  1. I recently came to understand I have one of the last Amiga 2000s to roll off the assembly line.

    - Revision 6.4 motherboard
    - Agnus: 318069-17 8375 (NTSC) from Sept '92
    - Denise: 390433-02 8373R4PD from Sept '92
    - Paula: 252127-02 8364R7PD from Sept '92

    I bought it as part of a lot of 35 or so new-in-box A2000s I found on usenet back in the year 2000. The shipping took much longer than expected, so the seller threw in an ASDG Dual Serial board as a bonus for me.

  3. I have an Amiga 2000 and would like to add a PiStorm accelerator to it - but I want to slot it into the CPU slot on the motherboard with a CPUslot-to-64pinDIP adapter, several of which are currently available out there for purchase.

    Critically, I want to be able to disable the PiStorm sitting in the CPU slot for 100% fallback to the original 68000 on the motherboard.

    Is anyone aware of a CPU slot adapter capable of fully disabling the CPU in the slot?

    I see this unit which has a DIP switch for E-clock and _BOSS which, I believe, control what I'm trying to do. I suppose I could remove the jumper and replace with cabled switches. Any issue with this?

  5. Amiga people: Do any of the new accelerators that work with the Amiga 2000 allow fallback to the original 68000 by way of a PHYSICAL SWITCH or jumper?

    I want an accelerator that can be disabled (without using soft-menus to control the state) so that the Amiga is able to fall back to its 100% exact original 68000 state, which some demos require to run properly, due to cycle-precise coding.

    I have an A2620 68020 accelerator in my NTSC A2000, but it does not have a physical switch (just a soft menu) and the state gets lost when I juggle that soft menu and the need to also use Degrader to reboot into PAL mode.

    Apparently the A2620 can be modified to add a switch, but it's beyond my abilities.

    Many thanks.

  7. Replica of the A2000 Revision 4 power supply unit
    As Andrea Mazzai writes, he had come into possession of an Amiga 2000 Rev. 4 with a faulty power supply. As he could not find any documentation online, and was also aware of his limited knowledge of analogue electronics, he decided to use this as an opportunity to analyse the power supply and learn something in the process.

  9. Nabend allerseits, kennst sich hier jemand mit Amiga Fehlercodes aus? Speziell für den Amiga 2000?

    Finde bis jetzt im Netz nichts passendes und allgemein sehr wenig darüber.

  11. RPROM: 7-fold Kickstart switch now available in store

    RPROM, developed by Niklas Ekström and Per Bengtsson, is a ROM emulator for the Amiga 500, 600 and 2000 models based on the RP2350B microcontroller. For those who don’t want to solder it themselves, RPROM is now also available as a ready-made product at the title link.

  13. Heute noch drei Amiga-Spiele reingekommen und einen kleine alten seriellen Joystick, ich denke jetzt wird es das letzte gewesen sein, am Samstag kam noch ein Amiga-Joystick rein in original Verpackung.

    Die Spiele hier sind alle komplett und mit 3,5" Diskette als Datenträger.

  15. Testing my BlueSCSIv2 with obscure Amiga hardware - this is the Masoboshi MasterCard MC-702, a combined SCSI and IDE controller for the Amiga 2000 from 1992 or thereabouts. I'm trying to get this to play nice with N2630 accelerator card I recently built. In theory I guess it should be ok to run the lide.device IDE driver on the N2630 along the MASOBOSHI.device driver from this card, but I'm running into a few snags. Some games installed on the BlueSCSI won't run, but I can store stuff and run simple programs. At this point I'm not sure if what I'm seeing is the MC-702 having issues with the BlueSCSI, or trouble on the Amiga side of things. Next up is to try out what I really want to use the BlueSCSI for in this setup - CD images and transferring files to the system via the SD card. #Amiga #amiga2000 #retrocomputing #BlueSCSI
