£ for assistance (commutable Portsmouth UK) installing and setting up Gotek in a2000

SimonCD32 · 31 July 2018, 14:40

Hello

I have an a2000, and a Gotek that needs installing.

I am completely incompetent when it comes to this stuff and I really need assistance in getting it installed and setup.

I want to use it for playing games so would be willing to pay someone a fee to install the gotek for me and then put the games onto a USB drive for me.

I live in Portsmouth (Hampshire, UK) and would be willing to drive it to you and then go off and wait elsewhere.

If there is anyone out there willing to assist a novice in distress then please let me know

Of course I would be willing to pay you for your time and the service.

I dont mind driving a little way either.

Many thanks

Simon

in light of my recent TF238 purchase I have decided that my a2000 is now surplus to requirement and will be offering it for sale shortly.

Hi, any idea of how much you might roughly sell it for? And does it have a keyboard? Thanks.

What is a TF238? When I google for it, I get either a pair of sunglasses or a travel shocks and mounting kit...?

There was also a round meat ball forming machine..

Just curious...

TF238 is just a typo for TF328 - an expansion for CD32 with IDE controller and (up to) 8MB FastRAM

I had a good laugh reading this and imagining why one of these would make SimonCD32 decide to sell his A2000.

I wouldn't get rid of the 2000. You'll find that a lot of things will not work on the 68020!

Not when running WHDload. The TF328 effectively turns it into a 1200
