Hello from Australia

Good idea, I think you can remove those batteries with some tin snips if you don't have a soldering iron.

The A520 is fine, that's the modulator I would have given you if you didn't have one yourself. They can actually be modified to have S-Video output on them if you're an electronics wiz.

Are there any RAM sticks on your A2091 card? You should be able to fit up to 8MB RAM on there.

2 Meg max on the 2091.

welcome aboard mate:)

[Cammy]

Only 2MB on that one? Damn, that's not so good.

Welcome to Amiga.org.au...!
Soz got carried away there; Amiga.org.
Ive got a 2000 too.  If the A2000 battery is original it probably is best to remove it. It will be NiCad.

As to what you might want to do additionally, one option is getting a Buddah IDE Card.
And the best way to get more RAM is the 32Bit variety on an Accelerator.

It depends on what you want to use the beasty for.

BTW: I think I've got a spare 1GB Quantum SCSI around the place for your A2091.

I'm up in sunny Melbourne.

PS. You can ignore Franko, he obviously doesnt realise that as most of the world's land mass is in the northern hemisphere that means it must be the lower half of the world.
Franko, have a read of this and you'll realise how brainwashed you've been.  http://flourish.org/upsidedownmap/

ACAR fan, yes or no?

Yes, I scanned over 10000 pages in on a flatbed scanner, so I probably qualify :-) http://www.racevb6.com/acar/

Who would you like to stab most, andy farrell or gareth powell?

Was there some scandal I never heard about...!? maybe Phil Campbell, his reviews were always crap...

yes, I have all your scans.. if I had access to my collection back home in aus, I could fill in your missing gaps. but me in one country, and my collection back at mums house in another == no go.

also have all the hint sheets from the realm and all the hint books that were published.. heck a whole bunch of those hint sheets were written by me

I have a couple here, two of the books;

[Minuous]

Wow, the legendary ACAR Realm Hint Books!

I'd love to get these scanned in and made available somehow! I don't suppose you'd consider scanning them in, or lending them to me temporarily so I can do so? The same applies for the hint sheets, I already typed up all the ones I have but that's only 6 of them unfortunately :-(

these two are the only two I have here in the usa with me. The rest are back in aus Me mum would have no idea where they are or what I was talking about if I asked after them. something rings a bell that there is or was a third hint book but I dont recall...

I think I have all the hint sheets, tonnes of them. There are heaps. I think he cycled some in and out so not all the same were available at the same time. (back in aus tho).

I do have another random aussie hintbook 'what, another adventure' by phylidia fitzgerald from the age and some canberra times newspaper.

Yep, Hi from Sunny (today anyway, but still cold) Melbourne VIC.

I have numerous Amigas (still) - 2 x 1200 towers, both have 1230 accels in them, 2 or 3 500's, one towerised with an old GVP 68030 and SCSI hard drive and a very VERY old Amiga 2000 with the battery replaced some years ago.

I had an old A500 years and years ago with a Supra Turbo 28mhz which I sold and an Amiga 1000 which I also sold. Wish I'd have hung onto them.

Also have Amiga forever and a mountain of old Amiga stuff a friend gave me when he closed up his shop stored away in my back room

Call me a horder, I just can't get rid of it. Is strange.

I'm in the process of scanning Amiga Format, you must of had plenty of patience, but a big thank you for preserving that.  I've got some few issues of ACAR and will take a look to see if I've got any of the missing ones if you like?
 
I've scanned one issue and on a A3 scanner it took about 10 minutes to do the scans, so I understand the work that must of gone into scanning so many issues!  Once again thanks!  Perhaps you should look at putting them on DVD as I would certainly buy it :-)

Will you look at all the Aussies crawling out of the woodwork...scary :lol:

Oh and yeah...welcome to the org...
