After 6 years of searching I finally have one, so the thread can be closed. Thank god.

Speak to torsti76 here or on A1K forum.

Hi all, I’m looking for a 3000D floppy drive cover. If you have a spare for sale please let me know! Kind regards, Andy

Go and try playing an mp3 on just a 25mhz 030. Then try and play an mp3 on a 50mhz 030 and see how responsive the system remains.. As a reference point, playing mp3s on a stock Falcon is even more unresponsive, the system can’t do anything else, at all. Music apps like FalcAmp are not...

The DSP gets its killer app https://github.com/Wrangler491/DSP3210MPEG

If I could be arsed to get round to it id put it in a pc test bench so as to keep it accessible, but my heart’s not into retro right now so it sits where it is on top of my old 90s tower case.

I wanted to get the ‘best’ s939 board I could with pci agp and pcie and came across this with its crazy cpu daughter board. So now socket 940 rather than 939, but moreorless the same. The good thing is a bios flash enabled it to make use of a 3.2ghz A64 X2 cpu! It’s a fun system, and as you say...

Very interesting build! I have a similar one using an Asrock 939Dual-VSTA and the AM2CPU upgrade board to allow for a dual core s940 3.2ghz Athlon 64 X2. I’ve got an HD3850 with this and dual booting XP / Win7. It’s a very usual system given its PCI, AGP and 16x PCIe

Set the fans to move air from the zorro side through to the cpu card. You want airflow. Air will be drawn in from the grill next to the isa slots and out through the psu. If you set them the other way then they’ll fight the psu fan.

Very sad news indeed :( rest well Zetr0, we’ll miss you

As discussed in posts 14 and 15.

Dunno, I’ve never used one. But looking now at the list of custom chips I think you’re right, this won’t help a 4000T.

I think it will probably be possible to get scsi working correctly with BFG9060 on 3000D, 3000T and 4000T once the ReSDMAC is finished and released. SDMAC is a total lottery at the moment in these machines as the timings are all over the place - some SDMACs work fine with BFG9060, others fall...
