I acquired an A2000 with an A2620 accelerator with 2 mb ram. Anticipating a problem that a lot of my older programs and games are going to choke on it, I'd like to ask if anyone is aware of a 'fix' that allows reverting to the original 68000 on the motherboard? Thanks. Regards Tom (via Whap!)

Tom, Depending on the revision level of the ROM on the 2620, you should either hold down BOTH mouse buttons (all revs at -06 or lower) or just the LEFT mouse button (if the ROM rev is -07) when you are booting the system. This should bring up a menu that should give you the option of booting in 68000 or 68020 mode. It will also have an option to boot Unix (I think), which you probably don't want. Hope this helps…. – BobR
