You're in Canada, right ?

Does your friend happen to have an early German A2000 ?
ie. - no monochrome composite output port on the back ?

I know that these were sold in Europe and Canada where
A2000's were available earlier.

If he does have an early German A2000, I believe the 68000 processor
must be removed to use the Commodore 68020 or 68030 card.

(and you therefore can't boot into 68000 mode).
