Title: It's official, my Amiga is finally up and runnng!
Post by: Dmaster on February 14, 2008, 12:09:33 AM

Well, after years of having my A2000T just ttanding around doing nothing, I finally got a regular A2500 and trasnfered all from my A2000T to it, got me my monitor which I left in my country years ago, cleaned everthing up, slowly checked for leakage, and installed OS 3.9.  Sweet how fast this baby is.  I can  now say that I am officialy back into Amiga again.  I miss the good days.  I don't think there is a PPC for this machine but even if there was, prices are out of this world and I prefer to just leave it the way it is.  OS 3.9 pretty much allows me to do the basics I want.  Feels good to be back.

Next, try to get my BBS system running on the net on the real thing, currently running under WinUAE!

That is great news!  You must be feeling really happy, I am waiting for my A1200 to arrive and then get back to the good old Amiga days too :)  I am gonna check out your BBS, should be good fun to see those old ANSI graphics again.  Congrats once again!

Congrats!  Here's an 060 for your baby: Blizzard 060 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180214483101).

It's interesting how people have to leave a good thing to realize it's value.
