Amiga 2000 Resurrection
Greetings!
I recently got nastolgic and decided to dig out my Amigas. I have a A1000 (still with box) and two A2000's. I am focusing on one of the A2000's. Here are the specs: Rev. 6.2 mobo. Kickstart 2.04/Workbench 2 Upgraded from 1.2 Microway Flicker Fixer AGA2000 GVP Series II SCSI Controller A2000-HC w/6mb RAM (3.07 ROM) 65 mb hard drive Seagate ST277-N (This thing sounds like a jet engine winding up) 1MB Fat Agnus Standard Denise This unit does not have a leaky clock battery (amazing for 15yrs of storage). Case is very clean and has original mouse and keyboard with no yellowing. I've started the upgrade process to this machine: Replace clock battery.The second A2000 I am going to keep for parts or trade, but here are the specs: Rev. 6.2 mobo. Kickstart 1.2/Workbench 1.2 1MB Fat Agnus Standard Denise This unit has a leaky battery. Battery has been removed and board cleaned. System still boots. I will be documenting each step of the process (photos will be included). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks! Last edited by Craig; 20 April 2012 at 11:06. Reason: Wrong info |

One other thing...I've read that I should replace the capacitors in the power supply because of it's age (can't seem to find the link to that).
True or False? Thanks! |

It certainly won't do any harm in hardware this old, but may not be strictly necessary either. If the capacitors appear bulged or have leaked, then you absolutely must replace them.
