Commodore Amiga 3000 / MultiFaceCard III / GVP 8Mb

Autopsy:
This is my Commodore Amiga 3000. I used this computer for many years, example: for my BBS “Hidden Power“, coding Amiga / Snes Demos & Trainer and other fun stuff.
I decided to pull out of the box and try if still works, i must say that everything works like 15 years ago (including the Harddisk).
Description:
- Commodore Amiga 3000 rev B2.
- MultiFaceCard III (multi Serial Ports)
- GVP Card with 8 Mb of Fast Memory installed.
- Removed the original Battery.
from Wikipedia:
Released in June 1990, The Commodore Amiga 3000 was the third major release in the Amiga computer family. It revealed a much more focused and sincere attempt to build a high-end professional multimedia computer, boasting improved processing speed, better rendering of graphics, and a revision of the increasingly haggard operating system.
Its predecessors, the Amiga 500,1000 and 2000, shared the same fundamental system architecture and consequently performed without considerable variance in processing speed despite considerable variance in purchase price. The A3000 however, was entirely reworked and rethought as a genuine high-end workstation.
The new Motorola 32-bit 68030 CPU, 68882 math co-processor, and 32-bit system memory helped increase the “integer” processing speed by a factor of 5 to 18, and the “floating point” processing speed by a factor of 7 to 200 times. The new 32-bit Zorro III expansion slots provided for faster and more powerful expansion capabilities.
