#A3000 Upgrades
3 messages in this thread
Dave,
You're welcome!
As for the amount of cuting needed, as I look at the front of my case, the
top of the Syquest drive is level with the top of the df0: floppy slot.
The bottom of the drive extends maybe a millimeter lower than the case
indentation below the floppy eject button. (Not the indentation that has
the floppy access light in it, the lower one.)
I haven't checked the prices lately (you know of course the FRIST LAW of
computer hardware purchases don't you? Never, never, NEVER look at the
price of hardware that you bought a few months ago:-} ) but as I recall,
there was about $75 – $100 difference on comperable items.
I'm using 2.1 and didn't have to do anything except partition and format
using HDTools.
Hope this helps,
Rob

Thanks, Rob. I'll save the message in case I decide to upgrade to a
SyQuest. Right now, I'm putting that and the memory off for a while. I'm
itching to install 3.1, (I have 2.04) but I have heard people tell me just
now:
1) QuarterBack will crash under 3.1 (I have QuarterBack, but AmiBack is on
order)
2) Battmem bit for Sync/Async SCSI transfer should be SYNC (Mine is set to
ASYNC)
So, I'll be waiting for AmiBack and MagicWB 2.0 to arrive before I do the
dirty deed.
Actually, I really don't want to give up the black and grey WB title bar!
:^)
Thanks again!
