I barely remember them, but unfortunately I can't help.

Looking at the descriptions, you may have trouble if the BattDisk is fully populated with 8 megs of ram since the 2000 only has 8MB of space to configure everything in.

I doubt that one needs drivers and it's probably rare to have all 8MB installed on it.

I wouldn't tinker with the jumpers much, assume they are correct for the last time it was used.

This page has a list of jumper settings: http://www.amiga-hardware.com/showhardware.cgi?HARDID=747

You might make sure it is jumpered for autoboot since you have a newer kickstart.

If it doesn't show up as a drive on the Workbench, you'll have to find out the device name using scout or sysinfo or something and then try using HDToolBox to set it up like a hard drive.

Pretty much the same for the IDE card, see if the disk has a device name, then use HDToolbox to partition it.

I would try just one at a time, sometimes bad cards can make other cards not show up correctly.

Good luck.

You're looking at the Amiga's Kickstart ROM version, not the ROM version on the AccessX.
