A C= A4091 SCSI controller! Now isn't that sweet? The real C= one, not the rebranded DKB... :)

And got my new server running, finally had a little time to spare, in between the cooking and visiting family and stuff :)

What's the difference between C= and DKB? Mine had a DKB box, but the Installdisk and the card itself were lablled C=.

CD32 with 8 games! Now I need to find a SX32(?) to go with it!

I'm just getting back into the Amiga scene, my comp. back in the 90s was an A500, man I have fond memories.

Thanks to everyone here, btw, for a vibrant forum. Happy Holidays and a Prosperous New Year.

Hi, I just got an old 100MB Zip Drive (SCSI) from my dad for my miggy, not too exiting, but I had stupidly deleted some progs. from my HD, and after (?) years in storage, my Zip disks still worked! Seriously it saved my A**, I even had WalkerHD on one of those disks...Sweet! May God bless all of you, and hope you had a great Christmas.

I got some fairly geeky gifts, although they aren't computer related as such.
:-)

Books:
Haruki Murakami - A Wild Sheep Chase
Haruki Murakami - Dance, Dance, Dance
Manga:
Vampire Game vol. 1+2
Demon Diary vol. 2

A bottle of mjød, some furniture and a microwave oven. Not a bad harvest at all ^_^

Hi all, Happy Christmas!

Nothing Amiga related and the only computery thing overall was a mouse mat with a picture of my 4-month old son on it!

Plenty of Doctor Who stuff :-) Radio Controlled Dalek, novels, annual etc etc.

Most things were for the baby from doting Grand Parents! Ahhhh.

i got myself a new car  :-D

it's a Renault 19 16v from 1993, this old evil car has a 1.8i 16 valve engine with 155 horse power and the car weighs in at 1073 Kilo
0-100 Km/h in 8 seconds flat,top speed 220 KM/h, it has racing suspension,clutch ,exhaust and close ratio gearbox.
the exterior has an air scoop in the hood,side skirts ,spoiler,15" aluminium rimms.
It has power windows,mirrors and steering (mirrors are also heated  :-D )central door locking with remote control,onboard computer,digital display for fuel tank etc...
And all that was factory standard back in the day! :-o


it's amazing what you can buy these days with little money.
the amazing part is that the car only drove 130.000 KM totally in it's life and still looks&feel as new!
