Nice! Is the data still intact on the floppies? I've always had bad luck with floppies... I'd try to make some .img's of those right away, for archival purposes.
Very cool stuff.
Of course, the problem is my attempts to hunt down an Amiga 2000 are hitting walls.... walls everywhere. Friend has 3 but they're dead. I have two more leads though -- one is looking dead before event, the other one is a long drive cause he is in Delaware or something.Quote:

Where in Delaware and, is it something I could try and grab for you? I'm jammed to the gills with stuff and have very little free time between now and wagons rolling on Monday evening but, I'll do what I can.

I'm actually really curious if this stuff works. It has probably been 10 or 15 years since anyone touched them.
Would be cool to get them running with one of Bill's old ion laser projectors in our future showroom some day...
cool. i'm an amiga head from the old days. it'd be great to see that stuff in action.

If I find time later in the week, I'll publish a show script or two for old times sake.

The Amiga lead in Delaware I think is a more expensive lead than others (He might be in NJ near Asbury Park, not 100% sure.) So I'm trying to go through others first.
I will image the disks, but I also have a disk image from a working system used by Seaworld (default install I believe) so if the disks for some reason fail to work the other image may or may not. Not sure yet.
The crazy thing is I had Amiga 2000s in the past but gave them away. I have 500s and a 600, but the 600 while it has awesome internal flash storage via CF card it doesn't have the expansion slot. The A500 had a different form factor expansion slot that may or may not work with a QM16 -- but also usually lacks hard drive storage (since the hard drive would use the same slot.)
We will see -- hey there is like a week and a half to go... :-)
The Amiga 500's expansion slot is not the same as a true Zorro II slot like you have in the Amiga 2000. However, all the needed signals are there - you just need to re-wire them. There was a file on Aminet that explained how to do it...
Alternately, if you can find a used Bodega Bay (California Access), Bus Converter (MicroniK), or Slingshot (Micro R&D), you can plug one of those in to the A500's expansion slot and then you'll have a true Zorro II slot (or several slots) to plug the QM-16 into.

PS: Used Amiga 2000's show up on E-bay all the time for cheap money...
