Title: Another Newbie Here
Post by: wildstar1063 on October 02, 2003, 09:26:26 AM

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

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 ;-)
