Yes, 4MB is just enough for all these softs...

8MB is a must in a A5000.

Just a small update for today too...

I have finally a working mouse:


:D

I buzzed the connections at the pins, and as expected, the pinout was completely upside down.

:dualthumbup:

Nice! :yay2:

Thank you both.

There is still that floppy and IDE issue to solve though.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that a Mini Econet Module made by Ken Lowe from the Stardot forum is now fitted.

I will post some pictures later.

Splendid.

:girldance:

:cheers:

And as promised, here are two pictures of the Mini Econet received from Ken Lowe:


Compact and looking good, thanks to its SMD components perfectly matching the A5000 motherboard.

8-)

I'm assuming you're going to try and hook up the 3000 and 5000 using Econet? I ended up removing mine to prevent the Econet networking component from loading at each boot, but then I only have the one machine.

It's more for the sake of having a "complete" machine (= if there's an Econet connector at the rear of the A5000, then it would be stupid not to have Econet fitted...), but I will surely try it to transfer files since I have no Ethernet podule in the A5000.
