Ok, so over the next couple of months, I will be working on 3 -A2000 Units, and more. One is for SaviorX here on the boards, One is for a non-Amibay member (at this time) and one will go back in my Bomac tower.
This thread will feature SaviorX's A2000.
I will physicaly get the unit in on Sunday (if everything goes to plan). Right now it is a dedicated Toaster Unit, But SaviorX will not be using the toaster, so those parts will be put in the Bomac Tower Project.
I don't know the Exact Specs yet, but right now, what I do know is this:
A2500HD unit.
Full 8 megs of ram, '030 board. It has been sitting in storage since 1994, but I did see it fired up and running last sunday, so luckily, if there is battery damage, it hasn't affected the running of the unit.
Plans for the unit:
The unit will go through a complete and documented tear-down. I will be making a video on it also.
The Battery hack will be preformed and new 3.1 roms installed.
The unit will be cleaned through and through, this also means the tedious task of a complete Keyboard scrubbing (boy I am not looking forward to that).
The tape Back-up unit, will be replaced with a SCSI CD rom Drive.
The 250 meg Hard rive will be replaced with a 1 or 5 gig Scsi Drive (what I can find here, and either OS 3.1 or 3.5 will be installed.
I also have some surprises in store for this that SaviourX doesn't know about, but when the parts all come in, by the end he will be very happy indeed.
Durring May, I will be working at least 8 shifts a week to pay for Sunday's "Haul" so, I will be doing it about an Hour a day and updating the thread daily. I hope to have it all finished by June 1, but it could take a bit longer depending on parts etc.
I have the other 2 units either tomorrow or monday also, so either way, everything is about to get busy here.
