Title: Should I cry? Amiga 2000CR V4.0 Motherboard
Post by: Baigomax on January 13, 2019, 07:27:41 PM
Hello to everyone!
I bought my very first Amiga " B2000CR V4 Haynil/Fisher " and I'm having problems to understand if this revision is good or burned money... what is capable to do?
I was taking a look around and for what I understood, this version was never released due a problems... how is it possible?

Thank you in advance,
Baigomax

i know there were some timing issues with the board and was fixed in a later revision , any good Amiga Tech can fix it easily. Service Bulletin C3-1.17 lists all the changes required required to update to rev. 4.4

If it truly is rare and shouldn't exist in the public domain then you should be crying tears of joy!  :'( :'( :'(  :) :) :)

I think that it actually says "HAYNIE" and it's just a problem with indistinct lighting or poor printing.  Seeing as Dave Haynie was a hardware guy for Amiga through that period.
As mine isn't handy to open up at the moment, see https://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/commodore-amiga-2000-teardown/86/ (https://www.techrepublic.com/pictures/commodore-amiga-2000-teardown/86/) for pictures of the next revision's label.
