Thanks for the mention & glad I could help

Been playing Amiga games most of this afternoon!

Anyone else stuck their Amiga back in storage and stuck to emulators? I was thinking of getting a PCMIA card/connection and using the Amiga for spectrum games as well from the added kit

Cool, that's what it's all about. I try and play on mine at least once every evening, even if I'm not playing a game then I use it to play music or watch 060 demos while I'm coding on the PC. I don't really see the appeal of emulators myself but I guess if you can't have the real hardware it's the only option.

I only use emulation if I'm not near my Amiga/Speccy, my A1200 is permanently setup with a ZX Spectrum next to it - my other machines are within easy reach if I feel the urge to hook up an A500 or Speccy +2

Yeah, I don't have the space for it to be out, my A1200, A600 and 1084s are all tucked away... with all the other bits n' bobs...

I do use my Naksha mouse and AsciiPad SG-6 with D9/USB adaptor for my dedicated Amiga Emu PC Desktop

I also keep my AP and AF collection handy
