Hi, everyone! I'm Patrick, and I'm new to Amigas. I've been lurking for a little bit, and thought I'd properly introduce myself. I just bought an A1200 for which I'm waiting to get roms and workbench 3.1 from amigakit. I'm also going to try to build an A3000D system from parts. I love tinkering with hardware - I write software for a living, and find it relaxing to close the lid on my windoze laptop and play around with older machines. I was an apple //c user back in the 80s/early 90s, ran a BBS off of a Mac in the mid-90s, and collected wierd machines for a while (trs-80 model 12, osbourne portable) but I wasn't able to hold onto most of it due to moving around. I wanted to get something I could have fun with that would be really nice and for some reason, visions of Amigas popped right into my head.
It makes sense, I suppose, because I have a whole host of books and data sheets for the m68k family which will make things easier - now if only I can find the box they're in, lol. This seems like a nice board, with many friendly users. Thank you to the admins for running it!
