Short: A4000 Hardware Guide, v2.0 (03/95)

 Welcome to version 2.0 (March 1995) of the A4000 Hardware Guide!

 This heavily-updated file is a reference to various tips, problems, repairs,
 and other information on the Amiga 4000 and common boards and peripherals.

 Version 2.0 is much better than the original, at least as far as neatness
 and completeness go. A new layout has been incorporated, and a large amount
 of new information. Information on some boards is still missing, but the
 situation is improving.

 Boards Not Yet Covered:

 4091 Fast SCSI-2 Hard Disk Controller
 Fastlane Fast SCSI-2 Hard Disk Controller
 Oktagon SCSI-2 Hard Disk Controller
 DKB 3128 RAM Board
 Multiface III Expansion Port Board
 PAR Non-linear Video Editing Board
 Picasso II Video Board
 Retina Z2/Z3 Video Board
 Toaster 4000 Do-Everything Video Board

 Monitors:

 Complete specifications are still needed for many of the variations of the
 1084, 1950, and 1960. This would include pin-outs, scan rates, and other
 general information, as well as common failures that aren't covered already.

 Other Information:

 More common problems with the 4000, and how to prevent or repair them.
 Sources for repair parts. Information on other boards, monitors, peripherals,
 answers to common questions, or just miscellaneous information that you feel
 should be included with a comprehensive hardware guide for the A4000.

 If you can provide any of this information, please contact me, and I'll include
 it with the next version of this guide (and add your name to the Credits
 section, if it isn't already there!). Neither of us will make any money from
 this, but we will profit by having all this reference material in one place.
