You people with Amigas with PC type specs make me sick. You never truly knew what it was lke to be an Amiga owner. It meant sacrifices and hard work, games that would stop working for no apparent reason, software failures and many other bad things... anyway, that's my rant for the day, hope I didn't offend anyone too badly

Lastly, never let this board shut down, never...

I can relate to that!! ... I didn't know Amiga's had hard-drives!!
I've just bought an A1200 with 200mb HD, 4mb fast ram.
Now I have been told what to do with WHDLoad games etc... but I'm too retro and need to read everything 100 times!

Got 2 Amiga 500's sitting here... one with 1mb upgrade.

Amiga 2000 with working video toaster card. 1.3 and 2.05 rom switchable.

13 October 2005, 15:45

Amiga 500+ (1987)
Amiga 500 (1989)

As far as I'm concerned, WinUAE is a real Amiga. Make no mistake!

But it's not is it?

It's a PC emulating an Amiga - Does an excellent job but still not the real deal!

dkovacs · 13 October 2005, 21:23

I have an A1200/68030/6MB Ram and SquirrelSCSI.

20 October 2005, 14:12

This poll isn't responsive enough, there is no way for me to indicate that I own 2 Amiga 500 and one Amiga 4000 machines.

20 October 2005, 17:21

Got many little miggies, but main machine is a towerized a1200 with BlizzPPC 603e/210 040/25 + scsi + 256megs, MediatorSX with Voodoo3+Terratec512i+PlayTVPro, SubwayUSB, an ide cd-rom drive, a scsi burner, a 2.5" and a 3.5" ide harddrives, and 2 monitors connected for output (a Sony 17" and an AmigaTechnologies M1438S).
Oh, and a super uber Diamond Supra prehistoric 56k modem for surfing BBS!

20 October 2005, 23:36

I have a few Amigas:

A500 (my 1st from 1990 but, unfortunately, broken)
2 A1200s (one standard, one with Blizzard 1230-IV, 128Mb Ram, 3Gb HD, Squirrel, CD drive etc)
A2000 (with Video Toaster, 3.1 ROMs but no accellerator!:-( )
A4000 (3.2Gb HD, Cyberstorm MKII 68060 at 60mhz with 128Mb RAM, Picollo SD64, ASDG dual serial card, Amber SD and Algor USB card)

Still undecided about future Amiga purchases...

Steve James · 20 October 2005, 23:54

I have 3 Amigas at the moment, an A4000 with 850 mb hd, an A1200 in an Ateo tower which needs some TLC and an A1200 in a power tower, with blizzard 060, mediator, voodoo etc
Also have originals of Amithlon and just updated Amiga forever!
I've got it bad!!!!!

21 October 2005, 03:37

Yep, got 1 a500, a500+, a600 & a1200 + 030 card + 16mb ram/500mb hdd (wow). All 4 are sitting in my cupboard at the moment along with my ZX81, ZX 48k and (wait 4 it), My old Interstate that played pong and had a light gun (till it broke). My A500, A500+ & A600 all have faulty floppy drives (will be replaced eventually when this pc and my xbox dont need upgraded), but my a1200 is still in perfect working order. It gets setup every now and then for nostalgic purposes, to listen to tunes i made in MED many moons ago and watch/listen to my fav demos, joe's, 9fingers etc. Not got many games that work 100% nowadays as my mum put it in a freezin cold shed along with all my disks when i was still moving to my own house. Still, It's still my fav machine, way ahead of it's time. I used to love rubbing it right in with PC owners by firing up 9 fingers etc and saying can ur (Pish Computer - P.C.) do that then? naw - well get it up ye

).

Amiga will alwayz rule.

Doc.

WinUAE is far from being a perfect Amiga. The road of emulating the Amiga PERFECT is still long.

And not to mention it runs on

pc

SilentBob · 11 December 2005, 21:35

Well, two Amigas , 1200 and 4000. Bought in 1993, and still work after 12 years in service. And I thought the C64 was long-lived. :P

And I agree emulators don't count as real computers. If they did, I could say I owned any computer related to the emulators I have, which would make quite a few. That would just be silly.

SWOS · 11 December 2005, 22:16

A600 on the way!! waiting .... hope its better than the A500 that i used to have..

bravo · 11 December 2005, 23:28

I have just purchased an Amiga 1200 with 120MB HD off eBay,
got it for £31.99 with all manuals, however there was no Joysticks so I have just bought two new Zipsticks off eBay,
bravo
