I thought i would give the little A600 a second chance and bought another from ebay after selling my last one
I double checked with the seller who said it's in great condition with absolutely no yellowing and the seal is still intact! (so no broken case clips ). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT |

Follow that link and then send a message to the seller how you would like your mug, I chose to remove the blue line and just have four tape covers instead as you can see from my pictures. I got my tape cover pictures from http://www.lemon64.com/ and http://plus4world.powweb.com/ then I sent the four I chose to the seller by email and she edited them and sent a draft back to me to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it It took about 2-3 days to arrive If I recall |

I bought a pair of Needle Nosed pliers to straighten the pins on my A1200 IDE port. I also bought a few DVDs for Christmas pressies....

Some early Xmas pressies for me
I just bought an extrenal SCSI CDR http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT And a cable to connect it to my Accelerator http://www.vesalia.de/e_scsicable50-25.htm Now lets just hope it works... The benefit of me doing this over a PCMCIA CD ROM is that I can still use the PCMCIA for Networking or CF Oh and I've also bought a 64mb Simm to replace my 32mb (no idea why since I never use all the 32mb LOL) And a 2.5gb Microdrive this will go in an 2nd A1200 that I will soon be getting and I will stick my old 8mb ram upgrade in there. Good for all those games that don't run so good on the 030 Hmm This is becoming an expensive hobby... Maybe I should have left it in the loft? Last edited by fitzsteve; 11 December 2009 at 13:25. |

I bought a modded Amiga 1200. It's got 8mb ram, 6gb 2.5" hdd and a mounted slim cdrom on the left side. It looks like it was built that way really professional job.
There is a small problem though. Workbench crashes if there is no floppy in the drive. I think it's got something to with Idefix software. The modder told me that he gave power to the cdrom using the floppy power port. I haven't used a real Amiga for more than 5 years. I'm really excited! will post pictures later. |

Just won an auction on Ebay for a complete Amstrad CPC464 system with colour monitor + 30 games... all for a mere £10 The original postage price of £33 was too high (ParcelForce ) so i'm arranging my own cheap courier to collect
Here it is: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT I also bought a 2mb SRAM PCMCIA card for my little A600 |

I got a "6128 plus" a few months back. If you need any Amstrad software, tapes, hardware upgrade advice. Lemme know. I bought mine without collecting the monitor and arranged my own PSU and SCART cable alternatives.
The first thing you're gonna want to try is perhaps OTLA the software which can compress tape WAV files to only a few KB MP3's which play back at incredible speeds. (Does 464 have an aux tape input?) http://code.google.com/p/otla/ [ Show youtube player ] |

I bought this Amstrad because i remember a friend owning one years ago (with a green screen!) and we used to play games such as Platoon, Gauntlet and another where one player controls a helicopter and the other controls a jeep (cannot remember the name)... it was very enjoyable and i preferred it more than my old Nes |

I mainly play Dizzy games and Prehistorik II (but then I have CPC6128+).
Wish I could read French, the CPC scene seems to be almost 100% french, I always considered it to be a UK only computer. |
