T4000 is VERY cool…got mine today… David Hopkins
Urgh. (as he slowly turns green with envy!)
Congrats!
So did you pay a real price, or get it gratis?
(If the former, how much & where?)

Well, I wish I got it free…haha. Nope, I went and paid in the area of $5500
for the thing. BOY is it nifty though…I got mine at Century Computers in La
Habra, CA. Ask for Bob. David Hopkins
Was this for the Toaster4000? If so, how much RAM/HD space?
Thanks,
Erik Flom
Well, the price I quoted was a figure obtained by combining the price I paid
for the Amiga 4000 with 120HD and 18megs of RAM at Century, and the Toaster4000
card from NewTek… David Hopkins
Oh, OK. Thanks!
I just ordered my system, and the equivalent is going to set me back about
$4500.00, so I guess I can't complain. (Of course, that doesn't count the
4091 controller for $320 – Ouch!)

Gee Erik, you shouldna done that! Since you already have a 2000
Toaster, you could have simply purchased ASDG's LANRover
thin-ethernet system for both machines and then they could have
shared drives, without a SCSI card in the 4000. Of course, it would
have cost you about the same (or a tiny bit more), but the
expandability of the system is well worth it. That way, each machine
you buy, you just slap in another Rover card and you've got access to
EVERYTHING. I now have 5 machines sharing almost 3 gigs of hard
drive space…and no SCSI in my 4000.
Also, I've had to drop out of the animation tape. It seems that a
bunch of the stuff I was going to send can't be sent yet, so I've got
to pass. I'll certainly participate next time, tho! Still hope to
get a copy so I can see what you guys are up to, BTW.
Howdy David, is LanRover a Zorro II card? in other words would a lowly
A500 with a Slot expansion chassis be able to use it?
A card rack which offered ALL of the required Zorro II voltages would probably
work fine. Remember that Ethernet requires +/- 12 volts. If your card rack
doesn't have it – then it can't possibly work.
Thanx for the info on Lanrover. The Card rack in question is the now
defunct Bodega Bay. I guess I'd probably be better off getting a few used
3000's instead anyway.
Lanrover? What's that?
