I'm writing a paper of the use of different system architectures: I'm interested to know what systems (& specs) you guys/gals have, and what role it plays in your household/business/network.
Thank you for your time and effort - to all those who post.

I have:
Amiga 1000 -- I don't use this one much, as it is one of the first few built and I don't want to damage it. When I do use it, I normally use it for some demos to impress friends.
Pegasos -- My primary machine. Use it for everything but a handful of games and my HDL work. It comes with:
Voodoo3 3000
TV card, used to record my shows
G3-600, all I need for a CPU
-
PS// Preferrably Amigas only ;)
Do clones/alternatives count or are you sticking with Commodore produced hard/stoft-ware? I have a Pegasos G3-600, 256Meg, 40Gig HD, CD, Catweasel yadda yadda yadda that I use for general computing, web surfing, IRC, games ETC.
-
I have an A3000D 040/25 that I use from time to time around the shop.
My main machine though has become the Pegasos G3-600 which is becoming
a fantastic machine for everyday use.
:-)
-
Once I had an A500, but now I have an A1200 with some add-ons. I don't use it anymore though, it's in a closet.
I also have a Pegasos, which is my primary "Amiga" these days. I use it for pretty much everything I used my old Amigas for, and more! :-)
-
I have to many amigas to list them all so ill just list some .
1, a1200 tower with ppc and graphics card and cd writer was used for games and even net browsing when i first had dial up internet and printing of pictures from my digital camera needs bufered ide interface repairing or replacing.
2,commodore cdtv used for older a500 games and i use it as my audio cd player it can be used with my mas player hardware mp3 decoder.
3.a1000 not used bought it as collectors item .
4,a4000 tower genuine bought needing repair will get fixed soon
5.a4000 desktop motherboard plus cyberstorm 060 plus keyboard and case bought fom difrent people on ebay and amibench still waiting for some of these items will be used for games art and graphics.about 5 machines worth of bits from 5 difrent people all to be built back as one machine .
6.amigaone g4 xe running debian linux untill os 4 comes out at the moment it will just be something to mess around with till i get os 4.
ill stop here or i will be here hours.
:-)

I can tell you what I USED to use it for before my motherboard died a year and a half ago:
My setup was:
Amiga 4K, 128 Megs of RAM
PPC processor with extra 060/50
Prelude Sound Card (I think I found the LAST one in the free world)
Cybergraphix video card
Some ethernet card...
I used it to record CDs (I DJ a bit). The prelude had EXCELLENT sound quality with a lot of inputs. I was planning to get into song production, but for some reason Prostation Audio would NOT work properly with my soundcard and AHI.
It sat on my network with 2 PCs and a Sega Dreamcast. I used the amiga as my main machine. I used the windows machines for stuff like... pages that Ibrowse wouldn't load correctly. I also used the PC for a few apps like Money.
I used the dreamcast for games. At that time, it was ALL Phantasy Star Online :-)
All machines were networked and could access each other's hard drives and they shared one printer.
T'was a nice setup, but alas...

At home I have an A3000D with Spectrum & X-Serf. Currently needs work so I use a Suse Linux box ATM.
At work I have a 1987 A2000 w/ 060, ethernet, Catewasel & Video Toaster; an A4000D with Toaster & ethernet; a spare A2000 040 with Toaster & Ami-Link video editor; & an A4000T PPC/060 with Toaster & Flyer for non-linier editing, plus Catweasel & ethernet.

I use my A4000T as my web server and I read Email on it. Do some web surfing from time to time on there as well. My A500 is for games and older software that won't run on the A4000. Info about the hardware set of my systems can be found here - http://mikerye.homeip.net/about_my_computers.html (http://mikerye.homeip.net/about_my_computers.html)

Ive been selling a good deal of my Classics lately but i still have quite a lot of them around wich sees litle or no usage after i got the Pegasos in house but i do use the A4000T/060/+++ as a dynamite server (everyone should check out this litle addictive game if they havent) and my gf uses another A4000D/060 to play dynamite on! sometimes i flick on the A1200/030 to view some old demos but thats it! as for the Amigas in my closet black A4000D prototype/CD32 prototype/A1000/etc theyre just collecting dust for the time beeing as well as the other miggys im to tierd to list up! even though its not interesting i do have a zillion PCs as well one of them running AROS.
-
Well, I have an A1200T with 040 accelerator, three desktop A1200HDs, an A600HD, a Checkmate Digital A1500 and my very first Amiga, my A500...
And what do I use them for?
Well, that's a good question. I essentially only use the A1200T and A500. They are used for general tinkering, Blitz basic programming (although I might switch to a miggy to do all my C++ programming as well, as the laptop I use with Borland is nearing retirement), the occasional game and OctaMED. Oh, and if I'm feeling nostalgic, I occasionally drag out a demo.
The other computers I'm in the process of fixing up and ebaying....I need the space (plus the fact I'm moving abroad to work in September! Doh!)
-
I've got 5 A1200
My primary 1200 I use for Graphic designing and pixelating both for work/buisness and for fun and spare time, I still think that the Amiga is one of the most brilliant graphic machines to work on. Machintosh is always said to be better but I stick to my 1200... :-)
(I actually got one for free today!)
The specs: (I love this blattering :-))
1. Towered Escom A1200
Blizzard 68060 @50 MHz
1.5 + 30 GB HD, CD-RW. IDE-fix.
Mediator w/ Voodoo3 3000, Ehternet, Spider II USB, Sound Blaster of some sort.
A 19" Monitor so I can see where my pixels is flying. Wireless Keyboard and mouse. A modem.
OS 3.9...
The rest of my Ami's is for playing around with.
Got one sat up for LAN Networking soon. Proberbly one is going to be a server when I get faster Internet... :-)
But it's the only computers I have and I'm intending to stick with them as long as possible.
No PC's what so ever...

I don't have a classic Amiga any more, but my last machine was an A4000 with CSPPC/060, 162MB RAM, 40GB HD, CDRW, Mediator, Voodoo 3 3000, Hauppauge WinTV, Vlab, and a bunch of other stuff.
I used it for Internet, playing games, coding, and pretty much everything else. It was my main computer.
I sold it 9 months ago to get money for the "soon to be released" AmigaOne/OS4.
Now I have a 17" 1Ghz G4 iMac (which occasionally runs MaxUAE for developing on), a 900Mhz G3 iBook, and a 600Mhz G3 Pegasos (used for internet, software development and so on). I will get a Pegasos II soon.
-
Systems I have floating around:
CDTV: Just used for a cd player at the moment.
CD32: Closet
1200: 68060@50/PPC@240,Mediator with Voodoo 3, NIC, powerflyer gold (ide interface), elbox tower
4000: 68060@50/PPC@200,Mediator with Voodoo 4, NIC, USB, SB128 and TV. FastATA ide controller. elbox tower.
Pegasos: Only thing in it is Voodoo 3.
-
I have a A1200 with a DCE 060 BVisionPPC, which I borrowed to a friend whose A4000 died some time ago.
I also have a Pegasos which is the only computer in the house: so I use it for practically everything you can imagine :-)
-
A1200/Blizzard1260/ScanDoubler/Melody1200Pro - My hobby machine at home
A1200/BlizzardPPC/BlizzVision/Keyboard addapter/External IDE connector/Monostereo switch and extra phono connectors/Mouce-Joy swich/PCMCIA NIC - All in original A1200 desctop case, my little hardhack machine at the clubhouse
A4000T/040/PrometeusPCI/Piccolo/Video Red. Card/Vlab Digitizer/TrumpCard SCSI/IOExtender - My tower project at the clubhouse
A3000/IOBlix with Ethernet module/ExtraMem - Used for nothing much... but it's pritty where it also stand in the clubhouse
A2000/2090a/AGA2000/ExtraMem - Demomachine in the clubhouse
A1200/ExtraMem - A machine I resently bought just so that I can give it away to try make an Amigan out of my GF's lil'brother. :-)
A1200/A1200/A2000/A4000/Misc spex - "Left overs" that I'm trying/in process to selling. ;-)
A500/A1200/A3000/Misc spex - Dead or dying machines that I'm saving for spares or to when I get around to fix them so they can be sold. :-o
Amigas is my pachion and are used mostly for hardware projects and games but the primarily reason I use the Amiga is due to all the friends in the comunity and the Amiga club here where I live (where I'm on the board).
-
I have one a1200 with a 4meg expansion card
that is connected to a big tv
where I and others play cool games from time to time.
I use another 1200T with a 060/50 for;
surfing, emailing, gaming, ircing, drawing,
playing all kinds of formates of music,
programming in amiblitz2 with a mission
to make games with playability
and also to make artificial intelligence
that learns, in wich I have progressed well.
If you are making a game with excellent/good playability,
but you need gfx, then contact me,
and I'll make gfx for free!!
Because games with playability and originality
are rare these days...
-
A1G3-SE at 750Mhz running SUSE Linux 7.3 + KDE 3.1 OOo 1.01 etc,etc. UAE for e-mail, PageStream 4.1, DrawStudio. Also acts as gateway/firewall and file/print server to laptop and 2 Winboxes
A1200 + PPC/CV64 + various bits, used occasionally for DTP and games.
-
I have an a1200 with a 060 128mb with scsi2,i got my mediato sx today and my voodoo 3000 yesterday which needs to be put together.Im just waiting on my monitor to come through,its the only machine i use.
-
well I have an A1200, you can see the specs here (http://www.ryusworld.webhop.net/myamiga.html) I also have a P120 PC, so my amiga gets used for everything except the very occasional website and a bit of kazaa. Its used for CD burning, graphic design, word processing, mp3 playback, a bit of demo watching, mpeg viewing, lots of IRC'ing, odd bit of game playing, just the typical computer usage really :-)
-
I've two stock A500's (wb 1.2 & 1.3) plus an A1200 HDD.
My main system is my A1200 with 40Mhz '040, OS3.9, Mediator etc...... which is now ripe for replacement!
I'm waiting for OS4 to appear before I make up my mind, but all the usual solutions are being carefully considered and the advantages/disadvantages are weighed up.
Oh, and for gaming I've got a PS2 :-D
-
Besides the one in my signature I have:
A3000D - A3640 (the 040 has been replaced with a QuadDoubler), FastlaneZ3 w/64mb ram, PicassoIV, Concierto, PabloIV, PalomaIV, A2232, Emplant Deluxe w/e586 module, 2x HD floppies, 850mb SCSI HD, OS3.5 80mb fast ram, 2mb chip
A3000UXD - A3640, A2091, A2232, 2x 300 md HD, DD floppy, A3070, AMIX 16 mb fast ram 2mb chip
A1200 - Towerhawk w/zorro slots, Blizzard A1230 w/SCSI, Delfina DSP, Spectrum 24/28, Multiface III, Emplant Deluxe w/e586 module, Highway USB w/ Norway ethernet, 30 GB HD, 12x SCSI CD, TEAC CDRW, SCSI Zip drive, 44mb Syquest drive, SCSI 5 1/4" tape drive OS3.5 64 mb fast ram 2mb chip
A1200 - Infinitive(sp?) Tower, Apollo 1260, 500mb HD, DD floppy, 32x CD OS3.1 32mb fast ram 2 mb chip
A500 MTec 68020, ECS, DD floppy, OS3.1 4mb fast ram 1mb chip
A500 ancient!! OS1.2 1/2 mb chip
A1000 stock
I do my web surfing, email, and site updating from my 1200 power tower when I'm home.
I've used my machines to emulate various lab instruments and PBXs for work. I've also used the higher end ones to process VERY large mail lists and merges.
Right now I'm just fiddling around with some ideas for some new business software.
-
I've got an A1200 030/40 which I try to use for anything that doesn't need the horsepower or internet connection of the PC - wordprocessing, "classic" games and simple games, some BASIC programming etc...
-
I use my A1200 For image processing.
Admittedly not very often these days, but when I do use it ... It gets me out of the sh1t.
For example .... I video weddings ... I am given a lot of stills of the couple growing up.... Some of these are inevitably "Portait mode"...
ie: turn the camera sideways.... Well thats ok for a still ...bloody disasterous for tv !!
So now alter the aspect but "retain" the aspect ... if you get what I mean.
Dead easy on an Amiga .. A HELL of a lot of fart arsing around in photoshop.
YES ..Photoshop will do a better job if you spent a sh1t load of time getting it right .... Bollox to that..
Just do it !!
Amiga just Does it!![/b].
I also morph some of those images on my Amiga to get them to "grow up" in front of your eyes ... Finally turning into a still of them from my vid cam in which they "come alive".
All good fun.

The 3 (Read: 11) Amigas
My Amigas
1. A1200T w/ Blizz060/SCSI, XSurf, PicassoII, DelfinaLite. 4.7Gb hard drive, HD floppy, CDRW/DVD drives. ZIP250 and Syquest135 on the SCSI chain. This is my primary machine. I get email, surf the web, host my website, word process, play games, process images, and encode my CD collection to mp2. It's also the dock for my digital camera and will be accompanying me to college in a few months (along with an awful PC laptop for dire compatibility emergencies).
2. CD32. Used for, amazingly enough, CD32 stuff. Expanded with SX-1 and FMV card. This is my other games machine. CD32 software is great because it never suffers from compatibility problems like the old disk-based stuff. Reassigning NonVolatile to the harddrive removes the classic save game troubles.
3. A1200D. This one's a fixer-upper. It needs ROMs, disk drives, keyboard... er... Everything, come to think of it. Just a motherboard in a case at the moment. This will be a luggable machine eventually.
4. A1XE-G4. It "runs" Linux, but is essentially offline until OS4 is released.
Other Amigas in my house
5. A4000D. PPC/060, PicassoIV, DelfinaPlus, IOExtender. Me dad's machine. Not seeing much use until OS4 is released.
6. A3000D. Offline, new components need to be installed. Used in mixing studio.
7. A500. Trapdoor RAM has died, along with clock. Also part of the mixing studio.
8. A2000. Basement storage.
9. CD32. Another one. Not hooked up. Also has an SX-1.
10. A1XE-G4. Another. Unlike me, my dad can actually use Linux, so this is his primary machine.
11. A600. It's small. It's not here yet.
-
I love these sort of threads :-)
AmigaOne G3SE with 512Mb registered DIMM added, running at an adequate 600 MHz. Once OS4 comes this computer will be all I need for practically anything.. but for now I just play with Linux on it every now and again. have a tinker with the hardware.
Amiga 1200 with 170Mb hard drive installed with OS 3.1 hooked up to a trusty old 1084S monitor. use for old games and a few old apps i like to play with
Amiga 500 with 1Mb. In the loft but whenever I use it (hardly ever anymore) its for games which wont run on the 1200.
I would like more Amigas though!
-
Hi!
I've an A1200 self-towerized, with:
- Blizzard 060/50MHz, 16MB FastRam
- 4.3GB IBM HD
- AmigaOS 3.5 =)
- DIY MIDI Interface
- Fast Serial Interface (Silver Surfer, on clock interface)
- Power Flyer MKII (ULTRA-ATA 66 Interface for A1200)
- Serial Mouse Adapter (Punchinello MKII) with his mice.. =)
- A2000 original Keyboard
- VGA adapter with Olivetti 15'' Flat CRT Monitor
- 32x CD-ROM
- ...
I use my Amy 4 MIDI composing with the wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, and so wonderful B&P Pro and my GeneralMusic S3 Workstation, YAMAHA QY70, YAMAHA MD4s, SoundTracks TOPAZ 12-4 mixer, etc.. =)
I also have an A2000, a C64 but I don't use these machines...
Various peeceeessss, 386, 486.....
And an Athlon900 w Wonzozz2k, i use it 4 audio composing, php/mysql dev, ecc ecc ecc...
I'm waiting OS4.........and a decent audio/midi sw (B&P PPC and ProStationAudio are my choices...)
So...sorry 4 my long post and 4 my bad english..
keep on the good work!
=)

I have 2 A1200Ds;
My main machine;
Blizzard 060/64MHz with 32Mb, SCSI Kit with Iomega 2Gb Jaz connected for backup. HP Laserjet 2100 as printer and until recently had a Silversurfer attached for browsing the web. Now have decided that surfing is too frustrating with an Amiga and use my work laptop (IBM Thinkpad A31) for this.
Second machine;
Blizzard 1230/50MHz with 32Mb.
Both are OS3.9 and I use them mainly for MIDI sequencing with OctaMED SS on the 060 and either Bars & Pipes or Sequencer One on the other - synced together to give 32 MIDI channels.
-
Through the 80s and 90s I had several Amigas (100,500, and 2000) which were for recreation only.
It wasn't feasable to bring them with me to the US. I currently keep an A2000 with video toaster and 2 TBC's. I use it only for live switching on dual camera shoots. Pretty soon it will be replaced by GV switching board.
Siggy

Thanks for the posts. Its much appreciated - and may I also say the two sites that were linked are also of excellent value - nice pictures and specs. Thanks again. I'm still interested to hear of others, and amiga clones are perfectly exceptable.

denada!

I use my Pegasos for almost everything, and used my PPC Amiga before that. The only time I bother booting my PC is to do work on Office or play Alpha Centauri. Or to remind myself what a slow system was like. ;-)
-
A bit late but here goes:
My main Amiga is a 4000D '040 @ 40 MHz (Warp Engine), with an Adriande II (I hope I spelt that right) ethernet, and about 128 Megabytes of RAM, and a 4 gigabyte Harddrive, 4x CD-ROM. I use it for Wordworth, Photogenics, MindGuard :) and some other stuff I can't remember right now. Poor things been run through the mill a bit, and has some trouble booting at odd times now, but overall runs quite well. Standard AGA graphics aren't the best but I can live with it.
I also have a bog standard 2000 that I've for years. Used to use it for games, and a bit of programming. My Dad bought it, originally, but he doesn't give a damn about computers, so he hardly ever used it. Kickstart 1.3. Still runs great, except for the floppy drive.
Then the last two are a pair of 500s, rev 6 and 5. One still works and the other has RAM problems (if I read the colour errors right). Both have a full megabyte via clone expansions. I need to work on the RAM cards tho', as they both had leaking batteries, that I removed, but didn't nutralize. Traces are probibly all burnt up now. Pity. Play lots of old games on'em, especially Lemmings.
If I need to do any surfing or the like, I've an SUN Ultra 1, as I can't stand Intel's hardware, and I'm too poor to afford either a Aone or Pegasos.

@Clark
$299 is too much for a Pegasos motherboard?
-
I have the A3000T and use it all the time, I have a CAM that I use at work to record problems during the day, PLUMBING and dump it to the PAR via TBC4, then I grab what I need and EMail to customers with cost of repairs, use Scala for intro and have a give verbal information via Delfina PLUS, I believe doing more with less. What makes this so great is I have the computer I always wanted. If anyone out there has spare parts like CIA's or motherboards, disk drives I'm always looking I need to have spares for break downs, and I'm no longer afraid to take it apart, I think my warranty is up?

I have one of pretty much every Amiga model, except the CD32, CDTV and A600.
My workhorse machine is an A2000 w/Blizzard 2060. It runs a BBS and is my home LAN gateway machine.
My favourite machine is the A3000D which now sports a CV64/3D and 040 processor.
I also have Amithlon running on a Pentium 3 @ 600Mhz. Used to run it on my Athlon 2000, but since I put the GForce 4 card into the big box, Amithlon fails to show a screen. It was easier to just move it's HDD over to the P3.
Cache Ya,
Craig.
-
I've got an A500 and A3000 that are pretty much stock and haven't been used in a long, long time, and I'm putting together a Pegasos in an aluminum space frame kinda thing. So far I'm using the Peg to help my kids learn what goes into a computer; when everything's wired up, we'll see what it can do. I'm expecting good things. :-)

i have 2 miggys, (3 if you include the broken one!)
1 x a1200 (escom - bog standard)
1 x a500 with 1mb mem upgrade
my a2k had 8mb ram, some accelerator (cant remember which),PC converter card, 2x hdd's, genlock, lots of other bits that sit there doing not a lot :-p
oh yeah
i have a pee see too :-p
-
I have A4000/060 in Mirage 4000 Pro with Voodoo5, SB4.1 and 10/100 NIC. I use it as my main computer to do everything I need, except for banking because I can't log in with IBrowse.
-
(http://home.iprimus.com.au/vortexau/IMAGES5/SCSItower.jpg)
I use an A2000 with Blizzard2060, 2Mb Chip, 64Mb Fast, PicassoII connected to a SCSI Tower containing four HDDs. A HP 4c flatbed and a dead Zip drive are also in the chain. A switchbox connects a Citizen GSX240 dot matrix and a HP840c DeskJet for printing. An external 1760k DD handles the floppies.
I web-browse, email, and manage my site on 56k.
Use TVPaint, ImageFX, PPaint for graphics processing. Run mostly OS3.5, but ocassionally drop back to OS3.1
Am presently awaiting delivery of an AmigaOneXE:

That all fits together nicely on that desk, John.
Your'll have to put your scsi rack under the desk so your A1 can sit in its place !!
-
A1200 with Blizzard 1240 /40mhz , Blizzard Scsi kit (Scsi2) .
Use it to burn some CDs, try some share/freeware off of aminet, learn programming (hoppy), play mp3s, do some gfx work. Ah and play some games, but that's rare.
Thinking about following the official path and buy an AmigaOne in the fufure with AmigaOS4 for the same use.
-
I have
2x A 500s
1x A 500+
1x A1200 with viper 030/50 64Mb Ram, Surf Squirrel Fast SCSI and serial external SCSI burner 4GB Hdd
1x A4000b 040/40 with Z3 Fastlane Fast SCSI card 32 MB ram installed (all in repair, not working atm)
-
I have an a1200t, with a blizzard 030/50 overclocked to 60Mhz, 32mb ram, an old 1.4 gig Quantum bigfoot hard disk, CDROM, PCMCIA ethernet, os3.9.
I have a PIcassoII and a micronic busboard waiting to go in (a1200 is miles away from me atm). I never really use this machine now, it's just for geekiness. I'm thinking about getting an 060 card and/or a soundcard later on.
-
I have 3 toaster/flyer setups for video work, 2 3000's one of which has a vlab/motion for video work. The other has a genlock on it. Also have several 2000's one of which keep all our recorde and does booking.
Apps include Final Writer, Turbocalc, Service Industry Accounting, and final Data among others. We also use a GVP Phone Pak in a 2000.

Well i have some amigas ;)
1. One A3000 i got from a customer who retired. Nothing fancy.
2. One A4000, but the cybervision 64 3d seems to be broken.. ;-/
3. One A1200 030/50 32mb, Melody 1200 Pro Mp3-decoder/encoder, works primarily as a mp3-recorder and a streaming audio machine atm.
4. One 1200 030/50 @ work, mainly there to make me feel happy, and running demos when inspiration is lacking.
5. WinUAE (does that count?) , mainly used for software development using StormC 4, and GCC..
Also running webserver with Mysql and Php, telnet server etc on it (the a1200 that is)
Also softwares as PPaint, PerfectPaint, ArtPro, and such makes life easier too..
-
It's like asking bees if they like sugar :-)
Got an A1200 with 060 50MHz 64MB a 20GB HDD. Also got a mediator plus Voodoo3 in store since I managed to kill the external keyboard which is a necessity in order to use the previus (arrgh!).
I think I managed to convince (read: serius begging) a friend to lend me his, since he's mostly using Linux anyway.
I use my A1200 to write on, surf (IB2.3), e-mail (Yam), make drawings and illustrations (PPaint), programming (StormC, AMOSPro). Well, lot's of things. Except gaming, 24-bit image processing and raytracing. That's what I have my x86 for. XP2000+, FSB 266MHz, 512MB DDR, Matrox Parhelia 512, built-in AC97. Ha! Too late.
(edit)
And I'm waiting for AOS4.0 to be released, then I'm gonna get myself an A1.
(/edit)

I have an A3000D converted to a tower and an A500.
I got the A500 in 1990 to replace my C= 64. It was my only computer until late 1996. I then upgraded to an A3000 because the 'net was unbearable on the 500.
I used the 3000 for general computing (i.e. network apps, games, ect.) until 2000. At the end my 3k was outfitted with a CSPPC 233/50, Picasso IV, and a X-Surf card.
In 2000, I got a K6-2 PC running Win98 for course work (i.e. word processing, simulations, programming) things that couldn't be done on the Amiga. I used the 3k for everything else.
However, last October, the 3k got VERY flakey and I don't have time to troubleshoot the hardware. So, I have a WinXP machine I use for network apps and my wife uses for games. I also have a P3 Win2k laptop and (two heads are better than one!) an Athlon XP Win2k machine I use for course work. I ditched the K6-2 sometime back in 2001....I think.

@Samuar
My primary AmigaOS box, is a WinUAE-JIT with AmigaOS 3.9 (+ boing ball 1) on the Athlon XP ~2.1Ghz/nForce II 400 Ultra/512Mb PC3200 DDR SDRAM. Connected to Dobby Digital 5.1 set-up. My use of AmigaOS is just for leisure purpose only i.e. getting a time off from Win32 based development.
I have an unused Amiga 3000D with 16Mb RAM, Kickstart 3, 030 @25Mhz, 882 @50Mhz (over clocked) and two Amiga 500 (rev 5 and 6A).
I’m probably a good target for Alan’s AmigaOne (with AOS 4.0) lite leisure computing target.... .

voxel - you have a very impressive collection. You considered starting an online museum with pictures, specs etc? I imagine it would be of large interest to the amiga community.
-
Like many here, I have several Amiga systems as well. You can find all their specs on my site.
http://www.geocities.com/irperez/
It just lists all of my machines, maybe I will update the site with some specific uses of each machine. I can summerize them as follows: A4000 (basic usage), A1200 (Games/webserver), CD32 (games), CDTV (CDPlayer), A500/A2000 (Museum pieces).

:¬) Sorry, could not resist. But surely something similar must be what the vast majority of "Amiga users" today are running? What I really wanted, back in 1992 or so, was the A1200. Somehow it never happened though. I still look out for them now, but I won't pay the silly prices I often see them being advertized at. And to be fair, I don't look THAT hard. After all, it's basically just a collectable now.
-
Like most here, I have a number of Amigas in my collection. A3000-primary machine, A1200, A500 w/A570, another w/Supra XP, and one with a GVP expansion, A600 for portable use, and an A1000.
In addition there are number of Windows, Macs, and older machines (Hp's original Hp-85, Apple IIc, several Ataris, a ZX-81) My oldest son is a Linux fanatic (fanatisism might run in my family). The modern machines are useful for downloading Mp3s, and those several times when I need compatibility with the Windows world. My Amigas are easily the most enjoyable and logically elegant machines to use. The others serve in a supporting role when I'm forced to use them.
-
Me too ....
O.k. got an A2000 with 2630@32mhz that was my main/only Amiga for about 6years
(had an Blizzard2060 at the end).
Not in use today.
A AthlonXP with Amithlon, which pretty much replaced it in 2001.
Today used for general net-stuff (under Linux)
An 4000 with lots of bits and parts I bought in early 02 (was just a too good deal to resist).
has been used for playing ToT and email for a while, but is now idle.
Since Oct 2002 I got a Pegasos, which I only use for coding and ToT.
Plus Knights&Merchants if I ever find the time again ..
-
Broken, some have parts to fix others don't
3xA1200 ( mostly screwed up mobos from the line below )
2xBlizzardPPC cards ( 200(?), 240 )
4xA500 ( one is a plus )
1xA4000/040
Working but disused
1xA1200 in a tower running AOS3.5 with ZIV and PicassoIV.
1xA1500 no expansion, AOS1.3
Working, in use
1xA1200 with Mediator, Voodoo, BlizzardPPC240/060 etc etc trimmings ... running AOS4.0 (beta)
1xAthlon XP2100 running Amiga Forever
1xThinkpad X21 running UAE on Linux Mandrake 9.1
And plenty of kit given away, some sharing, but thats whats in the same house as I am residing this week.
Then theres lots of non Amiga kit that don't run anything to do with Amigas ;-)

hm, missed this thread before
got this:
CDTV + floppydrive and keyboard+mouse (all stylish cdtv black)
I use it primarily for playing my music cd's, but also for playing games :-)
CD32
I use this one primarily for playing games :-)
A500 +a590 hd and 1mb memory expansion
Also primarily for playing games :-)
A1200 (plain)
this one's gathering dust atm :-( (I still have to find a nidce place for this one)
I still want to have a Pegasos, for more serious business, but I can't afford it atm (still primarily using a 5yo Pentium 2 350 :-()
-
I Have a Pegasos II that is used for most of my computing.
An A1200 for programs that the peg won't run (custom chip dependent ).
Two A500's to run old games (mostly collecting dust)

Lessee... I've got:
A4000D, 040/25MHz, 1 64MB card on CF2IDE as Workbench, 1 4GB IDE as Applications and Games, and 1 10GB SCSI as Storage on a fully populated GVP 4008, Compaq SCSI CDROM, 16MB Fast, 2MB Chip, External SCSI ZIP drive, Sega Genesis game pad, Lyra keyboard adapter, New-style OEM replacement mouse, 1950 monitor
A2000HD, stock, fully populated GVP 2008, 1GB SCSI HDD, unknown cartrige-style 1x CDROM. Currently disabled due to the FDD being in the A4000D (my 1.44MB drive needs microswitches).
2 A1200 Boards, currently non-functional
A500 on permanent loan... Some sort of RAM upgrade in the expansion slot, haven't looked at it closely tho. I borrowed it to work on the A1200 boards, needed the PSU. Guy moved and I haven't seen him since. *shrug*
And of course the ever presesnt WinUAE with all the trimmings. Used the KS from my A4000D, since it's the only one with a v3.1 ROM.
-
@voxel
Impressive!! I thought I had it bad...errrr....good.
A4000D, 128MB RAM, Cyberstorm '060 MK1 w/SCSI, Prometheus w/VooDoo3 3000, 18GB 10,000RPM SCSI, Pioneer IDE DVD Rom, RTL8029 Nic, Phase 5 scandoubler from CV64/3d (yes, alone), KickFlash OS4 (45.57 kickstart removes IDE boot delay).... Web browse, Newsgroups, Storm C (learning!), email, whdload.
A3000D, 128MB RAM, Cyberstorm '060 MK2, A4091 SCSI, Prometheus w/VooDoo3 2000, RTL8029 Nic, 4GB 7200RPM SCSI... Ditto from above, except the whdload.. Machine seems alot faster/smoother than above (?!)
A2000, Megachip 2mb, 128MB RAM, TekMagic '060 50MHZ, 4GB 10000RPM SCSI, Amber Scandoubler & Picasso II+, ASDG Dual Serial board, C= Ethernet Nic w/10baseT adaptor... This box is just sitting here gathering dust. The Zorro II limitations make it feel much slower than the other boxes, no matter the video card, which have spoiled me ;) so I don't use it much anymore.
A4000D, 16mb RAM, A3640 @40mhz, Picasso IV, ASDG EB920 Nic, 40MB IDE HD and Creative 8X DVD Rom... Lots and lots of Whdload!!!! AIBB tells me this box is waaaay slower than an A4000/25, probably something to do with the 40mhz overclock and jumpering on the motherboard.
A1200D, 32mb RAM, Apollo 1260LC/75 @ 50mhz.... Web browse ;), email, and lots and lots of whdload, baby!!!
A500 X 3, A2000 X 2.... Gathering dust.
A1200 in parts... Will be resurrected soon and headed for eBay.
I was hit hard by this bug and have had alot of fun assembling this collection. I'll probably be slimming it down soon considering I've just about experienced it all ;).

Just sitting there waiting for a bigger hdd, an opal vision card and an 030 cpu board. Not sure what I'll do with it though.
2 x A1000's - bog standard except for a 256K ram upgrade.
Don't know why I ever bought em, they look cool though :-D
So thats it, thats my Amiga collection, all I use my miggies for these days is playing games, I just don't see the point in using them for anything else. I'm not interested in making music or video editing, and when it comes to work/modern games, my Athlon based machine does everything I need it to. Well...err...thats my AU$0.02 worth anyway.

The other computers are for games that won't work on the a3k but are rarely used. I would love a Sunrize AD516 sound card or maybe a Delfine Flipper. I also wouldn't mind a towercase with mediator :-D

I have an Amiga 1200 and an Amiga 600.
The Amiga 1200 is the only one intact, but they are both in storage.
The Amiga 1200 is nice and white but the 600 is a horrible yellow.
When the A1200 is out of storage its used as a classic gaming system.

Also the palomaTV card is connected to an external security camera which keeps an eye on my car and front door, the a4k takes a snapshot every x seconds and compresses it and saves it onto a dedicated harddisk.
2. Plain A1200 (3.0)
-X10 CM12U unit for home control
-Amigatemp sensors
timer and remote controlling of various things around the house, including lighting, appliances, and control of heating pads in my snakes vivarium via amigatemp sensors.
Also have a spare a4000 (in case the main one packs in), and am planning a custom a1200 built in to my campervan booting from a CF card and with map programs, and possibly a connection to a GPS reciever.

Well, I use my A4000T/PPC mainly for web surfing and mp3 playback. I run AmigaOS3.9 and Debian 3.0 (LinuxPPC) on it, Linux is mostly for using the Opera web browser on pages that are incompatible with IBrowse.

I'm writing a paper of the use of different system architectures: I'm interested to know what systems (& specs) you guys/gals have, and what role it plays in your household/business/network.
assuming that you mean miggies, here we go :
1. A4000/060, CV64, MFC3, FLZ3, HydraCom, XSurf, ~80MB, ~8G
2. A1200/030, Blizzard SCSI
thats it.

I own four Amigas:
1988 vintage A500 with Kickstart 1.2 ROM and 512Kb RAM expansion - this machine was donated by a friend toegther with an ailing floppy drive
1990 vintage A500 with Kickstart 1.3 ROM, Commodore A501 RAM expansion, Philips Cm8833 monitor and original box. This was my very first Amiga and is much cherished.
1992 A1200 with Kickstart 3.0 ROM, 370Mb, 2.5" HDD
1992 A1200 with Power Tower, Mediator, Voodoo 3, Apollo 1240 40Mhz accelerator, 64Mb RAM, Soundblaster 128, 10/100 Ethernet, EZKey XS keyboard interface, Twister serial interface, 1 x 11 Gb HDD and 1 x 4.3 Gb HDD.
Lastly (but not included above) is my "virtual Amiga" which is courtesy of Win UAE running on my AMD Athlon 2500. It's a sad fact that it's compatable with all the Amiga software I own (unlike the previous 4) and is pretty much all the Amiga I'll ever need.
The UAE machine is used to run everything from vintage games to IBrowse, DPaint, music software etc and contains all my original games in .adf format.

I use my Amiga 2500 for games, video, and music. :-)

Doomy,
What are the specs on your Amiga 2500 computer? I am thinking of upgrading my 2000 as well. I just got a 3.1 ROM chip that I need to install.

@TjLaZer:
Yup. 'Twas obvious to me as well. :lol:

Insight into the autonomous thought routines used when scan browsing the fora...
The moment an A2000/A2500 is mentioned, the suspicious poster exception vector is taken and the poster/post is subconciously interrogated for any possible connection with previous incarnations of doomy. A positive hit is stored in the "ignore or ridicule" cache, depending on the mood state...
Worked example:
In this instance the handle "RottyDude" was enough to link him to BoingBoss, who had a picture of a Rottweiler puppy as his avatar for some time.

TJ,
you are missing an A2000 :-) Coincidence? Or are you simply protesting against the Beaverton repair centre?
-
@x56h34
Ah yes, goes to show how much I like the "Amiga 2000 series computers" !! :roflmao:
Heh, I added them in the list!
:banana:

A4000D w/68040 @ 25MHz
KS 3.0 - 16MB Fast - 2MB Chip
GVP Impact Vision 24 (currently used as a scandoubler/ff and nothing more)
GVP Impact 2000 HC+8 SCSI Controller
Matay Prometheus
Voodoo 3 3000
Realtek 8029 based 10BaseT Ethernet
2 Small IDE drives
2GB SCSI HD
SCSI CD-ROM (not sure how fast, but it's an old caddy based unit)
Everything is sort of hanging out of it at the moment since it won't all fit (of course, it didn't come with the cover for the case anyway so this isn't a tragedy).
I haven't used it for a whole lot so far. Mostly getting a feel for the OS and trying out a few games and demos. I have used it to surf the web once or twice, but the speed left something to be desired. My plan is to use it as a testbed for my Mozilla porting efforts and maybe even do some of the development work on it as well (assuming I can ever get GCC working on it).

I would do a list of machines, but most of them are in bits since my move.
The one machine that sees some use, and is actually set up:
A1200 in desktop case, with 3.1 ROMS, B1260, 6GB laptop HD, external High Density drive.
But I have, in various states, 2 x A4000 (one is intended for spares only, as it came with no HD cradle, and no k/board), 3 x A500, 3 x A1200, 2 x A1200 in power towers, 1 x A1200 is self made tower, 1 x A1200 in converted KVM switchbox (about the size of a 1u rackmount cut in half - will sit on top of a power tower nicely) 2 x A600, 1 x Checkmate Digital A1500. More accelerators, expansions etc than I'd care to mention...
Been trying to sell some of this lot for a while, but a mixture of procrastination, laziness and downright stubborness in parting with it has not made things easy.
(and please, no PMs etc asking if I want to sell :-))
