Thought I'd share a little on my prized Amiga, the Amiga 4000T.
It's an Amiga Technologies A4000T, 68040 @ 25 MHz system that's been upgraded a little
Starting with the system itself, it is of course 3.1 ROM with AmigaOS 3.9. It has the standard 2 MB chip and 16 MB ram. I have ready to install a ROMY 1 MB Kickstart adapter and PIO2 Mode update gals for the IDE controller (stock is PIO0).
For storage the A4000T has five 5.25" front accessible racks, (3) horizontal slots and (2) vertical slots.
In the top horzontal slot I have a 5.25" bracket that holds a Slim slot loading DVD-RW optical drive and a 3.5" IDE CF-Card reader with a 4 GB card for my boot drive. These are connected to the internal IDE connector.
In the slot below that I have a 5.25" bracket that holds (2) 2.5" drives and (1) 3.5" front accessible device. This holds a 128 GB IDE SSD drive connected the WarpEngine's SCSI controller (with an ACard IDE>SCSI adapter), and will eventually hold a 2.5" SSD drive for the Flyer's Audio drive (using an ACard IDE>SCSI adapter). The 3.5" slot of this bracket holds a multi-format USB reader that is connected to the RapidRoadUSB. The bottom horizontal slot holds the same bracket as above and will house (2) SSD drives for the Flyer's VideoA and VideoB drives (also using ACard adapters) and the 3.5" slot holds an Amiga HD disk drive.
A WarpEngine 4040 (68040 @ 40 MHz) with 128 MB of RAM replaces the A3640 card, and as mentioned above has my primary storage drive connected to it. I have a revision 6 mask full 68060 CPU and adapter ready to install which will bring the system up to a 68060 @ 80 MHz). This will require a custom ROM so I'm waiting to do a recap and motherboard upgrades (ROMY and PIO2 mod).
Inside filling the available slots I the Toaster 4000 occupying the first video slot and covering one of the SIMM sockets, requirng me to use two 8 MB SIMMs instead of the normal four 4 MB ones.
I have a CyberVision 64/3D w/ScanDoubler card, occupying a Zorro III and second Video slot, this providing RTG graphics and 30 khz frequencies for Amiga screenmodes.
Next is an X-Surf 100 w/RapidRoadUSB, giving me network/internet access and USB connectivity.
Below that is a YCP-100 which allows for S-Video connections for the Toaster/Flyer, giving slightly higher resolution in/out versus the composite/BNC input/output connections they have.
Finally I have a Video Flyer occupying the last slot, ready for the ACard's I have to adapt IDE (and/or SATA with inexpensive SATA>IDE adapters) to the three onboard SCSI controllers it has for Audio, VideoA and VideoB drives. Basically a completely self-contained Video Toaster/Flyer system. I have six TBC's in rackmounts (3) so I'm covered for syncing all the inputs
The system is open as I've been experimenting with some old SCSI drives and some 2.5" laptop drives for the Flyer but I'm waiting on picking up some SSD drives. Plus I need to get the motherboard recapped and upgraded.
My favorite has been getting the front facing accessible components though. The CF-Card, the Multi-Card USB reader, the Slim optical drive, etc...
Here's a small video of ejecting a disc, since it's a slot load drive and not tray loaded I thought it looked a little cleaner as I had previously a Slim tray-load drive.
