Guess you mean somthing like the Shark...

The problem is this though...

You get an A2000... then you put a PCI board in it, on that PCI board you have a Local Bus for a CPU upgrade.

Then you Put a PCI gfx card in it, a new CPU card with 256 Megs of RAM on it, a PCI sound card, a PCI network Card, a PCI IDE card (with a DVD-R/RW and a 120Gig Hd), a PCI USB card with a new Keyboard and a new optical mouse.

Then you have to put a new Power supply in it to handle all this stuff... What are you left with?

A new computer (since the A2K motherboard isn't used for anything) in an Amiga 2000 case...

Keep the A2K as a working museum peice and get a new computer :-)

And you have to admit that it would be fun with PCI-slots in an A2000! ).

Without question!!! :-D


But I have got to the point where I want my Amiga's in their "virginal" state without all the PC bits and bobs hacked on.
I have a PC for the PC stuff :-)
