A2000 HD Options...
« on: May 05, 2018, 04:45:28 AM »
I was wondering.... did the stock A2000 HD come with any SCSI controller other than the A2090/A2091? Did C< ever offer custom A2000 HD hardware configs at time of purchase? Could you even buy directly from C< back in the day? How about C< dealers? Did they offer "at time of purchase" custom upgrades? Anyone got any cool purchase or ordering stories from back in the heyday? :)

I looked up the specs on the Tekmagic 2060.... wow, that was speedy even for today's standards! What year did those come out? Supported burst RAM access and 10MB/Sec transfer rate! Bet that cost a pretty penny when new. That's a shame that it borked on you. I wonder how many of those are still around since that didn't fit correctly? Looked like a very configurable board with many RAM options.

I remember wanting an A2000HD with a bridge board so bad back in the late 80's. Too pricey! IIRC, looking in Computes! Gazette back in the day JUST a 5M/B HDD was $700.00 added to the price.  :o
