Hello, world!

Hello everyone,

I just signed up with the EAB and look forward to being a more active member of the Amiga community.

I first got started with the Amiga 2 years ago when my room mate gave me his Amiga 1200 and 4000/40. At the time, the 4000 was dead and I did not know how to get it back up and running, but the a1200 worked just fine, so for about the first year and a half, I was using the 1200. I then discovered DblNTSC and my room mate found his Amiga rgb > VGA adapter and learned that the aga only put out a horizontal scan frequency of 15khz (it's different for pal - I forget the number exactly). Knowing that DblNTSC is a scan line frequency doubler, I put 2 and 2 together and decided I would try and make a boot floppy that had DblNTSC installed and try it on the a4000. Voila! The 4000 booted and gave me workbench. I also found the cybervision 64/3D and the companion scan doubler amongst my collection of hardware and have been using the 4000 as my almost primary computer since. I plan on putting the mediator 4000Di in there shortly to see what other hardware I can run on that machine.

I also plink around with the commodore 64 every now and again, but not as much as the Amiga.

Hello!

Welcome to EAB!

That was very lucky, to get Amigas. Except one I own, I never seen one around here. (West Michigan)
