OS 1.3 sysinfo
« on: May 01, 2010, 11:06:23 AM »
Hi All,

After about 13 years away from the Amiga I've just bought myself an old A2000HD to play with. The guy I bought it off knew nothing about the spec, from looking inside I think it may have been upgraded.

Is there a tool or util in workbench that I can use to check the system spec, something like sysinfo maybe? If so, where can find it?

I know it has 4 meg fast ram from the workbench screen and perfmon states a 68020 which I know isnt standard for an A2000 so I'm intreaged!!!

I cant believe how quick WB boots from the HD, takes about 10 seconds!!

Thanks

Thanks for all your suggestions. Im going to try sysinfo tonight but Im guessing it has a commodore 2620 installed with a 68020 cpu and 4MB of ram.

In the future I'd like to upgrade the Amiga to 3.1 roms from the current 1.3, am I right in thinking the 2620 could cause a conflict? I'm sure I read this somewhere??

I think its the 2500 that I have although the badge states Amiga 2000HD. I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that the A2500's were never labelled as such??

I guess its possible the previous owner just upgraded it...Tonight will be the first chance I get to have a proper butchers on the inside so will have a look and check board numbers etc.

Took a look inside and I actually have an A2630!!! with 68030, FPU and 2MB of ram. Also the scsi card is the A2091 which has a standard 3.5" IDE attached too it, this also has 2Mb ram onboard.
Very pleased as I thought I was just buying a bog standard A2000.
