I know, some time is already gone since my question here, but now
I'm sitting next to that what my friend calles an VS2000...it is an card
cage, Mainboard, Memory Board, 2 Color Options, Lance Ethernet,
 some wiring harnesses and an PSU :-|.

Ok, Tere where two  Color Boards, 4 plane and 8 plane, mounted the 4
plane version and put that thogether, connected my FreeBSD PC and here
it is:

KA410-W V2.3

If I'm interpreting that correctly then the machine has 6MB of Memory.
There is no MFM Disks, but I've connected the ST31200N that was in the
box with the boards.

I don't even know if the VS2000 is able to boot from that SCSI disk, is
that possible or is an RDxx MFM disk necessary?

Holm
