I'm an idiot.
« on: July 07, 2009, 12:44:15 AM »
Hi everyone, I'm new at this Amiga thing. I thought I was experienced (had an Amiga 500 almost 20 years ago.)

Well, now I have an Amiga 2000, and I'm finding out that there is more to these things than inserting a floppy disk and playing.

I was curious as to what the latest OS I could run would be, it would need to be on floppys, and info on where I can buy it. I have Workbench 1.3, and it seems very limited. And I screwed up my HD boot disk this morning trying to make a back-up (read the title of this post).
I really want to be able to transfer between PC and Amiga, but from what I read my SCSI card and HD are weak at best.
The unit is a bone stock A2000 with an A2090 disk controller and only 20MB HD.
Is it worth getting a new boot disk? I don't need anything on there. Is there anywhere to get controllers and drives, other than Ebay?

Any help would be appreciated, and I'm sure I'll be asking more questions once I get my null modem cable.
And thanks to those who have already helped me out.

Wow, thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm going to find out what Kickstart ROM I have, and start from there. Too many choices. Thanks again.
