I just put my extra set of 2.0 disks on Ebay. Currently at minimum bid of 99 cents.

A2500 owned since 1993 with A2630/DKB 2632, DKB Megachip, GVP EGS Spectrum, A2320 and GVP HC+8 on the inside and a DCTV on the outside. A4000D with CSPPC, Cybervision 64 and a Flicker Magic flicker fixer. A4000T Toaster Flyer & CSMKII. All systems completly retro and classic and mostly used to do geometic art as in my avatar.

The disks I'm listing are original OS 2.04 disks from an Amiga 2500. I think the only difference between OS 2.0 and 2.04 is just a few bug fixes. Almost all the OS2 disks out there are 2.04. The next major upgrade was OS2.1. That would also be compatible with your system. You would need a 3.1 rom if you wanted to install OS3.1 or later.

Amigas are a lot simpler and more tolerant and flexible than PCs. If you had copied all the files in your system partition to a folder on another partition, you could simply boot from a floppy and delete the corrupt files on your system partition and drag and copy the files from the backup folder to your system partition and reboot and everything would be as before. This is my Amiga backup system.
