Picked up Commodore Amiga 2000

Since you would be using the Amiga for video it would be emulated CGA or mono. I think you can install a VGA card in an ISA slot (and you can expand all the slots to 16 bit if you solder in the header). Most people used an ISA network card to get around the more expensive Zorro Amiga boards (100+ I think). Anyway the XT and 286 Bridgeboards are not that expensive but anything faster sure is. Not sure why you would want to turn an Amiga 2000 is into a DOS machine anyway, I had a 286 Bridgeboard and currently user an XT bridgeboard in one of my A2000's just for the heck of it. Mostly I use the Amiga for gaming. -----Original Message----- From: devin davison Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2016 10:13 PM To: General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Picked up Commodore Amiga 2000 A buddy located this just in time, it was out at a scrapyard and we are about to get hit with a hurricane over here in florida. Picked up a commodore amiga 2000 with the keyboard, no mouse or monitor. I hooked it up to a tv via composite and get to the boot screen. It appears to have a scsi hard drive controller in it. I figured this would be the place to ask... It looks as if PC compatibility boards can be added to the machine, boards with a 286, 386, or 486 and some memory on a board, capable of running MS DOS. IF i were to install such a board, what kind of graphics capability would the dos side of things have? I just got started with the machine, im still trying to get it to boot up, but if it would be pretty capable with dos then i will keep an eye out for one of the cards. any suggestions to get started would be appreciated. --Devin --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
