Now I have the hang of uploading Pictures to ImageShack I thought I would upload some images of my Amiga setup...

First is my A1200 (3.1 Roms)...

Fitted with Blizzard 030@50mhz and SCSI device - 64 Meg of Ram - HP M820 CDR connected via the Blizzard SCSI Device - 2 Gig internal IDE IBM Hard Drive - Subway USB fitted - Creative 56K Modem - Microvitec Monitor with Creative Speakers - two additional floppy drives & compact Flash cards & USB Memory sticks for backup...

Picture one...




Picture Two...



Picture Three...




Picture Four...




I am running Classic Workbench and I have Magic Workbench 2 installed.
It is a nice clean A1200 that I picked up on Ebay last year for around £50.00

Here is my only other Amiga (At the moment!)

My A500...



The Philips CM8833-II Monitor is in really good condition and is connected to a pair of Creative Gigaworks T20 Speakers (not pictured) they sound very good and I would recommend them...

I purchased from Ebay a Supra 2 Meg Ram Expansion for about £12.00 - when I set it up it actually had 8 Meg... result.
Together with a second Cumana Floppy drive and a Canon BJ10EX Printer it is a nice little second system that I mainly use for games when the A1200 is busy...

Supra Ram... Picture One...




Supra Ram... Picture Two...




Of course it is also really useful for running old games that the A1200 refuses to...

Oh yes - I'm a registered user of WHDLoad - have that running on the A1200 - wouldn't be without that!

The A500's real purpose is for me to still be able to play sensible soccer when I am pulling the A1200 to pieces TBH...

Just got the GVP the other day.

I also have a stock A500 with A501 512k ram addon collecting dust on the shelf
Still have all this (except I took the GVP out so the 2000 is a stock kick 2.05 system)

Added a A3000 030/25 with 2MB chip/12MB fast, rj45 network card, and a Retina Z2 4MB video card. Has a nice 3 button optical/IR mouse too.

Korky - do you have the hard drive split into 4 gig partitions?
The resaon I ask is because I have an 80 gig drive and I am having trouble setting it up - do you have any set up tips...?

What IDE controller do you have?
