Nice work! Makes me want to get a desktop Amiga alongside my computer-in-keyboard ones.

I take that the KCS has ISA slots. Would Windoze be faster if you got a i.e. Tseng ET-3000 VGA card for it?

@r0jaws: Having recently acquired an A2000 myself (unexpanded, 3.1 ROMS and CD-ROM), it's been very interesting to follow your ongoing adventures with yours.

I've a Buddha Flash coming in the mail to get a HD installed and the CD-ROM connected. At some point I hope to get some kind of accelerator, an RTG card and more RAM into it.

Before anything, I have to open it up and dismantle it to see the battery, etc. Is that replacement coin battery that you installed into yours, rechargeable?

r0jaws: What is you current fast mem setup? Is it 4 MB from A2620 and 2 MB (4?) from GVP? Looking at your pic of the A2620, it seems to have only half of the ZIPs populated, which would mean you'd have only 2 MB on the A2620.
