Well, it's been a few months in coming, but I finally got my new Amiga site up and running yesterday. I'd love your feedback. I know some of the images I have aren't the greatest, so if anyone has any better images, please send them my way.
The site focuses more on the older machines rather than the newer like the A1s... hopefully I can put these in the old soon and we have new machines... hopefully...
The site is: http://VintageAmiga.com

Cool start.
You dont have anything about the A1500 which was an A2000 with two floppy drives and no hard drive.
Nothing about the CDTV.
Nothing about the CD32 (hardware)
Your A1200 is a bit yellow ;-)
-
Care to help me out ;)
This is my fifth site I have made in the past year - I want the Amiga one to be the best, but would love to get help :)
-
Cool site just one small criticism if I may..
Although the Amiga was dead in April 1994 as a mainstream computer lots of things happened after which casual surfers may be interested in, how about extending the history of Amiga to present day?
Regards
-
Nice work...
I like the page layout, its nice and clean.
I didn't miss the link to your forum either. :-D
-
I think there is a great story there as I have followed it very much myself having collected a large selection of Amigas over the years.
Would you be willing to write a piece that I could add to the site? I'd give you full-onscreen credits.
It would be nice to have a story that starts at 1994 and leaves off today.

Nice clean layout! Looking forward to reading all the pages!
:-)

Nice site :)
I will sergently visit the site to see what you add too it :)
-
Your site looks very good. I like the simple, but effective design. May I suggest you avoid using the term "Wintel"? It somehow seems unprofessional, and so it doesn't fit in with the otherwise excellent site.
-
Your site is really kick ass.
I wish the Amiga big book site looked this good. Also glad to see a site on the 68ks too. Bookmarked.

little typo I found:
"Jay set out to develop several other custom ships for sound, graphics and I/O. "
Just run it through some spell check thing maybe...
-
Very nice site......definitly a new bookmark for me :-D
Keep up the good work ;-)
-
nice looking site, but your cd32 games section seems to contain the wrong information, like this example:
Amiga CD32 Games
Overview
Date Range: 1982 - 1983
Atari 5200 was designed to replace the 2600. Atari built the 5200 off their 8-bit computer platform instead of improving upon the 2600 design.
There was good reason for this as the 8-bit line of computers was also built off the 2600.
However, Atari focused on the 2600 more than developing a new model to replace the 600. As a result, the 2600 had a few issues:
1. It was not compatible with 2600 games
2. It had compatibility issues with running Atari 8-bit games
3. It did not have much developer support
there are some other problems there aswell...
/cheers

Cool Site.
Nice and clean layout.

In 1992, Commodore-Amiga released the Amiga 1200 for ?399 in the United Kingdom and $599 in the United States.
Think you want a £ there :)
-
Actaully believe it or not it was the A600 that started of at £399. I remember my dad having a fit and major moan when they reduced it to £199 a short while after (when the A1200 was released I believe).
-
just found a typo in your front page.
"Jay set out to develop several other custom ships for sound, graphics and I/O."
:-P
cool page, congrats !
-
No no no! Jay was WAY ahead of his time! He DID design custom SHIPS - so he could deliver the Amigas as fast as possible!
-
nice site, one small thing I noticed:
in A1200 page, in specs, you call it A4000 and instead of 14,18 MHz you have the 68020 as 7mhz. I also think it wasn't full 68020 but rather 68EC020, but for this last one, I'm not dead sure.
-
Yes, it was 68EC020.

@mgerics
LOL. Learn something new everyday in Amiga lore. :lol:

I think you're confusing him with L. Ron Hubbard. :lol:
-
Great site. Lots of potential. Small correction on the A2000 page.
The A2500 included the Commodore A2630 or A2630, which were processor accelerators including the 68020 or the 68030
Should be
...A2620 or A2630
-
I think it is pretty cool.

"Wintel" is used in the industry. So, depending upon his context, its use on his site may be just fine.
