Hi there. I recently had the good fortune to rescue my old A1200T from oblivion -it was stored at my parents' home, and they were about to take it to the dump before I intervened. Now it is safe in my own home. So long as I can keep it safe from toddlers and my wife...
Anyway, it's prompted me to get back into the Amiga after a long hiatus, and I'm checking out all the forums and set up my own blog on the subject -http://thecommodoreamiga.com (http://thecommodoreamiga.com).
This site seems to be one of the biggest Amiga forums around, so I look forward to soaking up the Amiga chat...

Welcome to the AO.

Nice design on your blog... Welcome back!

You might leave the amiga for a while, but the amiga inside you never leaves.
Or something profound like that.
Welcome aboard :)

A rescued Amiga is a friend for life... :)
Welcome to the last refuge for the Amiganly Insane, just remember to always wear flameproof clothing and a tin helmet while posting round here... :)
(PS: and never mention "those who shall not be named"... ;))

"Relax," said the Guru, "we are programmed to receive. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave!"

Thanks! No, the Amiga never does leave you- I've still got a 68040 inside my brain. Although these days I'm probably running more like a 68000...
The Amiga's been in storage for too long- I think the wife and kids should take their turn, get themselves off to an attic somewhere, and let me get on with fiddling about on the A1200T.

Hi,
@blitterobject,
First of all I blitterobject to your avatar's name!! Just kidding,
Anyhow welcome back to the Amiga and to Amiga.Org.
Here you will find the insanely best Amiga people in the world.
Some of the best are Karlos -- who always ruins your fun.
2nd is Franko -- watch him close and if you need help on anything, this insane Scott is there.
3rd is runequestor -- can't remember what to watch out for on him. Oh he is sane.
4th is Wayne -- very rarely here but he is sneaky.
then there is amigadave, amiga2600, and the worst person to associate with is voted by all the rest
smerf -- totally insane, a big troll.
enjoy amiga.org and remember on this site take everything with a grain of salt.

Thanks. I presume that by "lady", you're referring to my Amiga and not making an inappropriate inquiry regarding my wife. I didn't think it was that sort of forum...
I've got a huge lumbering A1200T with 68040 25Mhz, Cybervision 64 via Zorro II, 4Meg fast +2Meg chip (obviously), 120mb hd. In its heyday, it was hooked up to the net via 36kbps modem.

First of all; welcome :)
Nice setup, but the 040 depends on how it will run WHDload games, I'm sure it will do great, but not as good as 030 ones.
But having said that my ACA 1230's aren't doing well either, just have to find the right setup :hammer:

..... 68040 25Mhz ...... 4Meg fast
A 040 card with only 4MB ??? Well o.k. 4MB was pretty plenty in 1995 or so (my 1st 060 was an Blizz2060 with 8MB), but today you rarely ever see anyone with less than 32MB on such cards (128MB even more often).

It's probably with standard 72 pin simms, so should be easy to fit 64mb or 128mb in it.
If he knows which card it is he can look it up, or we can tell it.

The set-up was from late '97 and hasn't really been used since 2001. Did the job back then...
