What Are These Cards (A2000)?

Tempest 2084 · Yesterday, 20:09

I have someone I'm trying to trade with for an Amiga 2000 and it has these cards in it that I can't identify. From the picture they look like they have IDE cables coming off them. He also has an A2091 hard drive card that appears to have maxed out RAM.

Second question. I'm trying to get back into the Amiga again after selling off my A2000 and A3000 and regretting it. What's the best what to upgrade an A2000 these days without breaking the bank? All I really want to do is use WHDLoad to play games. I have a friend who has an A600 that he recapped, but he wants $600 for it which seems kind of high to me.

I asked the owner and he said:

"One is a math co-processor and the other is an accelerator or memory"

Neat. I wonder how compatible it is? The problem with all those 'IBM in your Apple/Amiga/Atari' things is that they all worked for business software but had so-so compatibility with games.
