This might seem distasteful to some… But I have a few Amiga 2000’s, and some of them (due to their stock configuration) are not worth selling.

I was toying with the idea of gutting one, and adding a PC mobo and power supply, then adding Windows.  This would give me a clone PC in a 2000 case.  If you were to add Win UAE, you’d be left with an Amiga-alike computer in a 2000’s case that runs the net faster than an Amiga 2000 and cheaper too.

My big issue is that I’d want an authentic feeling 2000, even the keyboard, mouse, and joysticks would have to work.

My understanding is that the forthcoming Catweasel MKIV will let you use your Amiga joysticks, mice, and keyboard in UAE, right?

So with proper cable modification and routing, one could have a truly authentic-looking Amiga.

Any flaws in this plan?

LOL!

So if I understand it, the only issues are:

1. I should not abuse an A2000 by exposing it to an ugly clone mobo

2. I should not waste a new mobo on an ugly A2000

Got it!
