A4000D in Mirage Pro Tower =D
Sorry guys I forgot to share this project here, I started a little while ago.
I got my hands on an Elbox Mirage Pro at a decent price which I've been waiting for ages to get! I just couldn't pay the £500 ish that Elbox charge for this setup so I'm glad I've found a nice used setup which I bought and partially traded some Amiga items towards. So here she is: Here's the case, pretty much like new: ![]() Not the prettiest of chassis I know, but much easier to work on than an A4000T which is what this will eventually replace (well one of them) And some goodies to go inside: ![]() Just like the old Pwer Tower there is a removable side tray you mount the Motherboard on: ![]() I'm using a RevD Motherboard in this project, this one has the built in EC030 which is pretty handy if you don't have your accelerator to hand, or if it's away being repaired. ![]() The Mediator Busboard is mounted on top, it has 5 PCI and 6 Zorro Slots, oh and a Video slot too... ![]() ![]() And mounted in the Tower: ![]() 350w PSU fitted as I plan to fill this case up ![]() ![]() Some PCI Cards going in! ![]() And hopefully a couple of Zorro Cards too! ![]() Cards seem to fit pretty well inside, plenty of space and room for air flow: ![]() As it happens, I think you need an MMU for the Mediator to work, I couldn't get it booting with the Mediator Driver so I had to borrow a Turbo Board from another Amiga, just until my CSPPC comes back - then we really have some fun! ![]() After a little messing around, everything except USB is working, I'll have to read through some threads to find out what I'm doing wrong... ![]() To be continued...

*This update was from 13th January 2012*
Hikey is officially a Legend, got my CSPPC back today and it's working perfect ![]() I've installed it in the A4000D and she booted first time & seems 100% stable. ![]() ![]() ![]() First PPC app tests worked perfect so I installed Warp3D and configured, QuakeII runs great. [ Show youtube player ] And just tested Wipeout2097 which is nice and smooth too! Thanks so much Hikey ![]() *This update was from 14th January 2012* I've installed my CyberVisionPPC, I had to borro the Deneb from my A4000T as the rommable modules I need for this setup are all in the Deneb ![]() Anyway, pleased to say she booted first time, no issues ![]() Time to find out if you can used PCI Sound/Network with the CVision... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by fitzsteve; 15 March 2012 at 11:10. |

Update from January 18th 2012
A few new pics taken today, I've swapped the ribbon cabled for something a little more up to date, need to re-route them when I have some more time. Oh also added a DKB3128 & 128mb ZorRam lol, I know who needs almost 400mb Ram in a Classic Amiga ![]() Still, fun though! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by fitzsteve; 15 March 2012 at 11:07. |

Very nice setup there, you're making me envious!
![]() I'm trying hard to expand my only A4000 while you have like 3 almost-fully upgraded A4000 setups. ![]() |

Update from January 18th 2012
Got a small update for ya'll, I've mounted some bits in the case a bit better, the CF-IDE is mounted at the back now and I've installed ny CDRW with internal Card Reader. Dual booting is all working perfect and it's all rebootless since I keep the BB2 modules in the Deneb ![]() Cables are a bit messy, that needs a tidy up before I close the case.... ![]() ![]() This is CWB3.9 with CGX4 & Kens Icons/AfA_OS running of the CyberVisionPPC, booting off the SCSI: ![]() ![]() And if I plug the CF card in it boots up CWB3.9 with Picasso96 using the MediatorPCI/Voodoo 3 ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm using registerd 060 HSMath Libs and WarpDT which I also licenced, this machine runs like sh*t off a shovel ![]() Last edited by fitzsteve; 15 March 2012 at 11:12. |
