The last Amiga I owned was a 2000 and I got rid of it sometime in the mid 90’s. Fast forward and now I’m having regrets about having gotten rid of it and also my beloved Coleco ADAM. So this thread will cover my reintroduction into these wonderful machines.
The awesome part of this beginning, was that I was initially going to search for an A2000 online but just as I was about to do that, I was asked if I wanted one from one of our remote locations in South Florida. It had been sitting docile for over 10 years and they were going to toss it. It took me 2 months to get it but it finally arrived. No keyboard or mouse, but it does have a 1084S monitor and it is equipped with the GVP SCSI+8 (with 2mb on board). The motherboard had the typical battery bleed that you find. I am going to remove the board and one of the fine members on here has offered to help me out by hopefully restoring it to the best of his abilities. In the mean time, I’m on the hunt for some more 1MB SIMM RAM to fill out the 8MB and do some external case whitening, or cleaning. It did come with a 3rd party external drive, but I just bought an A1010 drive for it that is really clean. Next up will be a GoTEK of some type to place in the empty 3-1/2 drive bay. I just received a USB adapter so I can use a modern mouse, though I do want to find a Tank mouse and an original keyboard.
I’ll get some pics uploaded tonight!
