Howdy. I was kicking around looking for a 2000. What is the problem with your? the price for the computer and AGNES seem OK. If there is a problem with the motherboard how would I fix it? PS – I am also looking for an accelerator for my A500. Any connections? Stephen Wagner 215-383-0465 (phila, PA)

Sorry for the late reply Stephen, I just got back from a business trip to Germany. My 2000 is haveing either Denise or Agnus difficulties. I am sending off my Agnus to have DKB to have a look see maybe that will fix the problem. I have a 1 MB Agnus I am going to try out but haven't had a chance yet. I always like to be honest with those I sell to so I just wanted to prewarn anyone buying the 2000 that the Tower is in pretty good shape but the 2000 cpu "might" be problematic. I also might be fixed by a $35.00 Denise. Thanks and sorry again about the late reply, Shawn Silent Paw Productions

Update on 2000 sale : * 2000 within BOMAC TOWER (w/extra power supply) This 2000 has a possible problem with its Denise or Agnus but the Tower is fine. This system comes with all manuals, keyboard, and Mouse. BOMAC manual also included with keyboard extender – $300.00 * 2 x 50 MB Quantums (11 – 17ms?) $75.00 (a piece) * Zeus 040/33 MHz with (12MB 60NS RAM). If you read AmigaWorld you know this board blazes. It is THE board for the 2000, especially if you do alot of 3D work. $1100.00 The above items are being sold to generate revenue for our other Amiga projects to include a soon to be released 3000 product. I hate to get rid of this work horse but its yours if you have the cash. All prices do NOT include shipping, handling, or COD fees. I will accept bids that have trade items + cash, but please be serious. No bids of $300 + an Amiga 1000 for the Zeus 🙂 (No Offense intended, I moved up from one to). If interested please note I am in and out of country a lot and hope that you will be patient with my replys 🙂 Thanks all, Shawn Silent Paw Productions

Thank you for your fast reply to my message. I have been over to Germany many times – I have many relatives over there. What business are you in such that you travel so much. Anyway, I have put the A500 to A2000 upgrade on hold for awhile. I am trying conserve some cash and maybe buy an A1200 at AmigaWorld in April. In the mean time I am looking for an accelerator for my 500. I've got an IDE hard drive on the machine and it seems to work OK. An accelerator and an upgrade to 2.xx ROM should hold me for a while longer. I am still interested in the A2000 upgrade, though. the extra slots would come in handy! Regards – Stephen

Hello Stephen, The BOMAC Tower provides more Bays to mount other devices such as harddrives, CD-ROMS, etc. Unfortunatly it does not provide more bus slots. It does however provide an additional power supply to take a load off the CPU's power. If you are interested in a 1200 I have a stock 1200 with a 80MB internal HD, 2MB RAM, AMIGA DOS 3.0, and all DOCS for $500.00 (about a year old). Let me know 🙂 Thanks, Shawn Silent Paw Productions

Hello Stephen, Were you interseted in the Zeus? If so let me know ASAP. I am yet again on travel from Monday evening (31 Jan) to maybe the 10th of Feb or earlier. Looks like I am going back to Germany again. Hmmm, I wonder if the Z3 is cheaper there?? 🙂 Thanks 🙂 Shawn Silent Paw Productions

I will have to catch up with you after your return from Germany. You might have to educate me a bit also. Just what can the Zeus do for my A500? PS – I am wondering what kind of monitor the A1200 takes? If I can find someone to buy my A500 system for a decent price I might just go for the A1200 instead! Stephen Wagner 610-383-0465

A1200s prefer multisync monitors (to display new resolutions) but can use 1084s (to display more colors in the old resolutions). — Dale L. Larson, Intangible Assets Manufacturing — INTERNET:dale@iam.com

Thanks for the info. I'll start saving my pennies.

To really take advantage of all the screen modes the A1200 can offer you need a multisync like the 1960 or 1942 monitors made by commodore. VGA monitors will work also, except they cannot sync down to 15khz scan rate so most if not all games are out or other software that requires this mode.
#130375From: Stephen R. WagnerFeb 4, 1994 7:00 PM
Those kind of monitors cost big bucks! Even a decent VGA monitor costs $350 or more. Oh well, I guess that you get what you pay for. Thanks for the info. The Zeus is a little out of my financial range these days. I am still interested in the A2000 by itself, though. The price is right for that. I should have SOME cash to play with later in the month. I'll drop you a line and see if you still have the machine available. Regards, Stephen.
