Amiga 2000, What use?
« on: December 26, 2013, 11:05:36 PM »
First off please excuse my ignorance when it comes to the Amigas. I have owned four different models since about 1985. Have been out of the Amiga scene for many years and the brain just does not work like it use to.

I am contemplating getting an A2000 and was wondering just what use is it? I mean with the A1200/600 and A4000, what can you really do with an OCS chipped machine?  No AGA for nice modern screens. Aren't you limited to WB3.1(w/ 3.1 rom)?? I know there were upgrades but most are long since out of production and the old ones sell for a mint.

Is it possible to find IDE upgrades now?? What about graphics?? I have read about the ACA500 and something like that would really fire up my old 500. Anything similar for the A2000??

Sorry for all the questions but trying to re learn.

Thanks for the reply. I thought you couldn't run OS 3.9 without at least AGA. Also are there any current IDE solutions being made? Anything like the ACA500? Sorry for the questions but its been way too long since I looked at an Amiga. Where else other than Ebay can I find IDE solutions??
