Any advice specific to starting up a TT030 that?s been idle for ~20 years? The only
question with that system is, where is the monitor I used for it.
One thing that impressed me about the ZZ9000 is that it apparently even works in an A500.
I dug out the spare A3000, and *FINALLY* found my main A3000, it turns out it was hiding
behind some stuff in my Darkroom. Both systems have batteries starting to go. That?s my
next project. I think I might be lucky. The damage looks almost non-existant, definitely
better than my Lisa 2 when I got it 20+ years ago. While looking for the main A3000, I
dug out partial A500, it?s missing a CIA, and a Keyboard, as well as the top of the case.
I also dug out the two A1200?s, one says it has bad video, the other a bad Alice (that?s
the one that overheats).
Thanks to my son?s laptop needing work recently, I know where my soldering iron is. :-)
That was actually harder to find than the A3000. :-)

My main A3000 has a Picasso IV+, and a 10Mbit 10Base-2 card, this would be a seriously
tempting update. I never got around to adding USB, and would like a better Network card.
Do you have one of these? I?m afraid I haven?t been on the Amiga email lists, or boards
for a *VERY* long time.
I'm on the other side of the fence with a TT030, but I understand the
experience with them has been mixed from "everything that is supposed
to work does", to "some bits work but others don't, but the dev
releases updates which make more bits work".
I do like that they open source the FPGA logic
https://github.com/mntmn/zz9000-fw and that it just works in a
standard Zorro slot?
