Retronaut> Amiga 4000: Is the Fastlane Z3 the best home for a BlueSCSIv2 Upgrade?
In this video, we install a Fastlane Z3 Fast SCSI2 card in my Amiga 4000 and use a BlueSCSIv2 to upgrade the machine with much faster disk IO and the potential of a CD-Rom and WIFI based networking. However, the Fastlane Z3 did not work at first, so follow me as I trouble-shoot the card, go over its quirks, get it working, set it up for optimal performance and go on to benchmark it.
Video: [ Show youtube player ] I'd love to hear your feedback on the video, in its comments, or indeed here. The Fastlane Z3 was something of a unicorn before I bought it, And now, having used it, it feels more like a porcupine. Watch the video to see why. Its a complex beast... |

I was alway curious to know what happened to the FW update to allow Fastlane to use bigger SIMMs (256MiB RAM). It was discussed many times in lots of forums but never appeared I don't think?
