It came with the following: Rev 6.2 motherboard 1MB Chip RAM, 4MB Fast RAM KS 2.x ROMs 105MB SCSI Hard drive w/A2091 controller (inc 2MB RAM) A2630 Accelerator (25MHz 030) w/4MB 32-bit RAM 3.5" 880KB floppy Amiga Keyboard And yes, it powers up and runs. Cosmetically very good except for some dust inside. I still need to check on the 3.6V NiCad battery. Where is it exactly ? I've checked Google but it doesn't give enough detail about where one can actually find it. I was using the motherboard picture on this site as a reference: http://oldcomputers.net/amiga2000.html
