Trading A2000 Accelerator
« on: November 26, 2005, 08:08:36 PM »
I have a GVP 030/40mhz Accelerator for Amiga 2000. It's the all in one that has the SCSI and HDD Mount. It has 8mb ram on it. I'm basically looking to swap it for an accelerator WITHOUT the SCSI Option as I already have a nice Controller card in my A2000 which is all set up and working nicely.

Strange request I know but if you have an 030 card and want to swap then just let me know!

I did try transferring my existing drive over to it and all I got were constant 'software error' crashes. The thing works fine with the spare 120mb drive I have but I can't get it to work with the 3GB one. Plus, the combo takes one of the PSU power plugs in such a way that the cable will no longer reach to the CD-Rom drive. These are hassles that I just can't be bothered to fix.

Basically, I like my A2000 the way it is and just want to slip in an accelartor and be done with it.

If there's no interest here in a trade then i guess I will throw it on Ebay and use the cash to buy an accelarator at a later date.

It's revision 4. The chip on it says 4.5.

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. Rather than disable 50% of the cards functionality or spend hours trying to figure out why it doesn't like my 3GB drive, I'm going to put it up on Ebay. Since I got my mac, I'm just used to stuff working with the minimum of fuss. I'm just an impatient old codger these days.  Besides, I could use the $100 or so I paid for it right now. Too many Christmas presents to buy!

Thanks again for all the helpful advice! This is a great community.
