A lot of people these days call them consoles, not sure why, when or who started that.

It's a computer after all :-)


Agree, ive never called them anything else then a Computer but I to have seen more people lately calling them consoles :S

Nice speed increase now, starting to getting quite quick your machine, I would love to play around with it! Have you tried running something that pushes it's hardware a bit? :)

Edit: Removed the explanation about computer consoles since I don't want to stray to off-topic.

got any suggestions? :p

Try some work in POV-Ray that will stress it plenty when rendering!

There are various builds for 68K Amiga version 3.1 and down will run on classic hardware, I would say use version 2.

Would be fun to see how well it handles it :)

I myself have had a hard time trying to find a beige one :/ But it looks good, keep up the good work Ammo Jammo.

Myself am working on a external DVD-drive (in a 5.25" case) for my A1200, not as nice as internal maybe but an external PATA connection will help file transfers when the PCMCIA slot is occupied :)
