Paul Slocum Posted July 23, 2002 Share Posted July 23, 2002 I got an Amiga 2000 today for $2.50 and I'd like to get it all set up and running. It boots up okay, but I don't have a keyboard or mouse. I tried my ST mouse and it didn't seem to work. Is there a simpler solution than finding an actual Amiga keyboard and mouse? Also, it has 6 BNC connectors on the back. 4 or them are labeled Video IN, one says Program OUT, and the other says Preview OUT. Is this part of a Video Toaster or something? -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted July 24, 2002 Author Share Posted July 24, 2002 I confirmed that it is a Video Toaster! Good score for $2.50. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliColts Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Yes that is a very nice score for an A2000 with Video Toaster. That is still to today a great video editing system. You will need an A2000 keyboard (they are specific only to the 2000), and as far as I know you will need just a general 2 button amiga mouse. The mouse plugs into the 9 pin plug on the front where the joysticks plug in. The keyboards are usually $30-40 on ebay but if you watch out you may find one for 20 or so. If you decide to keep and use it, I have alot of sealed games available for trade or sale. Enjoy your Amiga!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnenhexer Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Great score, 2,50. The 2000 is great, you can extend it to an XT/AT with cards. Which Kick-Roms does the 2000 have? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted July 24, 2002 Author Share Posted July 24, 2002 Thanks for the info. I'll probably just wait and see if I can find a keyboard and mouse at Thrift stores. I have seen them before. I'm not sure which ROMs it has. I did more poking around and it also has a SCSI card, hard drive, processor accellerator/RAM expansion, and VGA card. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonnenhexer Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Switching the Amiga on, a Hand appears holding a diskette. Beside there is a number, the Amiga 500 has 1.2 or 1.3 normally, some have newer versions of Kickstart. Just intersting which Kick the 2000 has.

Bez Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Pretty sure all 2000´s had 1.3 Kickstart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Slocum Posted July 24, 2002 Author Share Posted July 24, 2002 It appears to be 1.3. -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
