I saw the option of low-level format in httoolbox on the A2091 install disk. I"m assuming that process will map out bad blocks automatically if I select it?
I'm assuming the prog on aminet you listed does the same? If yes, I'll give it a shot. The smarter thing for me to do would be to buy the SCSI2SD which I'm going to end up doing.
I have KS 2.x roms I *think*, just not installed.
I'm in the process of restoring an A2000 I bought off of Amibay. It is a Revision 6.3 motherboard with 1MB chip ram and ECS chipset (one of the later ones). It is actually labeled A2500 on the front. It has a C= 2630 and C= 2091. I've bought some 7.0 ROMS for the 2091 (so I can use drives >1GB) and I am using an ACard SCSI to IDE adapter. I works fine.
It also came with a Microway Flicker Fixer (which works pretty well) and a Firecracker 24bit card. I didn't test that yet. I had an Emplant card and I installed that too (but it's not set up yet).
First thing I did was remove the battery (there was small leakage). Nothing was damaged. I cleaned up the area and ordered a coin-type holder which I will install when it arrives from AmigaKit.
Anyway, having fun with it! Also some guy on
http://www.a1k.org has made a new A2000 motherboard and is assembling it. Also another guy on Amibay as well. Two independent projects for a new A2000 motherboard!
Anyway I like the A2000 for the room and I like the keyboard and mouse ports at the front
I also ordered a Prisma music card (Zorro II) for the A2000! Looking forward to trying that out.
