Who owns a real Amiga ? - Page 26

Brutal DLX · 03 July 2007, 06:16

I have an Amiga 500, but I'd count it as "non-functioning". It turns on and starts to boot a disk, but then randomly resets itself repeatedly. I gave up on it and use WINUAE instead.

I also have a CD32 in a cupboard somewhere. It was working perfectly well until my mother stood on it sometime back in the early-to-mid 1990s. That was the closest I've ever come to committing matricide in my entire life.

I own an amiga 500,600 & 1200 tho i tend to use the 600 most of the time,i tend to use my amiga most nights mainly playing swos or championship manager.

I have many things for the amiga which i just never use that i have collected over the years from games to hardware and it is one of the things i just never seem to get round to sorting out and getting rid of but i guess thats life with an amiga as a few friends who still have them are the same.

I own a real WinUAE !!

Paul_s · 25 May 2008, 21:28

wow this thread is still going...

My collection has grown a bit since I last posted...

4 x A500's (all 1.3ks early rev 5 or 6's)
2 x CD32
1 x A1000
1 x GVP A530

and a load of memory expansion cards etc etc

Probably try and get a 1200 before the year is out

My all time favourite is the A500 - I love those more than any other Amiga as they were my first and are a work of art

TCD · 25 May 2008, 21:33

Okay, even though I'm the lamer of the week :
I have 1 (read one

) Amiga 500 with 512kb trapdoor expansion, A520 TV modulator and a second floppy.
That one is working and I got my old dead miggy in the attic somewhere...

Argh!! This ruins your eyes. You need a RGB cable for sure, or at least a composite AV cable.

Yep, it's awful, but soooo oldskool!

I just bought it 3 weeks ago (thanks to this board

) and will set it up properly the next weeks. It already took me half an hour to plug it to my TV with sound...

turrican3 · 25 May 2008, 21:49

25 May 2008, 23:05

Huh? You can only vote for one Amiga, but I have loads of them!

Plus, what if you own part of an Amiga that's kept in the loft, does that count?

What's this??

MazinKaesar · 25 May 2008, 23:21

I want to but a SAM440 with OS4... even if it is not a "true" Amiga, maybe can be more funny a real classic with a 68040...

Samurai_Crow · 25 May 2008, 23:57

Since there isn't multi-select on this poll, I've got both an A1200 and an A500. I selected A1200 since that is the one I use more often.

My A500 is rusty from being mistreated by someone I loaned it to and I only keep it around for the legality of having a Kickstart 1.3 ROM image that I use in WinUAE.

alphonsus · 22 June 2008, 21:15

A1200 in Micronik tower (don't get one, it's naff)
1D4 motherboard KS3.0 (my next upgrade)
BlizzPPC 603e+ - 040@25MHz, 603@160MHz, SCSI
BVision
16Mb FastRAM
256Mb CF card as 30Mb Workbench, 216Mb Work
2x SCSI CDrom
Elbox Z-IV Zorro board
Z-IV Mediator (not yet working) with sound and LAN cards
Micronik A1200 keyboard case

Old Fool · 22 June 2008, 22:09

2x A500

Shoonay · 22 June 2008, 22:13

A600 + 1MB RAM
A1200 + 4MB RAM
A1200 + 32MB RAM Blizzard 030/50MHz

Merlin · 22 June 2008, 23:12

Erm, I am collecting the set I reckon... I have a couple of A600s, a few A1200s, 2 A500s including the rarer red LED A500 and a couple of A500+.

One of the A600s is being modded Zetr0-style, with a 1Gb CF card, DVD/CD-RW laptop drive, a SCART socket to the rear above the audio sockets and possibly the 2Mb piggyback hack, to save space inside the already crowded case. Add a 2Mb fast ram PCMCIA card and a 3.1 ROM and that should just about cover it.

If rkauer's and Zetr0's accelerator comes along, I might even see if I can squeeze that in as well.

Most of the others are remaining standard, apart from memory upgrades.
