pics?

Not mine, but here is what it looks like:

The floppy is on the right side rather than the middle, however.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

It is superbly built and really solid. It is also remarkably small.

I really thought he would've left our company long ago. He is a director in another unit but always talks about his alleged IT background. It would be a step up for him and I'm sure he'll apply.

that's the worst. So he has no clue or is convinced "the old way" is better.

I take that back. OJ his ass

He argues, debates, and tries to tell those of us in IT who work on his projects how to do them. That's the biggest issue.

Any one want to buy some DDR3 laptop RAM?

Any one want to buy some DDR3 laptop RAM?

what ya got?

 

[alfa147x]

what ya got?

4gb, 2gb, 1gb, 1gb, 1gb, 1gb.

I have a thread in FSFT

 

[IndyColtsFan]

The 3000 is more or less in mint condition except the back card bracket. Someone took a dremel to it and I'd imagine it was because they wanted to fit a Video Toaster 2000 in it.

4gb, 2gb, 1gb, 1gb, 1gb, 1gb.

I have a thread in FSFT

will the 1gb work in an Inspiron E1505?

 

[alfa147x]

will the 1gb work in an Inspiron E1505?

nope

 

[rudeguy]

then no thanks

cool!

Regardless of what resolution it's spits out, is it a VGA plug?

Yes, the Amiga 3000 was the only Amiga that had a built-in flickerfixer and therefore, was the only one that was compatible with VGA monitors. It had a DB15 plug and I have it connected to an Acer LCD.

The other Amigas could have flickerfixer boards added. I bought one for my Amiga 2000 when I refurbed it last year and it is connected to my Dell 2001fp (PC's second monitor) and I just flip it to the VGA input when I want to use the Amiga.

I'll probably move the floppy to the center like the picture above. I also have to add a battery and I'd like to avoid taking the motherboard out if possible.

What's his username here? :biggrin::biggrin::twisted:

That would've been my next question. How to make it work, otherwise.

That would've been my next question. How to make it work, otherwise.

If you don't have a flickerfixer, you have a few options:

1. Get a monitor that syncs down to 15 Khz and use an Amiga 23 pin to VGA cable.
2. Get a regular Amiga monitor.
3. Get an RF modulator and connect to a TV.

The Amiga 3000's VGA output looks much better than my Amiga 2000's VGA output and I imagine the 3000 has a better flickerfixer.

The 3000 was the Cadillac of Amigas. Commodore was in trouble and cut all sorts of corners and made compromises on the Amiga 4000. The 4000 did not have a flickerfixer or onboard SCSI; it had a bugged and terribly slow IDE interface instead.

For me, this is just a hobby. I love playing with old machines and I especially like being able to buy machines and peripherals that I could not have afforded 20+ years ago.

ned

 

[IndyColtsFan]

I found a place for it on my second computer desk -- it is so small that it fits between 2 of the vertical supports of the hutch and I just put my Scanjet 5p on top of it for now. I have it cabled to the VGA port of the Acer monitor and my second PC is cabled to the DVI port.

 

[rudeguy]

my cat's a meow meow kitty

she talks a lot

 

[zzuupp]

Out of the 3 options.

I would've assumed 3. or at least composite video out.
2 sounds risky spendy for a 20 yr old CRT.
