Check my A3000D SCSI upgrade...
« on: May 16, 2011, 01:15:15 AM »
Before I turn this thing back on, thought I'd check with the borg:

I got a new WD SCSI chip, and after checking the regular authorities I
see the noted updgrade chip a:

WD33C93A-PL 00-08 9131 F (Latest Revision)

Mine should be ok? It shows:

WD33C93A-PL 00-08 9209 F

You have no ROM tower. Turn your computer on with that new SCSI chip and V'ger will be coming for you. Resistance is futile.

The only differing digits indicate the date code, so no problem whatsoever.

Ah, date code. Thanks Borg! I got it back together last night but had to stop because wife likes me to watch "King of Thrones" and "The Killing" with her. I'll try it tonight.

@SACC-guy

Well, I just use my Droid 2, and upload right to Pisca. It really takes the pain out sharing an image. Before it was, take pic, upload to PeeCee, re-size and upload to web; which sucks.
 

@Brian I just wanted to eliminate possible bugs, and I might have another SCSI device connected (CDROM) at some point.

I got this one off eBay. Search around and you can find them, Search by the chip designation:

WD33C93A-PL 00-08

8 available here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/WINDBOND-WD33C93A-PL-NEW-PARTS-QTY-2-/220745464240?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33657479b0

You might all look at it this way too:

Your A3000 has a hardware bug, that's in a socket; you can easily fix it. So do it.

@the goose
LOL Yep! Only because I use amiga...
no smart phone running os4 and no access to pisca...unless I switch to pc/mac

I could use pointers on uploading to the org. If you never needed to do it, newbie clues are de rigeur
Thanks,
Michael
