Is there anyone here who currently owns an original A4091 with the Commodore box still intact? If so, I would really appreciate getting some measurements of the box (interior, exterior dimensions). Now that we have working boards (yeah!), we are hoping to be able to re-create the original box as well.

That would be fabulous to have the box too…

If the boards are working, does that mean you will start selling them (PCB and/or kit form is fine) soon?

I don't want to speak for Stefan on this, but with the above in mind, I do believe that we will produce and ship a batch of boards by the end of April. |

That's great! Can we get some sysspeed or RSCP benchmarks to compare to the original boards?

@cdh: Support software wise, is anything more than hdtoolbox needed? (which is already included on everyone’s OS disks)

Nothing external is needed. I suppose if you use very old AmigaOS versions (3.0?) you will need a special SetPatch utility for 040 processors, if I remember correctly (i.e. just use the old install disk in that case). On anything 3.1.4 / 3.2 I have never used any non-OS software.

Check out section 2.20 in http://aminet.net/docs/help/AmigaOS_3.2-FAQ.txt on how to let the card work with hard drives larger than 4GB on 3.2 |

I'm tempted to buy one just because. At the moment I don't really have anything that needs it...

This was with an A3640 on an A4000 with 2M chip/16M fast, if I remember correctly. The other machine I test with is an A3000 without accelerator and the same memory amount.

ReA4091: SCSI2 on Zorro III for everyone!
I’ll be up for a boxed card when available in April or any other month after that. Okay, I say only one because further than that I’d be making my own boards when Gerbers and technical data will be made available… hopefully!
Great work for the Community. Congrats guys! About the PCI bracket, will it be available beyond your own batch? |

I wouldn't mind getting one, boxed or not, when available as well

I also hope that the relevant data is released for the DIY crowd.

The plan is to make the card available for folks to build their own at some point when we are ready. We are also trying to figure out a feasible solution for the custom bracket for these cases, as it is not an off the shelf product. Of course you can always 3d print something.

Things are promising.... Interested in getting a full kit with box, manual and bracket? Just a PCB? Just a bracket for your old broken 4091? Want to see the gerbers and just skip the pre-order? Let us know so we can get our priorities straight...
Let Chris and me know about Pre-Order Interest so we can plan better. There will also be a release of schematics / gerbers / BOM, but don't hesitate to fill out the form if that's what is interesting for you. |
