I got my A2000 today... :-)

[pyrre]

Hello people...
I got an A2000 today :-D
And it is in perfect condition... (except for yellowing)

It is the A2000 mention in another tread here...
Don't seem to find it..
It was listed as VERY expensive... (5000NOK, or 858USD)
But after some talking, he agreed to sell it for 257USD. A nice price for that computer. Especially when it comes complete with monitor, joystick, mouse, cables, disks++++


Facts:
- A2000 1986, Germany built REV 4 (kick 1.2)......(!)
- 1MB memory expansion card (only half a meg fitted)
- And a PC emulator 2000
  W/ 5 1/4" flopy drive, HDD drive (dead).
- Old style Western Digital HDD controller ISA...
- Commodore 1084 monitor. (the one with SCART connector)
- Amiga mouse, A2000 keyboard, a joystick and all cables+++
- A s**t load of disks...
- The original books

Questions:
- Where can i get more chips for the memcard (if possible)?
- Does any of you guys have any kickstarts for A2000 (2.04)
  and wanting to sell it?
- What other cool features of the A2000 do you know of?



Edited: found the link in BBoAH

Well....
It is not purchased for expanding it into the heaven...
It is only for the retro feeling of the A2000 I had before...
Maybe I will expand it a little bit...
HD controller, memory or even a turbocard....
Don't know yet...

I got the A1200 with PPC and os 3.9
And an A500 with kick 1.3, for compatibility to games....
so the 2000 is somewhere in between...
if possible I will get network and a picasso....

If i got the manual correct the bridgeboard is capable to transfer network traffic between the amiga and the pc enviroment. enabling network to me... got a lot of the old 3COM etherlink 3 cards laying around....
have to get a HD controller to install the OS to first...
and a kickstart with automount... (2.04 is preferd)
+++

Story is ongoing.... And to be updated....  :-)

on the side i still try to get the BVision to function correct.... After some initial testing it is a hardware related error... but if it is the BVision itself or the PPC card is unknown at the moment....

ISA network cards, who has one these days

I got....  :-D
Four of the steady old 3com etherlink II and III

I'm not the kind who tosses away everything old...
Got lots o boxes full of old computer stuff...  8-)
Even ISA gfx and soundcards...

If anyone knows how to get ISA cards working in amiga...
Please let me know....

Yes, I am from norway....
A2000 is one of the most selling amigas in norway too.
Only to be set aside of the A500. (other amigas have had a great success in norway too.. like the A600...)
(probably A1200 as well)
But they do not grow on trees, and are quite hard to get. and that goes for most amiga equipment in norway...

If you compare prizes including shipping to norway, from.. like US... you don't end up that bad paying 1500NOK for an A2000

I have a bridgeboard in my 2000, and want to use it as much as possible... If i can use it with a network card and some sort of gfx, that would be great.

As far as prices go...
If you compare prizes including shipping to norway, from.. like US... you don't end up that bad paying 1500NOK for an A2000
In nowegian terms 1500 NOK is not much for the whole package...
A2000, monitor, keyboard, mose, a lot of disks +++
It is for us norwegians (at least to me it is) a relatively ok price...
it's not dracula prices...
