;-) I suspect the seller is just guessing regarding AGA.  At any rate, the edge connector is not Zorro.  It MAY fit in the A2000's video slot, or not.

yeh, probably just some sort of FF for the a2000 I think.

A quick look on amiga-hardware.com and  amiga.resource.cx returned no results :-?

Hmm...?

How about this?

I got just such a board... it's an "Advanced Grafik Adapter" there of the name AGA. It has nothing to do with AGA as we know it from A1200/4000. It connects to the GFX port on the A2000.

True. It appears to be a Microway AGA-2000 Flicker Fixer for the A2000's Video Slot. Narrowing it down further, the 2000E version of the card, labeled "AGA 1390 EXPORT":



Microway Flicker Fixer AGA 2000 I recall when advertisments for this product appeared, thinking that the AGA designation could cause confusion. Most Display-Enhanser cards for the A2000 (mimicing the A3000's Amber chip) only handle the upper 12 registers pertaining to a HAM6 display, thus will not display more than a 4096 colour (HAM) display.... e.g. NOT an Amiga AGA (HAM8 - 262,144 Colour) display mode, but a Scan-Doubled (&FF) OCS-EGS display.
