under it).
6. There is a fan on it that is just loose on the board, do I need the fan or will a good heatsink be good?
7. Should I consider updating to the ti chip with more cache? Does it make a big difference for retro gaming? Who does the mods?
8. Any comments on the hack job done?
