G-Force A2000-040 Combo Accelerator Card REV 6 - Commodore Amiga
This is a GVP 68040 acellerator for the Commodore Amiga 2000. Besides the 33mhz CPU, it has an FPU, SCSI, Serial/Parallel ports and 4 SIMM slots for memory. This card has been fitted with a V6.11 GURU ROM that greatly increases SCSI speed and provides other benefits. The amount of installed RAM is unknown, I believe its 8-12MB.
This vintage accelerator was pulled from a working Amiga 2000, howe...ver the CPU fan had seized up. I removed it and cleaned the CPU. It's currently ready to have something else installed on it, and I would advise doing so before running this card longer than a few minutes. I did use it long enough to see the computer boot, then I shut it off. The card is also missing the external 25-pin SCSI bracket that plugs into the header on the card. Any sort of 25 pin port/ribbon cable should be able to be connected to this or you can just use the internal SCSI interface.
This card is sold strictly AS/IS, no returns or exchanges! Thanks for looking!
