Hi all

Hi eyeryone, i'm Neil.
I'm venturing back into the Amiga world after many years away.
Started off in the early 90's with an A600, then an A1200, added a hard drive to it and had lots of good times with it (and banter with my Falcon owning neighbour) and still have many fond memories of it.
I've spent a lot of time lately on just about every Amiga website I can find, having good a look at how the Amiga scene has developed and what's out there. Its great to see there is still a good following, a surprising amount of hardware development on the go and a few dedicated shops still supporting Amiga with what they can get to sell.
I decided to set up my Rasp Pi as an Amiga emulator, but it just isn't the same as the real thing, so I've just bought an A600 with a few upgrades which might seem odd to some, but its a start point to what I eventually want.

Neil.

Welcome in EAB Neez.

You did not mentioned it but the game scene is quite active as well. Don't hesitate to browse the various threads as you will discover new pearls & old ones being fixed by talentuous people

If you are not aware of it, there is even a Game development contest .

Feel also free to share your re-new A600 & Pi experience and don't hesitate to ask question(s) even the ones you never dared to ask.

Thanks for the welcome, the thing I find confusing with the game scene is that a lot of them are for the PPC/OS 4.
