probably a weird idea to yall.

I assume that you haven't seen some of the amazing ( or pathetic :-P ) towers that many amigans have put their miggys in...


Me?
I have an A1200 ( with a far-to-weak PSU ), an A500 ( stock A500 with the original mouse. I haven't even got extra-mem in it... ), and an A600 ( Bog standard with 2MB chip-RAM. ).

Welcome aboard....

I've got two A1000's resting comfortably in the mythical computer closet with the Atari 800s.  I also have 2 A2000s.

Welcome, A1000JH !
 
Hope you enjoy amiga.org. A lot calmer discussions
here than on ANN...
 
I personally have (apart from the C64)  an A500, two A1200:as and an A4000/060 that is my main machine. Sadly never had an A1000  :-(
 
Hope to get an AONE soon though... :-D

Hi A1000JH :-)

I run a A3000.  All ZORRO slots full.  060 clocked as fast as it will
go.  RAM slots full of 32Mb simms :-) In a home built tower.  Saving
for a Mediator3000D for 6 ZORRO slots and 5 PCI and I hope a SharkPPC.

Plus a A600 for gameing.  No wintel (never, ever).
AMIGA 3000dT 060~66mhz RAM: *128*Mb/CyberVision64: *4*Mb/*18*Gb SCSI HDDs CD ROM CD-RW

In response to your query, I own:

:-D 1 @ Amiga 4000 with:
   CyperStormIII 68060@50MZ/604e@233MZ
   PicassoIV graphics card
   X-Surf network card

:-D 1 @ Amiga 3000 with:
   WarpDrive 68040@25MZ
   CyberGraphics graphics card
   NewTek Video Toaster
   X-Surf network card

;-) The above two are networked to my (only) PC with Samba.

:-) 1 @ Amiga 2000 with:
   Opalvision graphics card
   Supra SCSI controller
   MegaChip chip RAM expansion

:-) 2 @ Amiga 500s, one with:
   GVP Series II SCSI controller

:-) 3 @ Amiga 1000s, one with:
   Two external memory expansion units,

--And other goodies that I can swap from one machine to another, such as external Zip drives, SyQuest Drives, CD ROMs, etcetera.  As you can see, my many ‘miggies are a serious hobby for me.  And that’s not counting seven of the old Commodore computers.  Of course, I do not hold the record on this forum.  There are almost certainly other folk with more Amiga stuff than me.

Welcome A1000JH......

Myself? Well I entered the Ami camp in '88, having started out on CBM devices such as the C64, SX64, and C128D.

From a 1.2 KS A500, I moved on to an A2000HD which currently is 060 powered, runs a multiscan from a PicassoII card, and access' data from 4 SCSI HDDs, 1 CD-ROM, and a HP Scanjet.

Its my e-communications gateway, and prints through a 24 pin and a Deskjet printer.

( Shortly, it should be joined by a Black Tower encasing the fabled A1 XE 800Mhz newcomer to the Ami fold! )

Other Amis hanging about in this room include an A1200HD and a modified CD32.

Powerpufffan,

Wishful thinking (unfortunately).  Back in the late 80's, the AMIGA was used by the US military.  I personally know about its use as a orbital mechanics simulator on an earlier version of the missile program that I work on.  Unfortunately, the AMIGA dissapeared from my program around 1990 because the software didn't keep up and the horsepower started to fall behind.  I have heard (but do not know for sure) that other programs used the AMIGA in varying capacities until the early 90's.  I have been told about a few other programs but I have never been able to verify that AMIGAs were actually used.

By today's standards of graphics and simulations, the classic AMIGA is (sadly) way behind.  Now before you go and mention the new generation of AMIGAs please keep in mind that they will have to be in widespread circulation and have a clear line of support before they can even be propsed for a government contract.

Oh yeah, in responce to the original post of this thread, my AMIGA is as follows:

C= A4000T (NOT ESCOM PRODUCED, motherboard #16)
Cyberstorm MK III '060
Cybervision PPC
128MB RAM
CD+RW
Multiface III
Video Toaster / Flyer
18GB HD (AMIGA use)
30GB HDs (Toaster use)

Regards,
Lee Stanford

I have

*1200 unexpanded
*1200 with 030 50Mhz 16Meg CDrw  4gig HD
*CD32 with SX1 2gig HD  8meg
*PC with Amithlon on it
and the machine I normally use is
A4000 in a power tower with Cyberstorm PPC, Cyber vision PPC, 146meg ram ,2 x 9.1 gig HD's, CDrw, CDrom, Hyper I/O card, Ariadne II, Pelude Z2, HD floppy drive.
The only problem is its all getting so old and bashed around its becoming very unstable.

Can't wait for a nice new one ;-)

"I am curious, what different Amiga models do y'all have?"


Got myself 2 A1200's (unexpanded) and one A500, all three working perfectly. Running AOS3.9 under UAE on a laptop.

Began my voyage into Amigaland around '86 I think, when the A500 was released in Sweden. Never abandoned it since.  :-D

And will get a AmigaOne as soon as I have the money to place an order on the best system for sale. (but will still use the trusthworthy A1200's :)

Welcome to Amiga.org!  Please wear flame-retardant material at all times.  :-D
I've got an Amiga 4000T (Escom) and a CD31 with an SX strapped to the back to make ia a slightly more effective (but less expandable) A1200.  Before that I had LOTS of Commodore 128's with all the latest goodies.  Just missed "Wheels" and only in the last few years let my subscription to "Loadstar" die. So yeah, I'm a die-hard.  Real passionate about my 'miggy, too.
