  1. At long last -- my Amiga 2000 has a CPU speed switch!

    ( Fast and Faster )

    A "new" 40MHz 68030/882 accelerator with 8MB 32-bit FAST RAM is slotted in and wired with a switch, there on the front. Base 68000 system has 8MB 16-bit FAST RAM, a respectable fallback for cycle-exact OCS/ECS demos.

  6. All issues resolved. The 40MHz 68030 accelerator is installed and working in the A2000.

    Here's a victory video of Black Lotus' 2019 OCS/ECS Amiga scenedemo 'Eon'. I am unsure if anyone will get the irony of this video, but the spark of that irony is what motivated this CPU upgrade from the Commodore 68020 board I was running before.

  11. Cracked open the Amiga 2000 and am moving from a 14MHz 68020 to a 40MHz 68030, and increasing FAST RAM in both 16-bit Zorro II space and 32-bit extended space.

    The "new" accelerator is a GVP G-Force 030 (Impact A2000-030 Combo Series II) with 8MB 32-bit FAST RAM and 68882 FPU.

    This board has a jumper allowing it to be fully disabled, which I will bring out to a toggle switch (for cycle-exact 68000 scenedemos).

  16. 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.

  21. 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?

  26. 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.

  31. 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.
