So, before I shell out $LOTS on some all-powerful '060 accelerator, I'd like to get the rest of my A4000 project up-and-running. Does anyone out there have an A3630 left over after an upgrade project that they'd be prepared to part with? There must be loads of 'em lying around. :)
Hi Andy. PM me if you want to discuss this. :thumbsup:

Blimey Andy, before spending anything you need to get the motherboard fully working... Any plans for repairing that?
@ chiark
Without a CPU card m8 in an A4KD, he can't do jack. ;)

My thoughts exactly, hence the request for a bog-standard A3630, just so I can get going on the thing.Quote:

To the mods: I've just sorted out a deal with Kin for a CPU card. Will follow up here once it's arrived. :)
I'll live without the IDE, since I now have a small collection of Zorro SCSI cards, and will (hopefully, one day) have a Cyberstorm with SCSI for the wee beastie.Quote:

Mouse port will require a bit of investigation, but if it works with pressure in the right place, it shouldn't be too troublesome. I've got PC COM ports spare that I can sabotage for parts. It's entirely appropriate for PC hardware to die for the cause of an Amiga. ;)
The RTC circuit might need repairing - it might not just be a case of replacing the battery.
But yes, good point, you need a CPU card :D . I was tempted to send it to Anthony Hoffman (as I think I mentioned in other threads) - I can pass on his details if you like :) - but it'll work with the CPU card in.
