Hi don't throw out that NTSC motherboard. I'm sure there are lots of people that would take it for the cost of shipping and might be able to revive it (heck, I might even give it a try depending on shipping).
Thanks for the heads up. I plan to keep it as a spare. I am working on getting the battery acid off and removing the battery. I attached some images of what I am dealing with. After seeing some images on Google. It appears that this one is very sever. Almost as bad as the one on CBMFreaks. This is what I get for buying one on e-bay that it was good when it was put away. But I did get a 030/40 Mhz GVP out of it with 8 Megs of Fast Ram, Video Toaster, and 120 Meg Hard Drive out of the deal.
In regards to backing up.
First, I like to thank you
ral-clan for the driver location for the GVP G-Force 030. This was one of my biggest fears.
I do not have a CD Burner (or a CD drive) for that matter in the Amiga 2000HD. I do have a few null modems cables so I was figuring attaching the amiga to a PC and using a term program.
In regards to one big LHA, I can't really do that. I have 35 Megs free on the 120 Meg drive. So, I got to figure I am going to have to do it bunches. However, after going through it. I found the directories that have the Amiga Toasters extras (stuff the previous only left on). I'll back them up, such as the animations, so I can test them out on a new install. Since I saw that a fresh install is probably the way to go for the toaster software, I will probably obtain the disks from e-bay or another source. This is a first generation video toaster (not a 2.0 or a 4000 one). So, I hope the software won't be 'that many' disks.
I hear you about the LHA and keeping file properties. I will deferentially use LHA for archiving the backups.
Thank you all for the responses. This gets me thinking about getting an External SCSI CD drive.
