Amiga 600 ROM chip in an Amiga 2000
« on: July 24, 2004, 01:38:33 PM »
Hi there Amiga fans,

I was wondering about using a ROM chip from one of my Amiga 600's in my Amiga 2000. Does anyone here know if this could cause problems. It seems to be running fine, but of course that is by no means an indicator of whether any damage is happening. I know the Amiga 600 version of the ROM has instructions for PCMCIA slot and the IDE interface, of which the Amiga 2000 has neither, but I'm hoping this wont cause any problems. Can anyone offer any advice on this?

Hiddy ho,

Thanks for the reply. :-)
I was pretty sure it would be okay, since the 2000 has been running for a few days now without issue, but I wanted to run it by someone more knowledgable with Amiga hardware than I.

I've checked the pinouts on the A600 KS chip and the pinouts on the 2000 end and they seem to match up fine. If I can believe the pinout diagrams I Googled for. :-)
I was mostly concerned about the IDE and PCMCIA, or rather the lack of on the 2000 end, but it seems to be running well. So far.
