Not a Mac but 68k

Traded an OSI Challenger 4p that was an Apple 2 competitor, and an Osborne 1 for an Amiga 2000 setup the other day. I'm hoping I can run Mac OS on it and possibly find the card that lets you run dos on it too. As it sits I have the Amiga 2000 with dual 3.5" floppy drives and a 5.25" drive that's not hooked up, the 2002 monitor that's working great, keyboard, rather ugly mouse, 68030 accelerator, and a scsi controller with dead Quantum hard drive attached.

That's cool, I grew up with 680x0 Macs, for some reason I've always had a soft spot for other 680x0 machines, especially Amigas.  I'd still like to get an Amiga 1000 some day just for fun.

Hey congratulations on that setup, I think I saw that on reddit too. It’s hard to find a machine like that now. I was more an Amiga user back in the day - had a 2500 - it’s nice to imagine what it could have been if someone competent (like Apple even) had that to work with.

if I had that I would stay SCSI with a SCSI2SD... perhaps add a FlickerFixer card but not much else.

My plan is to run a scsi2sd on the original scsi card, the 68030 accelerator, I'd like to get an upgraded video card, and possibly a PC card too because I think the 5.25" drive indicates it used to have one. Can't wait to start working on it, I'm really excited to finally have my hands on an Amiga!
