Just wanted to say what a great site this is.
I'm new here, but not to the Amiga. I used to have a 3000
desktop, but when it died I started using MAC's. I
still missed my Amiga, so about a year ago I bought a
3000 Tower, on ebay, and have it up and running with a
CV/3D card and 12 megs of ram. I saved my old hard drive
from my 3000D and put it in the tower and was able to
recover all my old files from 1997 (when the 3000D Died)
back.
I am currently trying to get the QuickNet 2000 card,
I recently bought in a 3000D, up and running so I wont
have to keep downloading on the MAC and transfering
with a ZIP disk to the A3000T.
Fixing up the Tower has been fun and using AmigaOS
3.9 is a very pleasent experience after using
Winbloat XP (XP = eXtra Problems) at work and Mac
OSX at home.
My current Amiga projects, are to get my OLD AMAX IV
card up and running and look for an 060 or a PPC card
that wont cost an arm and both legs. And the QuickNet
card. Can Anyone recomend a TCP/IP stack? I have an
original TERMITE TCP, but it only seems to work with
dialup. I need one that does DHCP so I can use it with
my cable modem and router.
Is the Imagine Raytracer still produced? I have a 1.??
version that I bought years ago., but I might like to upgrade
it.
Well, this is running longer than I'd intended
thanks for reading
Chuck

'allo!
Welcome!
AFAIK, Imagine 5 was the last version made for the miggy.

imagine 5 indeed , but remember amiga also has such as Lightwave which i recomend over imagine.
anyway for tcp stacks , either Genesis (on your os3.9 cd!) or try and get Miami or miamiDX , sadly thoose are rather impossible to buy or register so either buy it used or go for genesis.
a new tcpstack is out soon enough, its called roadhouse and will be available outside os4 even, so u might keep an eye open in the news sections.
genesis supports broadband ofcourse though i think miamidx is far superior.
beyond that, for a 060 or ppc or other hw , keep an eye open at ebay, normally pops one or two there each month (u can use a normal a4k card so..)
welcome to amiga org and keep thoose questions comming.
cheers

Roadshow, actually. Its reported to have all the features of current Amiga TCP/IP stacks, and be much faster, so generally it should kick ass ;-)
