ok hang on, whats the current situation?

you take the A2091 out of the A2000 and it boots off of floppy just fine, even with the vlab motion installed?

it shouldn't matter what zorro slots either card is plugged into.

the Vlab motion iirc uses IDE drives for recording and playback, but may require a firmware upgrade to be able to support drives bigger than 8Gb.

forget about plugging scsi into the vlab card. for t'was never ment to be! :-D

my first step would be to strip the A2000 down to bear minimum and see if it powers on. then add parts back in to see what part stops the machine from working.

if your A2091 has gone pop, then i'd sit on amibay/ebay/whatever till you spot another one, or GVP, or supra or some such. maybe even an accelerator with onboard scsi  :-) i saw a fusion40 and blizzard2060 on ebay not so long ago, so they are out there...

A500, A600, A1200x3, A2000, A3000, A4000 & a CD32.
and probably just like the rest of you, crates full of related "treasure" for the above XD
