High density floppydrive on A2000?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

@Thomas - I thought they were spun at half the rate because of the Paula, not Agnus?

OP - AFAIK an Amiga high density floppy will be "plug-and-play" on an A2000.  Probably needs 3.1, but I think you've got that covered already.  Other companies made high density floppy drives for Amiga's back in the day (Applied Engineering comes to mind), but those drives did require a software patch and you couldn't boot off them (that's just from memory).

Edit - just googled up this thread:  http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=55344   Lot of information here.

What is not true? Because I can't see what this relates to in my post.

Geeze Louise you guys, I know it's only Monday and all, but:

AFAIK the A2000 motherboard can only generate the drive ID for a 880k disk

this is not true, any Amiga from a500 to 4000t with  at least 2x rom and paula will work for high density drives including  the 2000.

What you quoted of mine was right and mechys response is irrelevant.

All right dude, somebody needs to take a chill-pill.

Also, this has gotten way off course from OP's original question, which was "can an A2000 use a high density drive?" -- I think that's been answered -- "Yes, it can, under certain conditions".  LOL.

In my defence I edited the post to make it less aggressive.

Much better.  It was starting to sound like some of those Facebook Amiga groups, for a minute there.  :laughing:
