btw, if there's any possible way to update the VA2000 without having to take the miggy apart it would be greatly appreciated ;-)
You can upgrade the VA2000 firmware without unplugging it. Just leave the USB cable always connected to VA2000, going out from an open slot in the behind of the Amiga case. Turn on the Amiga and keep pressing both mouse buttons until you get the early-boot-menu. From there, connect the USB to your laptop and upgrade. When the upgrade is completed, unplug the USB cable from the PC, hard reset the Amiga (power off/on) and upgrade the drivers.
>>DO NOT SHORT THE JUMPER ON VA2000 when it's inside the Amiga / connected to zorro slot << The jumper is only needed to power the VA2000 via USB, when upgrading firmware and there is no other power source. Shorting it with VA2000 plugged in will send extraneous voltages to zorro BUS, other Amiga components and might damage your beloved Amiga.
I'm using this method from firmware revision 1.4 and works 100% - recommended also by Lukas (mntmn) on EAB's VA2000 support thread.
