A2000 to ver 2.04
2 messages in this thread
I have an Amiga 2000 with an A2620 and a (non-auto booting) A2090 hard
disk controller card. I want to upgrade the operating system to 2.04 or 2.1
for compatability with my A3000. The question is this, what version of EPROMS
must the the A2620 and the A2090 have to work correctly with the new operating
system. Also, I have access to an A2091 card, but I'm not sure what ROM
revision it should be, or if I can get it with the drivers and documentation
(this is from the Grapevine Group).
Suggestions? (besides buying an A4000?)
If you want to upgrade your A2000 to AmigaDOS 2.1, you will have to do
the following: Replace the ROMs on your A2620 Board, Replace your
A2090 to an A2091 or any High-Quality SCSI Controller Card… The GVP
4008+ springs to mind, replace the old 1.3 ROM with the 2.05 or
higher ROM. Total cost can be as high as $300-$500. In addition,
you may want to investigate about upgrading some of the custom chips
to ECS status. More than likely you have a Fatter Agnus (1 MB Chip
RAM), but you probably have the Normal Denise. Upgrading to the Super
Denise chip will allow you to work with higher resolutions
(productivity mode) and the ability to control Color 0 when used with
a genlock.
In regards to our software, Scala MultiMedia MM300 will require all of
these upgrades. Hope I was able to answer most of your questions.
Anybody have the exact Commodore part numbers and version numbers?
