For an '060 in an A2000, you have three choices:
Exhibit A: The DKB WildFire
This is what dreams are made of! The WildFire supports 128MB FastRAM, has a Fast SCSI II controller on-board
and has on-board Ethernet, which DMAs directly into the 32-bit RAM on the card! (Nothing else does this). It even has some (albeit custom) PCI slots on for installing the
DKB Inferno graphics board. I worship at the shrine of this card and would love to see one in the flesh. Sadly, to this day, I'm only aware of the existence of one...
Exhibit B: Phase 5 Blizzard 2060
Phase 5 are renowned in the Amiga world for making top notch pieces of hardware and the Blizzard 2060 is no exception. It comes with the usual support for 128MB FastRAM and a Fast SCSI II interface, but you don't get the extra bells and whistles that the WildFire has. Still, it's a damn fine card and it's not unreasonable that you might be able to get a hold of one.
Exhibit C: GVP TekMagic 2060
GVP are also renowned for quality pieces of hardware and by the time they came to the TekMagic, they'd finally learned that nobody likes their daft custom 64pin SIMMs! The TekMagic can still take up to four 16MB GVP SIMMs for 64MB FastRAM, but can alternatively take up to four 32MB standard 72pin SIMMs. (Although you can't use both at once). Again, you'll find a Fast SCSI II interface, but no fancy extras like the WildFire. I'm led to believe there was a recent production re-run of these cards by GVP-m, so there are a few of them floating about for purchase if you know where to look.
In summary:
The WildFire wins hands-down, but good luck ever finding one (and if you do, I want
lots of hardware pr0n!), so realistically, you're looking at the Blizzard or the TekMagic. It's hard to tell the two apart, both are from trusted and reliable manufacturers with a solid history of making good hardware. Both have pretty much identical specs, too. Personally, I'd go with whichever turned up first at a price I was prepared to pay.
Good hunting!
