At last, I got me an A3000!!
« on: January 31, 2006, 03:17:18 PM »
Nice, clean and stock(ish) '030 25MHz with FPU, 2MB/16MB, 3GB HDD, KS3.1, OS3.9.

Any recommendations on upgrades?

Hey, Thats a nice clean A3000! Not often you see that.
If you can find one getting an excelorator would be a very nice boost. Phase5 (Cyberstorm) makes some that fit.

Congrads!  My A3000 is my favourite of all my amigas.  I'm having plenty issues of my own.  As long as you have 3.1 roms, which obviously you do, there aren't many upgrades short of the video card.  That's what I am working on right now.

My favourite upgrade I made was my Budha Flash ide controller.  And, that's not even because of the IDE controller, that's because of the A1200 style clockports that come on the card.  I have a Subway USB adapter hooked up, and using all kinds of fun USB stuff, including a USB floppy, keyboard, mouse and cdrom.

I love this stuff!

Congrads on have 16MB of ZIP ram already in your machine.  That's the biggest nightmare to deal with.  LOL

OK, who's first to donate a PPC accelerator ;)

I also got a GVP Phonepak card/software, a 2091 with HDD, an 8MB Zorro RAM expansion, a 1084S monitor and a 1942 monitor.
A Datel SynchroExpressIII, SCALA, CDROM drives and a load of other software.
Oh, and an A2000HD.

Ideally I'm looking for a network card, graphics card and an accelerator.

Or I may just sell the lot and get me an A4000, there's a thought...

Man thats clean!

it may look yellow to some if you compare it to an A1200 or A600, but thats the original color of the A3000

the A1200 and A600 were of a different vanilla right from the start.

Nice!  lucky dude!.

Looks like the second floppy drive was removed?  No plate to cover the slot?  Just get a A3000 floppy drive.  I have a original CBM HD 1.76MB one with the button but it needs to have added a write protect/disk detect sensor as it broke, otherwise it works fine.

I much prefer some of the beat up A3000s I've seen lately; scratches everywhere, battery damage to motherboard, vga socket abused, broken 15-31kHz switch, no case screws, broken LEDs.....ah now that's a survivor!

Nice A3000, one of the best Amigas made.  I have three myself, two with 040/40mHz Warp Engines, great stable machines.

Now that's just greedy, your punishment is to send one over to me ;)

Would the A3640 be of any use in this '030 25MHz?

(If you could send a graphics card over with the accelerator i'd appreciate it)

Edit: Forgot to add, if anyone has any bits they wanna sell, give me a shout.

I'm in 2 minds as to whether I should sell it, part of me (80%) has wanted a nice A3000 for many years, the other 20% wants an A1 or Amy05(6..7.8.etc)
I was offered around $200 for it which I think is a bit low.
