Post by: balrogsoft on March 23, 2006, 09:57:44 AM
Hi, i have my A600 almost complete, i bought on december the A600, it was broken two weeks after receive, then i bought an A600 motherboard, it have some fails, the bright of the screen change when the contains change, the power input have some problems, when i move it the A600 make a reset. Then i bought another A600 motherboard three days ago, i hope that it will work nice.

I have my A600 well equiped, i bought this things for the A600, KS 37.350, WB 2.1, 512MB 2.5 HD, 2Mb Chip Ram, 2Mb pcmcia Fast Ram, CF pcmcia reader, RGB-Scart cable.

I have my old A1200 since 1993, with a Blizzard 1230 with math coprocessor, SCSI kit, 48 Mb of Ram, 1.6GB 3.5" HD. That is enough for games like Gloom, Xtreme Racing, ...

Some days ago, i was playing with a friend with its old SNES, but some friends don't know what is an Amiga, now my goal is bought a CD32, it is perfect to put on a bag and go to friends house for a retro night, i have some CD32 games and a CD32 pad that i bought for my A1200. Is interesting buy a CD32 nowadays?

I have decided to buy a cd32, i just bought it on ebay. It is a little expensive, i bought with the option buy now, i saw the final prices of cd32 auctions, and are about 60 to 70 eur., and i bought for 79 eur.

blimey, that reminds me... i got my CD32 in a drawer, with a load of games i got from ISO's off of BTTR ages ago...
might get it out this weekend but the dust off it.

i'd love an SX32pro50 for it though  ;-)

Was the CD32 sold / marketed much down under?

I never see any for sale on the auction websites in NZ... Wouldn't mind one though! Should have bought one while I was still in the UK, I guess!

Some Amiga items are difficult to find, i found an 2mb pcmcia memory card (i found really 3 memory cards on four months, but 2 of them was sold with an high price, i bought with buy now option with a better price), and after buy it, i didn't see another memory card.

I read on Dave Hainey movie of Commodore last days than on christmas of 94, Commodore had money for 100000 CD32 only, and they might survive with 400000 CD32.
