Particular A2000
« on: June 22, 2005, 09:20:19 AM »
I am wondering about a particular model of A2000;
here's what a saw: 2x3.5 floppy's, 1x5.25 floppy, bridgeboard with a AMD 80286 CPU (don't recall exactly the speed, 6, 8, or 10 Mhz); as it doesn't have a HDD or HDD controller, I'm pretty sure it has a 1.3 Kick; since it's been some time since I opened it, I don't recall exactly the size of RAM, the versions of Kick and Fat Agnus or the mobo issue; but i'm certain it's a PAL machine, since the owner got it from Swiss
 :-?  :-?
A500, KS 1.3, 1 Mb RAM
A1200, KS 3.0, 2 Mb Chip+8 Mb Fast RAM, 1 Gb CF
Lots of 8-bit computers (:-D me thinks I\'m the only Romanian that owns 3 Acorn BBC\'s - 2 Model B\'s and a Master)
Athlon X2 4200+, 2x1 Gb DDR II, 250+750Gb Seagate Barracuda SATA ...

I'd like to know what issue is the mobo, but probabilly i'll find out when i'll open it up again
 :lol:
And i'd like to know if anybody heard about a 2000 with 2 3.5 floppys AND a bridgeboard
I know there were several "flavours" of 2000, and I want to find out which one is this

Well, the present owner really has no knowledge about miggies (I think he got the 2000 as a present from one of his Swiss friends), and he asked me if it is PC compatible; at first, I said "no", but after I opened it and saw the bridgeboard I changed my opinion;
So it is very probable that I might take it of his hands, to join my 500 and 1200;
He already gave me a 1084S, non-functional, but I think I might be able to repair it;

Btw, he also has a A1010; wadda hell it was needed for, since the 2000 already had 2 internal floppy's?  :-?
