super denise into a rev 4.3 A2000?

[TheBilgeRat]

OK?  Not doable? Worth the time?

You have 1mb of Chip RAM and a Fat Agnus installed? Should be no problem. And no, probably not worth the hassle unless you want to use one of those funky screen modes are play the occasional game that takes advantage of it.

Without taking my 2000 apart, can anyone tell me how to tell what revision it is? Its a machine with I think 1.2 roms so I'm guessing its a pretty early motherboard.
 
I would also like to put a super denise in my 2000.

I for sure has the Fat Agnus, i don't remember how much chip I have.  I'll have to run sysinfo later.  They're like 30 bucks on fleabay, thought it looked like a fun quick project.  i know there's some expansion ram on the scsi controller.

Probably better off just grabbing an Indivision ECS (which gives your machine SuperDenise capabilities as well as a scandoubler/flickerfixer.)

Unless of course you already have an A2320.  Those are pretty decent.

Do you have a copy of Sysinfo laying around?

Ahh- se I was wanting to get one of those, so probably better to save the dough for the indivision.

I did read that the Indivision has a Denise built in but I thought it was a regular one. Also if it has the Denise why would it need a Denise plugged in to the Indivision board?

BTW, I have tried a Super Denise in a 4.3 and works just fine

If it's got a composite video output it's at least 4.1 (=upgradable to ECS). 4.0 w/o composite has the A1000's DIP Agnus which isn't upgradable. (Well, not easily.)

A Hires Denise works with an OCS Agnus as well, but doesn't over any improvements.

The Indy board still needs a Denise plugged on top for fallback reasons.
