a2000 retro hardware questions

[glitch]

What do you need tp get your A3000 going?  I've got Toaster v4.1d disks here if you're interested.

The 3000 should still boot with the on-board '030 and just the socketed CHIP ram... or is this an old "soft-kick 2.0x" type machine?  Maybe you could plug that stuff in to see if the A3000 is even worth resurrecting at all!

GOOD LUCK!

There is ZIP RAM on the right side of the riser board - that is the "FAST" RAM, and on the left side there should be the "CHIP" RAM in a DIP style (not ZIP) package - by the edge of the board - is there not?

IT'S ALIVE!!!

I'm sure you can find ZIPs around the 'net somewhere.  Was your '040 board a PP&S Mercury, a CBM 3640 or other?

That's good news.  Another Amiga back in action!

You may have to trim off some metal on the top/front of the A2000 drive if you plan on stuffing it in the A3000.  Of course, if it's not going in the original case, then you don't have to worry about that!
