New member, first post -- and ancient Amiga owner.
I only recently attempted to revive my old Amiga machines. I've got my original A1000, a 'Toastered' A2000, and my wife's A1200... So far, the A1000 turns on successfully, so does the A1200, but the A2000 just dies immediately after I flipped the power switch. What I really want is all the files (animations, lightwave scenes etc) that lived on my A2000's hard drive. So just today I found an old Syquest SCSI drive AND a cartridge labelled "Amiga Safety". So my question is: if I connect that drive to a Mac running an Amiga emulator, will it 'see' the Amiga cartridge-drive? And if not, what's the best way for me to access Amiga content that's 'marooned' on a Syquest disk?
I was also thinking, maybe I can put the A2000 hard-drive in an external case to see if it still works... but what then?
Lastly, I have a Mac diskimage or ".dmg" of the Amiga Syquest disk. The mac can't read it, just says "no File System found". But does anyone know of a possible method to 'read' that .dmg file?
So many questions... But please be warned: I am a total newb, I know nothing about programming or soldering or hacking or taking computers apart. Dumb it down for me as much as you can. Looking forward to any insights y'all can provide.
