    You will want to open up that 1.5mb wedge and remove the battery from it sooner rather than later...

     

    Vote up!! Remove the memory expansion from the trapdoor and desolder the Varta type battery that lurks there. Also in the near future you should really change all the caps of the motherboard. They are over 20 years old and in the end leak with nasty results.

     

    Congrats on your new miggy! You've got a really nice bundle/setup there - kinda rare too (the hard disk).

    Why use Kickstart 3.1 rom if you plan on playing adf files from the gotek ? You'll have many incompatibilities with games that don't work. Most ECS/OCS games require 1.2/1.3/2.04 Kickstart roms. You'll have to resort to ReloKick or similar programs to avoid incompatibilities.

     

    3.1 on the other hand, is a great option if you're planning on using your 600 a bit more. That means installing a humble accelerator (ACA,Furia or Vampire), some extra ram and a CF/SD card for a hard disk. Then you can get really going by installing all the games you want in WHDLoad version!

     

    Currently my Amiga 600 is more or less like that : Kickstart 3.1 , Furia 020 Accelerator, A604n Memory expansion, SD2IDE adapter, KA47 IDE Riser and an 8GB Sandisk Ultra SD Card.

    Any chance of an A2000 adapter to fit this card from the CPU slot in the A2000?

     

    Currently I'm messing around with a A500 V2 in my A2000. It works okay, although the HDMI port doesn't seem to do anything. I haven't come up with a great way of mounting it yet either. A couple of plastic caps to keep it off of the motherboard, I'll have to do better than that for a permanent solution.

     

    While the Vampire is cool, I tend to agree that having a modest accelerator that covers all of the bases (speed, memory, video, and disk access) is very enticing.

     

    So far the only possible "new" accelerator is going to be Wicher 2000 from R7 Team : http://retro.7-bit.pl/?lang=en&go=projekty&name=nastepnyThat and their new IDE Controller
