Very nice collection. Surpassing even mine by a long way.

WTF do you keep all of it? Mine takes up two double rooms in my house!

And WTF do you find the money to buy new stuff? Some of your collection must have cost a few pennies to buy, Viper 520 CD... like gold dust.

You've got a 6128 plus!! I want one of them! And your Sinclair Interface 1 and Microdrives are in such good condition. Mine are held together with tape.

I see a few I have, you dont have an STe, MegaSTe, TT030, JagCD, Acorn RISCPC, Nintendo Wii ;-)

Hehehe.... I thought for a split second that Amiga Inc were announcing the availablity of OS4.1 on Sam.... But then again, the AInc site is hardly an Amiga website.

Holy cow sh*t!!! Scuzz, I would love to visit your collection, and while your head is turned away from my sticky little fingers..., oh sorry I was drifting away abit there.  Seriously, you have one heck of collection and I see your just don't acquire just any old stuff.  Like alexh, I have somewhat of a collection also mainly Amiga, Atari, Apple, and Timex Sinclair stuff, but that pales to your set up.  Keep up the great work on your site for I will be visiting often [drooling]  :-D .

Hi

It fills most of the house now. Loads of it not very accessible sadly. Have many Amigas out and rooms dedicated to just the Amiga. I have spent quite a bit, but I do little else. There will always be holes in the collection, which makes the tracking down even more fun. Just when you think you have seen it all up pops something else. What I really would like is boxes for all my Amigas... Getting there slowly. You would be amazed at how long it took to get the poly cheese insert for the A500 modulator. No doubt the first thing trashed when the box was opened.

Anyway. Happy hunting. PS The viper was the subject of a thread on the forum from someone slagging off the seller for advertising an A500 as an A1200. Turned out it was a true Amigan that had died. I knew there had to be something in that 500 and I was right. Classic kit the A500.

Hi and sorry... Been a bit hectic this last few months. Back on the case now and ploughing through my mails. I will attend to that matter this very week. I will give you access to the secret vault on the website so you can have the cfg files and other DOpus goodies.

Keep the Faith

Holy sh..  I have so many questions I don't even know where to begin.

Where do you get all your stuff, and how can you afford it?
Do you keep it in your home, or do you sell after playing with it for a while?

I'm speechless.  I'm torn between calling you "obsessive compulsive" and "my new hero". ;-)

Hi

Im just a nutter who fell in love with his Amiga. Nothing has ever compared with my time on the Amiga. Modern computing is like food without taste. I started getting other kit to compare. Maybe I just wanted to be sure I wasn`t fooled by the Amiga. Truth is nothing even came up to the mark. As to what I do with it all.. Well I lovingly box it all up and store it safely. Except the Atari's which I ritually burn.. Sorry joking. All here. And I guess it has cost me. Worth every penny though. I'm in computer heaven.

Never sold a thing. Though I do get asked a lot.

No Commodore MAX though... and you're not having mine. :)

Seriously, nice collection, I only have a few things you don't and I have a lot of stuff myself. But you really need a Commodore MAX before you can be truly happy!
