Hi all.
It started some weeks ago, an old friend called me and asked if I wanted his old Amiga 500. He was going to throw it away!!!! It's a A500 with 1MB chip (rev 6 mainboard) 4MB fast cortesy of the A590 SCSI controller, AND IT RULEZ! The old disk was a goner, but I had a 8GB SCSI disk and it works flawlessly.
Because of this I started to search for a flicker fixer, but I found a A1200 in a Elbox E/Box with a Blizzard 1230/50/6882 with 32MB ram and OS3.9. So I bought it, much to my wifes dispair, and love it.
I have set up TCP/IP (genesis) and samba so that I can share files with my Linux server and it works. I have even registered WHDLoad. :-D
Can't remember having this much fun with computers in ages. Now I can't wait to get the Dragon coldfire card and a AGP graphic card, I hope the will start shipping in october. That way I canm use it for more internet tasks to (Using Ubuntu now).
Conclusion: Amiga RULEZ!
