Copperhead technologies ads A2000 repair $145. 518 346 3894
BBS 518 346 7532 They also advertise as wanting to purchase
used Hardware. (New York)
Paxtron -- (also New York) says they sell factory new late
revision A2000 motherboards for $279.00
Whats changed? Quite a bit, a New OS's Internet software,
accelerators. For instance I believe a stock A2000 does
around .6 MIPS. Mine does 9 MIPS, you can get a '060 to
do around 42 MIPS. A gfx card is an eloquent solution to
not having AGA :)
