Welcome back :-)

It's a bit odd that the Kickstart screen says you have a 3.0 ROM, as that version was never available for the A2000. You sure it's not a 4000 you have?

Well, regardless, the first step is to get yourself a hard drive and some Workbench version 3 disks. You should also take a full inventory of everything in the machine, such as any expansion cards, and chip revisions, if it's not too difficult.

Don't hesitate to ask if you've got more questions!

Ah. 1200 makes sense for 3.0 ROMs.

The fact that you're getting the Kickstart screen means that the hard drive is either A) Broken, B) Blank, or C) Not connected. You'll probably want to get a slightly larger one anyway. You'll need a full set of WB disks (6) to prep and install it easily.

Other investments you may want to consider are Workbench/Kickstart 3.1 and an accelerator.

Have fun :-)
