My ongoing adventures with my A2000.

OK, Long story short, I got her running again. It was the PSU at fault and in need of some refurbishment, judiciously provided by one of the electricky wizards at work.
I have reposted all the pics below, with what I can remember of the description below.

 
From Top, Omega 68000 Speed Up Board, 2.04 ROM (Now refitted),  Original Agnus Chip (Currently fitted due to diagnostics) & a Real Time Clock Chip.

(Not the fastest, but not really a problem for what I intend for her)

 Seeing your Sysinfo, I noticed you are running without your "accelerator".

 If you want to be on the secure side of things, put some rubber bellow the Agnus.

 It dives into the socket regularly, the rubber prevent it to happen.

 r0jaws, the "accelerator" is not dead, as you can see (it works flawlessly in "original" mode).

 The problem is related with the hack itself (and this board is just a hack).

 Put a true accelerator inside the very nice A2000 you have and use the "accelerator" inside an A500 (or A1000).

 For the problem with the RAM: the A2000 Zorro bus can only manage 8Mb. That's why you can't have more than this.

 To achieve more fast RAM, you need an accelerator with its own RAM and a better processor.

 BTW, for the problem on the 68000 "accelerator" software:

 There is a workaround: copy the whole contents of it to a drawer on one partition, boots the Amiga normally and them run the installation program.

 Problem solved!:banana:
