Does anyone remember the A2620 accelerator for the A2000? I just picked one up without a manual. I understand that the board can be booted with either its 68020 or the machine's original 68000 in charge, but have no idea how. Anybody know?

Steve, try holding both mouse buttons down while you boot. You should get a special menu. I think this might have changed in the last rev of the ROMs. Maybe somebody else can fill in. DJ I love my Amiga – Interfaces like Cindy, Kicks butt like Arnold …

Steve, as I recall, just hold down both mouse buttons on boot-up and you'll get a screen displaying your options. "You do trust me, don't you? Of course you do." — "To Play the King" (BBC)

Steve: If the board has older ROMs on it, just hold down both mouse buttons while booting. If it has the lastest set of ROMs, then you'll have to hold down only the right mouse button to get to that menu. The change was made because with the newer versions of the OS holding both buttons gets you to a different bootmenu. Hope this info helps. // -Mike Schiller \X/ AMIGA!

Thanks, Mike. Several folks knew the double-button menu in the OS (I hadn't), but you were the only one to know the right button would select between CPU's. That's 2 new things I learned today…
