Excellent news.  Enjoy ClassicWB, it is the only Workbench installation I used across all of my machines (Amigas, Minimig, Chameleon64, FPGA Arcade).

Have you located the WHDload game packs yet and installed them?  It is easier to do using UAE to write to your CF Card.  If you have issues regarded what ROM images to install, what they should be called and where they need to go then PM me.

hmmmmm

congrats on the 2000..  mine is working fine other than some kind of protection bit bug - peopl eon here are helpig with that - big THANKS

so

i think an earlier post here might answer another question.  i'm trying to get an accelerator card for the 2k and am wondering if my gvp 8 mb card will still be useful and if my 2091 will have to be kicked out if the acclerator has scsi on it...

and lordy what id give to get rid of flicker.


You shouldn't have a problem with still using the RAM on the GVP 8 card with the CPU card.

I've used the RAM on my A2091 and an 8MB Zorro RAM card (but not at the same time due to the 8MB Zorro limit) along with my CPU.

If you get a CPU card (and there's a few on eBay at the moment) you should see the Fast RAM broken up into CPU RAM+GVP RAM.  The CPU card RAM will be used by the system first and it will use the slower GVP RAM as a last resort.

If your CPU card has SCSI on it then you'll want to kick your A2091 out (unless you want to use the RAM on it).  Mine is up on a shelf covered in dust.

Rather than get a flicker fixer, look for a cheap Zorro RTG card (like a Cybervision).  Most games don't use interlaced screens, so you can use the RTG card to get a nice big Workbench and screens for web browsers or graphics programs.  I have a Cybervision643D in my A2000 and it will give you a very nice looking (and fast) Workbench with ClassicWB.

My 600 can handle the 3.9 classic. However I prefer the 68k version as its smooth as silk.


Does the A600 have a 68000 or 68020?  3.9 needs a 68020+.
