Post here everytime you get something new!

Ok, here are some pictures of the 3000T.
It is a rev. 6.1 Motherboard.
It has 3 drives in it, one hidden in the top 5 1/2 inch bay, like I said that 600 meg drive is huge.
I did not do a complete teardown for time today, that will come later, when I can swap that battery out. I will have more of a complete teardown on the blog later, I just am having too much fun trying to find out everything on it.

BTW does anyone know where I can download a "Directory Opus" Ver. 4 tutorial for noobs. I know just the very basics and I would love to dive in more too it.

Also, the 1084S monitor just sucks on this machine, but, I will find something way better soon.

Very nice.

My 1541 Ultimate ii just turned up, looking forward to hooking it up!

Also picked up a boxed Nintendo Virtual Boy with Mario Tennis

Good Times :thumbsup:

Thanks! Exactly my thoughts about the keys! :thumbsup:

Someone should come up with a smiley that turns from yellow to white. :p

Nice! I hope you enjoy the 1541U-II. I really like the case but noticed mine looks a bit marred up, like yours does as well. Gideon says that the only way to even open the case is to destroy it. :( Oh well, it's much better than no case at all!

I have wanted to pick up a Virtual Boy at some point but won't unless I get an incredible deal on it. :) Good stuff! :thumbsup:

Yeah it was the first thing that I noticed. Its a shame as well given the thought and planning that went into the case design. I havent used mine just yet and will probably wait for the firmware update, but I also read that there is a potential issue with using this on a SX64 which I was hoping to do. Have you heard or tested this being an SX owner yourself?

I actually had my SX64s out this weekend because I was not sure of the working state of them. I knew I had one that turned on but had garbage on the screen. I ended up getting three of the four working properly, using parts from the broken one, but there are still a few small problems with two of them (on one, the disk doesn't pop out when the drive is opened and on the other there is a problem with the cartridge port and a few keys don't work, even with a good keyboard).

I haven't actually tested the 1541U-II on my SX64 yet either. I had the same thought as you to use that in my SX64 since it fits and looks better than the original 1541U. I'll give it a try though and let you know what I find out. :)

I love looking through the pictures of what people have acclaimed... this should be stickied (if that correct English)

I got an Elenco LP-560 logic probe. It has leds for hi and low states, a led and audio for pulse and a selector for TTL/CMOS.

Now I'm going to get to the bottom of what's wrong with the SVI-728.
