Rev. 4 A2000.....worth buying?
« on: September 16, 2004, 10:48:10 AM »
Ive seen a Rev. 4 A2000 that I am interested in buying but I thought I would ask for opinions here first on whether or not it would be a worthwhile purchase.

As far as I understand it, upgrading this machine would be difficult because it has non-standard processor and graphics slots. Has anyone else ever had an experience with this revision of the A2000?

Many thanks,

Mike

Another thing I noticed was the differnt battery shape (an oblong compared to a barrel). Would this be more difficult to source, and if necessary replace?  :-?

Cheers for the replies people. :-)

@kd7ota

Yeah, thats what I mainly want it for, to play classic games and run classic s/w on it. I have a few other Amigas (see my sig and info), but they are all fairly high spec and I wanted a project I could work on that was not (too) technically advanced. :-)
