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 ;)
Amiga A1200, 3.1 ROMs, Blizzard 1230 MKIV 128MB & FPU, 4GB DoM SSD, Workbench 3.1

I finally got my atari up and running YAY! :lol:

I guess going back and picking up the monitor was the best way to go :)

I never was into Akais... I'm more of a Roland/Emu person... Not that I have much real hardware left anymore.. Damn you Arturia ;)
I picked up a Roland S-760, A Pioneer 6 stack SCSI CD-ROM drive and the 6 CD library of sounds from Roland for $200, $5 and $100 respectively. I used that for quite a while and then decided to move to Kontakt.

my love of the atari st was based on superficial things. the way it looked. i prefered it to amiga. i liked the design.

and my affection for this bike. which i never got. ah the little green desktop.

i had a bass player friend who picked out an amp from a skip. i wouldn't want to turn anything on like that without a power breaker. it could have been out in the rain all night...

Atari forever. it's just an amiga without the custom chips, a crappy OS and 20% (?) faster 68k. not as good as the amiga 6/500, but then the A1200 is not as good as the Atari Falcon - so there. :P

Nice. I'm still looking for the original Roland sound CD-ROMs for the S-7x0 series...

If there's an app like Kontakt for the iPad.. that might be a good reason to get an iPad.. (the Korg apps look cool).

Maybe not in the sound dept, but in the resolution, colour depth, and bit bandwidth for memory (Falcon 16bit STE bus, A1200 32bit Fast Ram via trapdoor) it IS superior so there :P
