I think it's more a case of anti-cult mentality rather than anti-Apple.


Well, we are all part of a cult or two, it's just when a cult gets big enough we give it a different name. :)

Cult of the Amiga for the win :lol:

I like OSX for the most part, it gets on my nerves in many ways though, as do Linux and Amiga OS and I also like them.


I can't really think of any modern OS that really bugs me, I would probably get on just fin with Win7, once I figure out where everything is. Hopefully it won't come to that, fingers crossed Lion will be suitable for everything I do :)

Back on topic... Anyone know where I can find a bloody 13pin din plug? :(

13 pins?! Wow... Are all pins used? I.e., could you get away with a 7- or 8-pin one (assuming the pins physically match up and all that)?

that damn special DIN connector is hard to find and somewhat expensive

(but, then, perhaps not as much as 23pin dsub..)


Hi,

Just buy a 25 pin and cut the last two pins off vertically but first before you cut hold the plug up to the Amiga like you were going to plug it in, then do the cuttin on the right side.

There have been stories of people finding decent Amiga equipment in the trash - I wonder how much hasn't been saved - I rescued some using the freecycle yahoo groups some years back.

As for the Atari, the best one ever made was an 800XL followed by the 130XE. ST - should have left it where it belonged ;)
