My A2K has flatlined... Can WinUAE save the day again?

[RedWarrior]

After several years of neglect and storage in a ####roach infested cardboard box in a shed by the sea, my Amiga 2000 doesn't seem to be responding anymore.

The first power-up made all the right noises, the black- grey- white boot seemed fine... even the hdd light was ticking... then everything stopped quite abruptly and I think she's dead.

I've had great success with WinUAE before, when backing up & transferring data to an IDE drive... but this is a SCSI drive.  Will WinUAE find it? (not at my main base so I can't test this to find out)

I only want to recover the data to put on my new a600... other than that I think this machine is now "parts only".

Speaking of which, there is a decent flicker-fixer card in this thing which I've seen go for around $200! Would there be any interest in any of these parts?

2 meg ram, motherboard (probably fried), SCSI card and SCSI Tape backup drive... other bits n chips...

anyway- WinUAE- SCSI drive... possible??

thanks!!

why is there a censorship script running on these posts?? we're all grown-ups!

It's really infuriating to be so patronised by a mindless script...  the offense caused by this cendorship far outweighs any offense that a swear word could create!!

Cmon Amiga.org...  please don't turn into a bureaucratic IRC channel.

I'll try pulling it apart one last time, but after that if anyone wants a dead Amiga2000 with flickerfixer card and scsi tape-drive, you can find it in the dumpster at the back of my apartment building!

(is the flicker-fixer worth anything on ebay?)
