Amiga stuff for sale on eBay !

Doomie has shown himself to regularly be highly overreactive in situations like this, and I personally find the seller's arguments quite feasible.  Note, I am NOT saying who's right here.  

However, the Big Book of Amiga Hardware states that KS 2.04 and ECS did not start until motherboard revision 6.3;  The one in question was 6.2 and the Kickstart was one of Doommasters biggest complaints.  ECS and KS2.04 were introduced together, so if the guy said the motherboard doesn't have the ECS Denise(and he did), why would it automatically come with KS 2.04??

Sounds like Doommaster got some factual information wrong, and then attacked this guy.

@Doommaster

Okay, then someone should contact the big book of amiga hardware and tell them their info. is wrong.

EDIT --
Someone should contact these people too..

EDIT--
WOW!!! It's a whole party of people who apparently (according to Doommaster) have their technical info wrong on motherboard revisions of the A2000

Wait a minute...here's another one!!!

DoomMaster, you called this man a thief!!!! Because your motherboard didn't come with Kickstart 2.04, are you quite certain that ALL of these different hardware sites are wrong??  BTW They do concur with your point about the 1 meg Agnus, however, they do still say that there was no ECS Denise, and NO KS 2.04 until revision 6.3

I sure am glad we have such an A2000 expert on board to help us considering every site we have for technical information is wrong.

@Amigamad

you would definitely be correct in this.  The thing is, all of the 6.X revision motherboards were being geared to run ECS.  But this was not fully implemented until revision 6.3

6.2 removed the ROM tower, and cleared up some bus noise issues, and sported a 1 Meg Agnus, but it did not have KS 2.04, or ECS Denise(which isn't being contested) these things were added in 6.3

@Amigamad

I missed the '+' sign. (Thanks Punk guy)

BTW, you're aware that the A1500 (not plus) is a rebadged A2000 using extremely late motherboard revisions right? (Apparently post 6.2)  All of the A1500's were ECS
 :-D

To quote the big book of Amiga hardware...

" The A1500 only ever used the newer A2000 motherboards which contained the ECS Chipset and Kickstart 2.04. "

I love you guys.   :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D


(Wow, never thought I'd post something like that on a DoomMaster thread)
