My new Amiga 2000

hello all :-)

here is my new toy, a rev 6 (6.4 i think) Amiga 2000 with twin floppy drives.
Even though the Amiga had been opened before (seal broke) i can easily image that that was to fit the hard drive and no ones been in since!

The dust was so thick and untouched that i can image its been there since 1992.

Anyway first job was to strip the machine , check & remove the battery and see what if any damage or horrors await me!! ...well actually NONE! the batter held a charge 3.24v and had not leaked, no was it even starting to. Amazing anyway its out now and sat on my table.

The machine has the following spec and apart from being really filthy, its in brilliant , undamaged or molested condition.

Spec.
1mb chip ram
1mb fast ram
68000 cpu
Rev 6.4 mobs
Kickstart adaptor (presumably 1.3 & 2.04)
SCSI HD8 GVP card and a scsi hard drive (don't know how big yet)
2x floppy
keyboard and the wrong mouse (male fitting??)


Over all I'm very pleased. it really does look like new inside, i don't think anyone has been in it except to fit the hdd and it was cheap too.

Oh and i forgot to say , it appears to be a Commodore UK machine :-)

That's a magnificent beast!

Love the dust - you have certainly saved this old thing!

While it wasn't looking I've slipped 4mb in the GVP card :-)

The two Simms that were originally fitted are odd in that they are slightly shorter than usual 30pin SIMM and have no hole at the end for the clips..
Also they were so tight in the SIMM socket that I had to almost force them out, the leading edge contacts are huge solder blobs not the normal contacts pads that you would expect. Anyway they are out now. One of the pads has fallen off actually but I can't say I'm bothered, they will never be fitted again.

4 x 1mb Simms in now.

hi mate i have a 2000/1500 no label on front with a hc8+ too

You need a terminator you can plug into the other external connection of the CD.

My first bigbox Miggy was a 2000HD with a 40mb hard disc on a 2091 controller.

It's a lovely machine and a lot less hassle than my 4000D.

Dave G :cool:

With a terminator can just plug it in to the scsi port of the controller to terminat the connection with needing to move jumpers?
