George, Being new to the 2000 when it is an orphaned machine (well the parents are dead but its users adopted) is a brave thing to do! The Amiga is a great computer and you will have many fun hours using it. Not about you specific problems….. If you are…
Rocky, Yes and no. I went to the starched wing transition in 88 and have been flying C-12's since then. A tough job but someone had to do it . Before that is was GUNS GUNS GUNS! Got tired of the field though. Uh, about the Porsche…. I can get…

Arthur, I have a similar but not not exact setup as you. 2000 6.0 motherboard and GVP 030 combo. Also the spectrum board. I ran EGS 7.1 and I also found several, unexplained crashes. It had nothing to do with the OS as I was using 3.1. I tried many…

Frederic, Don't use a standard cable. There is a +5 volt line on pin 23 of the A1000 which needs to be found on pin 14 of a standard cable. That is the major difference but there are others. If you need the complete pin outs and the differences let…

Jim, Thanx! Clear, concise instructions. Everything the Amiga was and Commodore wasn't! Added the memory with no hitches. Had to laugh though because intuitive it ain't! My only concern now is the ram chips I had came from my 386 BB. I don't know if they are static ram are…
