I agree with Jope. Opening a 'new to you' Amiga for the first time is much like opening a present on Christmas morning. The Showconfig program might help out too if you're not sure what you're looking at. Oh and please be sure to let us know what all you have inside those puppies! Kickstart, mobo revision, MegaChip, Toaster, misc. cards, etc.

6.5mobo... than you likely have 2.xx Kickstart roms or maybe even 3.xx.

Is there anything in the video slot... to the right of the power supply? Might have a Microway FF/SD in there  :-)

Generally speaking, any FF/SD is desirable on an Amiga. Especially those that find it difficult to land working 1080's or 1084's.

The Microway FF/SD *IS* kinda crappy though. Noisy, doesn't handle PAL well, etc. But I've got a Fitty dollar bill if you'd like to part with it ever. Chicago is not too far away from me...

When I called Microway, circa 1989, I asked them if it worked with PAL and they said "No.  It is not compatible with PAL" so I said "Well, it is quite useless then."


LOL! Good answer. I would have felt the same way. BUT... back then, NTSC software really was more prevalent than it seems it is today. Either that, or we're spoiled now by all the great Euro software that came out in the early 90's+.
