Title: Another newcomer
Post by: ConradBhart on July 16, 2013, 01:34:06 PM: Hi to all. Recently been getting back into my Amigas and started to realise how much old and new development has passed me by. I hope to catch-up on things here & offer any help I can to others (this might be a bit limited though).

I have a 20yr old A1200 + Magnum II 68040 & 4mb RAM & a CD32. Very recently I got a 2nd A1200 from ebay and added an Amigabay 4Mb CF game card & a Hawk 8mb RAM card. I confess I mostly wanted to get back into some of those games. Having looked over my collection of old cover CDs I find I have a lot of music programs which I would quite like to explore as well now as I never really looked at them before!

I must also confess to an Atari STFM which I am still quite fond of.

Have lots of questions but will try to restrain myself a bit. Glad to be here!

Post by: ConradBhart on July 16, 2013, 08:58:15 PM: Just to show how out of touch I am I found my 68040 board actually has 32Mb of RAM not 4, which is an unexpected bonus!

Thirty two meg of memory is a lot better than four meg (bonus) and your Amiga will appreciate the extra memory and will provide a lot more accessibility to multi tasking and loading programs..

Welcome. What's these questions then? :elvis:

Yeah - is one of them "Is my A1200 better than my Atari STFM"? Because if it is it'll be a short debate. :)

Post by: ConradBhart on July 18, 2013, 01:06:04 AM: My Atari kept me going until I could finally afford an A500 (Screen Gems pack if I remember right). Was blown away by the difference though. Will try to post questions in the right place. A few I think will be about how to get other bits of gear working with my Amigas.

Post by: utri007 on July 18, 2013, 08:44:29 AM: Magnum II is nice accelerator, but you should get some more memoro to it. It is repacked Apollo 040, so it can be picky with sim modules.
