Er, neither. I have a ton of Amiga mice since I only use optical. I have a keyboard for each Amiga, plus one I bought in need of repair.

Are you looking for these?

Expect to pay a premium $ price for anything Amiga related, especially here in the USA.  You might try posting what you're looking for over on Amibay, I had some good success doing that there.  You could also try getting an adapter from AmigaKit for the mouse.  Good luck!  :)

@dan & mike...what do you guys feel is a fair price for an A2000HD with no kb or mouse that was booting but won't boot now, because that is what I am receiving tomorrow via ups. I bought it because there was no nice big box 2000's at the time that were cheaper.

I paid $150  incl s&H, but it feels like too much for the unit, more like 100 s&h it should have been I think.

One of the things I spose that got me was the case condition...immaculate.

You need to post an ad for what you're looking for under the "Want to buy" forum.  Registration can be a PITA (there's a lot of threads here already talking about that) but the "want to buy" forum is probably the biggest advantage Amibay has over sites like ebay or Craigslist.  Usually those darned Amiga hoarders have plenty of these items, they just don't come up for sale very often unless you ask, LOL.  ;)

I do have an ad over there... :) I think the reason there are no amiga parts/amigas is because scuzzy has all the remaining stock. I have seen his page. OMG! :)

Is it an otherwise working A2000?  When you say it doesn't boot, is that from the floppy, or a hard drive.  If it boot from a floppy, then $150 is good, $200 should boot from an A2091 and crappy hard drive.  For $250 you can buy my refurbed A2000 with A2091 + 2 MB RAM/1 GB HDD, Indivision ECS, PAMC-2000 14 MHz 68000 w/ 68881 FPU, CDROM, mouse and keyboard [3.1 ROM & WorkBench w/ disks} (you would have to add shipping, but no fees).  

If you just need a mechanical Amiga mouse, I'll give you one free.

Okay, I'll keep that A2000 in mind as soon as wife let's me spend money ;) darn anniversary...lol. Sounds like a nice unit !

Since you have ECS then you'd be able to tell me. I read that you can't use pulldown screens feature when using RTG cards. Does this limitation apply to the ECS as well.

As far as my 2000 hd the guy said it wouldn't boot and he then pulled the HDD cable and it asked for a floppy, worked once and would not do it again. IDK what the deal is until I get it and get a KB and mouse and give it a looksie.

What irks me is NOW that I bought one, there are (supposedly) working ones floating around)

All of the standard Amiga chipsets (OCS, ECS, AGA) support screen dragging, including with the Indivision ECS.  As for video cards... I think that would depend on the card and software used?

Something on Wikipedia mentioned that RTG cards don't do pulldown because of how they work. Dunno if its true or not.

It would hardly be  Retargetable Graphics Board if it didn't "do" WorkBench; the OpalVision is sometimes called RTG by eBay sellers, but they lie. Even the Domino and Retina boards do menus, so WikiPedia is wrong. There were some very expensive Targa boards early on that were rare and seemed hand-built, but like the OpalVision, they were Graphic Output boards and not for RTG.

Yes thats true, you cannot drag the screen down and see other screens behind it like on native chipsets.
