Amiga 2000 Accelerators

[trauma_UK]

Hi,

Just got a A2000 and have got most things for it sorted, not bought them yet but there on the list.

Thought I'd have a Cyberstorm graphics board, Algor USB with the Norway ethernet board and a delfina sound card.

Hopefully all the above should work  :-D


Now the problem is, before any of that, I have to put some kind of accellerator board in there, I'm after either 040 or 060 preferably the later but I'm having difficulties finding one. I've found one of either at Software Hut but being in the UK I would rather trace one here.

Next problem is that it will cost around £300 for the 060, yet for a 1200 accelerator I'd be looking at more like £170, I think the answer is no but, with some hacking (never liked the word, scary) could I get one of these to fit, I guess the busses are to different but hopefully somebody can confirm.


Failing that, has anybody got either an 030,040 or 060 accellerator going spare that I could purchase till I have the ££££££'s

 :-?

Yep, just spent a while looking around at www.versalia.de, don't know how I missed all that lot earlier. :huh:

Anyhow, yep, found it. £194.01 for the 060/50/mhz with SCSI adapter, not bad.

Ok, next question...... I have a GVP II +8 in here at the mo, will the blizzard one be better, if not can I get an accellerator without it?


Thanks

OK, that all sounds good to me. I think I'll dump the GVP should help fund the Blizzard a bit as well I suppose.

The A2000 has 1MB of Chip ram anyway so most games should still run even without the extra ram on the GVP, hopefully anyway.


We shall see......

Thanks for your help :-D
