For Sale: Z3 Fastlane - Fast SCSI 2 Controller + 16MB RAM

[Zetr0]

(Posted on AmiBay)

Today I am sending back out into the wild a Z3 FastLane SCSI card + RAM

If you are wanting to improve your A3000 or A4000 and get it away from PIO IDE then the Z3 Fastlane (a Fast SCSI 2 Controller) is worth considering

• It is capable of upto 10MB a sec Async data transfer, (achieved with Zero CPU load)
• The card will take upto 64MB of ram in 16x 4MB 30 pin simms,

I am releasing this little beauty back to the wild as I have a CyberSCSI II for my Cyberstorm Mk2 and as such I no longer have a use for it.



History

I bought this card and it need a little repair to one of the capacitors, I repaired the area and layered it with PCB laqure protect



The Z3 FastLane is also bootable. its difficult to describe a SCSI controller, I suppose the best expression I can give is this.

Using the Native IDE on my A4000 feels sticky and stuttery (even with my 060), with SCSI its instant access.... instead of waiting few minutes for a WHDLoad game directory to read, with the SCSI its populated in seconds and really breaths a new lease of life into the machine

The card fires up and works fine in my A4000 if there are any problems I will refund you on return of the card =)

I am not looking for much only £60 + postage
