Throwing my wallet at the screen, nothing's happening.

Seriously, beautiful work. Would order one for sure.

Marlon_ · 27 March 2018, 12:49

Do want! =) Next step ATX form factor?

@Hese AWESOME WORK MAN!!!
I can't believe what you did, simply amazed.

A4000Bear · 27 March 2018, 13:03

Fantastic work! I can see quite a few people wanting one of those.... like me!

It would be great if a few simple updates could be incorporated, such as those already available as hacks to existing motherboards. Things like 64MB Fast RAM support and larger kickstart support.

netraider · 27 March 2018, 13:06

Simply outstanding!!

A work of love and passion...it's hard to imagine how many hours Hese spent working on this beauty - hope you enjoyed every minute of them!

Congrats!

Very nice work. There are plenty of talented repair peeps all over cursing the rotted A4000D motherboards they get in, with pads, traces, and VIAs eaten away, and hours lost trying to repair them. I, too, have a motherboard I acquired in this state over a year ago now in the hands of a domestic repairer and it will sit there until something to replace it comes along. The repair time and cost could well exceed a clean transfer of new/working parts to a new one. I hope you are willing/able to offer a solution to them. Thanks again for just making the effort.

That is simply the most amazing project I have seen to date and I have seen many on here as in the Vampire etc but this tops the lot for sheer dedication size and skill.

The passion and skills that people on here show is getting better and better all the time, if only commodore could have developed stuff like you can they would still be making money to this day

This is really, really nice work. Kudos!

kolla · 27 March 2018, 14:42

Fantastic!!

Hands up anyone who want to see one running with an A3660, hehe \o/

trixster · 27 March 2018, 15:11

Fantastic! Put me on the list to buy!

Challange accepted ;-)

Wow, I really hope you share this work. It would be absolutely tragic to see it kept private. I've got so many boards people send in that could be received with these.

alenppc · 27 March 2018, 16:56

I also have 2 dead A4000 mobos with extensive battery damage that could totally use this.

retroredrum · 27 March 2018, 16:57

Impression work !

oggie · 27 March 2018, 16:59

How did you manage to get all the components? Stripped another dead board? I suspect a lot of the components are no longer available new.

mattymuc · 27 March 2018, 17:03

Except for Alice you can get every component new or NOS.
(ok a non fake 68030 is hard to get also)

Awesome work, I love this board!

Bprepared · 27 March 2018, 17:15

Love it! The community have been crying out for this...which is why you kept it a secret until it was proved working I guess.
You must have the patience of a saint

about to do the same on a A4000T build if you get PCB's made ill take 1
