ScuzzBlog: Diaries August 2017 Entry 14th August 2017: Post: 1 Shelving some A4000ds [ diary entry ] Whilst sorting out the disks on the large table I decided to check out the two A4000ds I used as end table buffers to stop disks dropping off the edge. I also stack CDs on the top. Seems a waste of two A4000s but in truth they have their problems. The first of the two A4000s was gifted to me with other working machines. Sadly it came with a broken mouse port. I guess one day I will fix the computer. I fitted an 030 card and reconnected the floppy having re-fixed the power supply including the on off switch arm. Fired up and she came to life immediately. Checking the screen I was unable to use the mouse. Fortunately if you use the right or left Amiga keys with the arrow keys you can still move the pointer and interestingly the click button worked on the mouse. Second 4000 is a really sad case in truth. I bought this machine from Germany and when it came I was advised that the memory SIMM slots were busted. The first works but the others are shot. For a good period I used this computer on the internet and had it loaded up with cards and a Cybervision 64 etc. http://www.scuzzscink.com/amiga/car_0406/car_1606_056.jpg Then one night she just stopped working. Dead all but for the power supply and hard drive. Sad because she has the 040 and was a real nifty machine. I fear the board has finally expired. I will extract the contents of the hard drive whilst the machine is out on the table. Future project I guess.
