I have an A1200 with 6MB, a 68030+MMU, and a Overdrive PCMCIA hard drive. I'll probably get an internal hard drive soon, when my 18th birthday finally comes around.

Three Amiga's sit in my home.

1) A500 1MB

Not in use. Gathering dust somewhere.

2) A600 2MB 200MB Harddisk

Not in use. Boxed and put away.

3) A1200 2MB+32MB 4096MB Harddisk 68030@40Mhz Scandoubler/FlickerFixer

In use as games machine.
It is running a modified ClassicWB install.
Makes backups using a 256MB compact flash.
Networks to the PC with a 10Mbit PCMCIA NIC (wired)

It is still white (but I doubt it will stay that way)

Two amigas to play with.

I picked up an Amiga 4000/030&882, 50MHz with 16mb fastram recently - still picking through the installed software - it's the first time I've played with OS 3.9, and I'm impressed.
Have also got a 1200 with blizzard 1230iv 50/50 & scsi kit - with 256mb ram, heh, heh, heh! Am waiting to get a cdROM on the 8ugger so I can install linux. Trounle is, although the RAM registers the SCSI bus doesn't - anyone come across this problem on the 1230ivSCSI before? (I plugged the scsi cable in back to front a while back, and I think this may have -ahem- affected things slightly - ooops!). Don't know if it's the accelerator board or the scsi board which is the problem there.
Am waiting for a micronik zorro busboard to arrive (via ebay), so will try the A2091 from my A4000 on the A1200, see if I can hook up a scsi CDrom that way.

Still, after messing about with the A4000, I just wish it could handle more RAM - 18mb just isn't enough to surf the web with, even with pictures disabled. Plus, no SSL so can't log onto eBay.
May have to sell the 4000, as can't afford to have both.

Right... what I can see from here is....

2x A4000T (both working but in 'open box' state - desperately requiring a network card)
3x A1200 (one is my original 1993 one now with external A2000 keyboard, HD, CDROM, network card, 030 and 32meg of RAM that i've never been able to fill)
2x A600 (one with a HD - very cute)
a A1000 (that i've never been able to boot due to lack of disks - cool Kickstart screen though - still needs a keyboard)
a A2000 (could have been a 1500 as it has 2x Floppies, but has a HD as well)
a A3000 (ex US converted to PAL, but no PSU )
and a CD32!!!!

I'm pretty sure there's a couple of very yellow A500s and maybe a couple of 1200s in various states of disrepair in the loft

so almost a complete collection? and they all look fooking cool (however my missus is going mad)

oh yeah and 4 philips monitors to put them on...

Three of them....

A standard A600

An A600 with 2Mb chip RAM, 40 MHz 030 processor (with FPU) and 8Mb fast RAM, Squirrel PCMCIA adapter with 4Gb Seagate HD and a TEAC CD RW drive (not used it for burning yet tho...)

A1200 pretty much standard but with 8 Mb fast RAM and the Spuirrel set up as for the A600 above.

HUGE PD SOftware collection - all the 17bit CDs, the UPD collection, Aminet ROMs and of course, loads of Amiga Format and CU Amiga ROMs

I'm down to two systems now that the A4000T PPC system has been sold.

1. A1200 (Desktop)

KickStart 3.1 ROMs, running OS3.9BB2.
Blizzard 1260 with SCSI Kit add-on (64MB RAM)
Prelude A1200 soundcard
20GB 2.5" HDD
Plextor SCSI CD-ROM

Connected to a MicroVitec 1438S monitor...everything powered from a Power Computing 200watt PSU.

2. A1200 (Desktop)

KickStart 3.1 ROMs, running OS3.9BB2
Blizzard 1230 Mk.IV with SCSI Kit add-on (48MB RAM)
4GB 2.5" HDD

Connected to the same monitor, powered by standard 25watt PSU...soon to be replaced, hopefully, with a Goliath 200watt PSU.

I have a spare Blizzard 1260, which I may put into the second system...depends how Galahads updated SWOS installer runs on an '060 cpu.

I've also got a Wireless PCMCIA ethernet card on order...which should be here soon.

All thats left is an external (or internal) scan-doubler/flicker-fixer (I think the MicroVitec monitor will not last that much longer...) and a reliable SCSI CDRW drive.

I may mod the desktop case of one of the machines...silver and black, to match the monitor and mouse I will soon be getting...really need a CDTV keyboard though, so I can whip the black keys off it and use it on the modded case...

Just the three for me...

An A600 with KS1.3 - designated as my Battle Squadron / Turrican 2 / Pang / Rainbow Islands machine.

An A1200 with KS3.1, 3.5GB HDD, PCMCIA network card, 10MB memory and some kind of 030 accelerator - used for Pinball Fantasies and very rarely for its original purpose of dumping games for CAPS.

An A1200 with 540MB HDD - used for banging out quick invoices and typing out notes to stick through a fax machine.

Also until last week 4 A500's in various states of dismantlage, then sent to the tip, and now most likely adorning the shelves of some second hand store.

The Amiga section of my lab is as follows:

Amiga 1200, Microbotics RAM/FPU expansion, 4(6.4)GB HD, PCMCIA network, external floppies.

Amiga 2000, 68030/SCSI, 2GBHD, need a network card

The 2000 and 1200 are switched on a 1942 monitor. I really need a scandoubler.

Amiga 500, Some generic BBC and RAM expansion, my own RAM hack, PAL/NTSC switch, A590, 1.2GB of storage, and a PC drive that works great as DF0: (cable hack). This 500 is the worst-hacked box I've ever seen, all the chips came from different units, many of the traces are burned off of the board and replaced with wire, and the case has been hacked to accomodate the PC floppy. Still, It runs great.

On the shelf I've got 2 1000's, 4 or 5 500's in various states of repair (mostly working), and a bin full of 501's, 520's, 590's, and other odds and ends for the 500's.

I really want a 3000, 4000, 600, and an '040 expansion for my 1200.

Oh yeah, and I've got an adapter that gives my 500 a Zorro slot on the sidecar bus (IIRC) that came with the Spirit ATA adapter (Used to run my BBS on that bugger with a full-height 5MB MFM drive that sounded like dying goats when it accessed).

Just an old A500 1.3, 1MB RAM. No HD, no 2nd drive, no extra memory nothing!
Tried to update it a few times with no result. Never had the money for that extra disk/accelerator/memory things. There are some (expensive) hard disks/accelerators for A500 in ebay though.

Currently massaging my spare 1200 motherboard into a compaq deskpro case - fits extremely snug with a micronik busboard - will have to cut out backplate & raise case top though to allow zorro cards to fit. And rehouse the psu...
That keyboard problem's a bit of a stumper aswell, what with having no adapter :¬(

All good clean fun though.
Forgot to mention the 2 A500+, the 3 A500s (1x 1 meg) and the 2 A600s which are stuck in various drawers - an ebay haul form about 2 years ago!

Could really do with a filing cabinet drawer to mount them ALL in, hook up a multi switch box & network the 8u99ers together (you can but dream....). Wish I had the programming knowledge to be able to do it though.
