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.

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

@Protek: the keys need an urgent Retr0bright treatment, otherwise, awesome!

Thanks! Exactly my thoughts about the keys!

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

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!

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.
