Re: What do you own besides Amiga?

I sell everything I don't use.

I have a Hackintosh running OSX and Win 7 (via Parallels),
a Pmac running MorphOS,
Two Intel Atom netbooks,
An Atari 130XE with a Hitachi 63B09E processor,
and a Color Computer 3 (also using the above processor).

I've considered buying an Amiga 4000 or 1200, but AmigaForever seems adequate for whatever MorphOS won't run

Oh, and I guess if you count game machines - an Atari 7800, Sega Genesis, Sega 64, Sega Dreamcast, and a Nintendo Wii

I'm into mopeds these days.

Cool, I've got a Derbi Predator LC I've had for several years.
Been thinking about bumping it up to 70cc.

I stuck a 70cc kit on my Tomos LX, it only lasted about 700 miles, piston kinda melted.  Should've put on a bigger carb, I think. 50mph was nice, though.

50 mph on a Tomos would be cool.
I can manage 40 to 45 on the Derbi with an unrestricted exhaust.
Luckily, with liquid cooling I probably don't have to worry about a meltdown.

Wish I had the bigger wheels of a Tomos though.
The Derbi can be a handfull with its small wheels.

I'm selling or giving away most of my excess.
My two Power mac G4s are going to people who can use them (one a regular poster here and another that wants to port Libre Office to MorphOS).
I've sold off most of my X86 equipment except for an older AGP system I use to flash video cards (except for a netbook so i can run Silverlight .

I have a 1.67 Power book running MorphOS 3.1.
AmigaDave is sending me a G5 Power mac for MorphOS.
I've an A2000 I'm slowly upgrading (don't really care about AGA - an Indivision ECS will be more then adequate).

And for experimenting with old 8 bit code, I keep an Atari XE130 around that has been modified with a Hitachi 63B09E processor (and an old Color Computer 3 which I never use as the emulator works better).

I only use "modern"  computers when I have to.

I'd love to see a new board created in A2000 or ATX form factor that would take the last AGA revision components and use Zorro III/PCI slots in companion. Maybe you could add one ISA/PCI slot for an X86 SBC.
