Your favorite classic Amiga expansion hardware?

[T3000]

In my A2000 it was the Megachip.

a PicassoII made my 3000D like a new machine.

In my 3000Tower it the DPS Personal Animation Recorder and Sunrize Industries AD516 combo.

not to mention the Video Toaster

if I had the cash it would be the Video Toaster Flyer system.

Hi everyone,
Eversince I got my ROM 3.1 on both A1200 and A500, things has opened up for me. Specially on A1200. The whole thing became more modern, faster, smarter(hardware wise).

I got 2 Accelerator cards for my A1200 and 16Mb ram made the difference. IDEFix so I could use those 3'5 4GB HDD. My fave  expansion to date.

A CDRW(who can live w/o it?). I could never be able to backup my (dozens) of disk backup piling up my desk. Now I got CDROMS piling up my desk(he he he). The best expansion for me so far.

Good days to all Amigans! :-D

 For me it was my first Hard drive for my A600..it was a damaged Hitachi 345Mb laptop superslim HD which was extrememly expensive in those days but I got it free cuz the guy said it didnt work for his PC. But I knew that meant that it didnt necessarily mean it didnt work on my Amiga.  

 Boy that practically changed my life!

Second place would definitely have to be The Full Motion Video Card for the CD32. What a feeling that was when I showed my PC owning friends the peices of crap they owned, when even a 2 megabyte Commodore console blew their Pointless Contraptions (PC)  to smitherines!  I did it with one of the Highest quality VideoCD's ever made........FORREST GUMP!  super excellent compression made by PHILIPS.

Third is of course My SX32 Freakin Pro....what a system.

and forth I think its gonna be when I add USB to my A600

Fifth will be  when I add a DVD RW internally to my A600 or CD32

not that easy :

in these "modem days" i really liked my MFC3.
atm its the hydracom and xsurf (which make no sense w/o my CS060) - the FLZ3 is a very nice thing, too.
ALL IN ALL you can say the whole miggy itself is my favorite HW expansion ;-)

In order of preference (and in order of purchasing):

Hard drive (Got me a 1.4GB 2.5" Hitachi from Wizard all those years ago!)

Blizzard 1260/50 +32MB (Now at 66MHz and 64MB for 2 years solid. Most stupendous speed increase ever, and the ability to play MP3s at full quality was/is fantastic, though only with older versions of SongPlayer)

CD-ROM & CD-RW... Boy, what a difference. All those cover CDs, Mmmm...

Mediator + Voodoo3 (Even though it's been finnecky and doesn't give nearly the performance it's capable of) Was the single biggest increase in speed since the 060

3.1 ROMs and OS3.9, for all that good, system-legal hacking :-)

After that, the various things I love in their own little way: Catweasel, HyperCom 3+, internal scandoubler (all bought), and LCD screen for the tower, clockport splitter and keyboard adaptor (all home-made).

Mmm... Amiga... You don't get that kinda feeling for PC hardware, do you??

[lempkee]

Os3.9  , 3.1 roms

Os4 , AmigaOne

Blizzard 060

Blizzard ppc 060

mEDIATOR

thats basically my top list

looking forward to getting an Micro A1 now

[Panthro]

has yo be my PPC + Bvision combo on my A1200 ....tooo cool
but I guess if I had a Shark G4 and a Mediator + VooDoo3 I would feel different......... :lol:

[Framiga]

GVP TbcPlus with 2 megs of FrameBuffer, CombFilter and SMPTE chip (rare). . . without esitation :-)
