Hello everyone ;)
Been lurking around for a while before making this post. Im not entirely new to the Amiga scene, having bought my first one (a500) in 1990. However, I switched (from my 1200/ppc tower) to pc around 1999 for various reasons, and my whole commodore collection started collecting dust.. :|
Now that I've moved to a bigger house in Amsterdam, I finally have the time and space to have another look.. So far I have sold various c64's and an a500+, and still have some other things for sale. I have decided to keep my a500, 4040 and a1200t, but I need a new powerpc (240mhz,060) board since the old one blew up. I also have the 3 'general' c64 models, a plus/4, c16, c128d and various consoles. As you may understand, I kindly refused an a3000 and a2000, due to lack of space.. :|
For what its worth, I dont 'believe' in amigaone, os4 or anything like that. For me Amiga = 68k/ppc. I have a very fast pc for all the regular things I need to do and I dont think the Amiga (as we know it) will ever have the future it deserved, due to various reasons.
My main interests for the Amiga are:
-general workbench usage (COZ IT IS TEH FUN!!!!!11)
-IRC
-demoscene
-protracker
-gaming
Thats about it!

Hello and welcome back.

Welcome back!

Jippie! Nog meer Nederlanders!
Welcome back!
Any chance I'll be seeing you next saturday (21st) on the HCC retro-show in Maarssen?

AmigaOne is PPC.

Believe me when I say; even in Amsterdam you can keep all models of Amiga :)
But welcome!
-
even in Amsterdam you can keep all models of Amiga :)
Not ALL of them, I see you're missing the A1000 :-D (but if you want one, I probably can help you there pretty soon :-) )
-
Sorry, actually I have two :) Just not mentioned on the site yet :)
-
Not even mentioned in your sig!
You sir, are a slow person! :lol:
-
Thanks all ;)
No Im afraid I wont make it to Maarssen this weekend, though Ive been there a few years ago and had a great time :) I will be there some other time, promised.
About AmigaOne, ofcourse I meant classic Amiga expanded with a 603/604 board, no new hardware for me. Not even mediator or anything like that.
Of all Amiga's mentioned, the only one Im still looking for is a nice expanded a600, to use in the living room.
Last, Tahoe, where do you live in Amsterdam? And uhm, when will you be picking up the a1200 cases you wanted? :madashell: :lol:
(yes, thats me!)

hi and welcome back to the fold.
if your old ppc has blown up then why not send it to
the amiga centre in france to see if they can fix it :-)
as they dont charge for inspection.
-
because I hadnt heard of it until a few months ago.. and I already sold the broken board to someone who probably has a working one by now :)
nah, I doubt they were able to fix it, a lot of pins were broken..
-
Welkom! :pint:

Hi and welcome to amiga.org! :-)
I also have the 3 'general' c64 models, a plus/4, c16, c128d ...
I once owned a Commodore C-128 D as well before I bought my first Amiga. It looked a little bit like the Amiga 1000 that was released almost at the same time. ... ahh, this brings back memories ... :cry:
Are these computers still in good shape and do you still use them?

Er, about that A3k, is that still up for grabs somewhere? ;-)

I imagine Amiga shows in the Netherlands looking something like this...

Welcome back! Bet you're glad you didn't sell all your Amigas!!! A much better idea just to store them!

Hyperspeed: lol.. not sure where you come from, but please get rid of those prejudices :P There have been quite a few Amiga parties over here, though I kinda forgot their names.. Ofcourse this was all back in the early nineties..
Waran: I recently tested all my hardware, and to my surprise they all worked pretty fine, even the 128d. Unfortunately, I stored them in dust-free boxes and will probably not use them a lot.. My c64-2 is on my desk though, aswell as the a1200t and the pc. Pictures will arrive soon. I do have a problem with my vic20, it has a strange video/output connector, for which I dont have a cable. I expected it to have a normal rf-out like the c64, but it hasnt.
Odin: Hoi! ;) Its probably still up for grabs, but its in bad condition. It does have a (once) very expensive framegrabber and harddrive. Perhaps I will pick it up, perhaps I will not :) The A2000 really was too bulky, they threw it away. :/
