is it this : A2091 SCSI-Filecard ?
or GVP 1.0 Not quiet sure... I get access to a menu at the boot up sequence when I press both mouse buttons... There I can choose between DFO und DF1 But it doesn't change anything I get back to the screen with "insert disk" symbol....Its Kick 2.0.... If i start Workbench 1.3 (from disc) I see Ram, WB1.3 and DF1??? But if I click on DF1 the screen just gets yellow (blinks) |

http://l8r.net/technical/t-2000-jumpers.shtml
J301 This jumper is closed to add a second internal floppy drive, open to leave the second floppy out of the main unit box. The Amiga expects an ID bit stream from each floppy drive; this lets it determine the drive type. External floppies have this ID circuitry on board, but as it's not an industry standard capability, it has to be implemented on the A2000 motherboard to save cost on internal drives. Leaving the jumper open prevents the Amiga from seeing the ID sequence. |

Okay I hope I get this right what you just wrote...
When I start up my Amiga 2000 (actually it's an Amiga 2500) since I found an expanded memory card titled A2500 2MB Ram) in it....I automaticly get to the screen where it says Kick 2.0 and the insert disk animation appears...If I press both mouse buttons during the boot up sequence I can switch between the floppy drives right ? Has nothing to do with the hard disk??? How do I get access to the HD then? Would like to see if it still works... |

Yeah I did something...Now I changed the little cables that usually connect to the leds for the HD and the power led....I changed the whole head with the led lights and cables from the other destroyed amiga...and now I got access to the hard disk...Strange....Huh...But most of the games (e.g. Monkey 1 and 2 don't work anymore) but yes Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis works...Cool...It even seems that both internal floppies work now...I changed both of them with the other amiga 2000....Coooooool...
