You'll be able to run a lot, but not everything (some WHDLoad installs require a 68010 or better). Adding another meg of Chip RAM to the trapdoor will help, too.

It will be hard on just 2MB RAM and just a 68000 but it can be done. Might be possible to overclock the CPU but not certain on that.


No use overclocking the CPU. It's not the speed of the newer 680x0 chips that's important, it's the VBR found in the 68010 and higher. A lot of installs make use of it.

Thank you all!
I have always think that the A600 would be a good games machine using whdload. I am happy to found it again!
I will try to upgrade to rom 3.1 too.
The only thing that I must to find a solution is the monitor problem: I not longer have one, and the CD32 runs well with Svideo and a sinth card to a VGA monitor, but with the A600 (pal-b) it's different. Maybe I will give a chance to my LCD TV and see what happens.

Regards

Guillermo.


Yep, you should be able to connect to a TV through the composite video port, but the picture quality won't be very good. There are a few internal mods to get SVideo out of an A600 - DJBase here at Amiga.org makes one such board. There's another fellow here, whose name escapes me at the moment, who makes an external card that plugs into the RGB port that provides SVideo.
