4010.0. "Help wanted - A2000" by TAGART::ATHOMSON (C'mon, git aff! /The Kelty Clippie) Mon Aug 13 1990 12:30

I have recently aquired an A2000 (That's an A2000 not B2000) motherboard. 4 layer board, 
Rev 4, only 512k on the motherboard, Made in Germany etc. - no case, no power supply, no 
drive, no keyboard, no 512k memory board.
If possible I'd like to get it working, and I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with these 
beasts ?? I've tried booting it up, by supplying the required power and 50Hz clock signal 
to the central power connector (after attaching a drive), but all it does is cycle through 
the light-grey : dark-grey screens. There is no keyboard attached.
I know that a B2000 will boot happily without a KB attached, does anyone know if the A2000 
is different ?
Has anyone tried booting an A2000 without the $C00000 memory board in place ??
Does anyone know if the 512K memory boards (the $C00000 one that sits in the co-processor 
slot) are available anywhere ?

Please mail me if you have one of these A2000s or have any answers to these questions.
