My second A4000d with scan-doubler and SCSI hard drive

My third A4000d /040 which sadly suffered battery damage

Time for a new motherboard me thinks. And so after
sourcing a suitable candidate from the States I fitted
the new board on 17th April 2005, and she now works fine

Click to see how I changed the A4000D motherboard

Having fully restored the A4000 above to it's former
glory, I added a new hard drive, operating system .. plus
a new graphics and sound card... Plus a fast serial port
and SCSI controller. My goodness, what a lucky Amiga

The PicassoIV Cometh

The busted A4000d restored and fully 'locked and loaded'

A4000d with Cybervision64 and Multiface

Yet another A4000d added to the collection

This A4000d/040 came fully populated and had this
very sexy fan mounted on the port plate.. My first
job was to Install a Picasso II card and update the
operating system to OS3.9

New Motherboard for January 2008

Answer regarding the mystery IDE connector...

It's a NoIDE hardware hack, to disable the IDE port
(useful when used with a SCSI controller to avoid the
30 sec boot delay)...Thanks Framiga Amiga Org

The NoIDE links pins 3 and 5 with pin 39
