Title: WTB: A classic Amiga for a lost soul
Post by: Gibbersan on June 16, 2004, 12:55:52 AM

Been a while since I've messed with my Amiga. Old A1200 died a while back, and didn't replace it.

Now I'm looking to get an Amiga up and running again.

Would like to purchase a moderately expanded A1200 (accelerator/ram expansion and CD-ROM) or a similarly equipped A4000 (or better).

And, yes, before any of you say something, already posted the request on amibench.org

Thanks. Still looks like there's a healthy community out there, and want to wade back in.

  I feel your pain ;)  Had to get rid of a bunch of my "Amiga Crapp" as she put it. Gave a bunch of it away. Hope it got put to good use. Still have a 4000T toaster flyer and am building another toaster flyer. Have to hide it from the wife  :lol:

Have you considered Amiga Forever 6.0, CD edition (www.amigaforever.com)? OK, it's not a 'real' Amiga, but it lets you emulate one (in fact any Amiga, as you get every version of the OS that ever was, even ones that never got released) with brilliant results. I'm using an older version of Amiga Forever, and I really don't need my older Amiga hardware for anything. Every game I want to play works perfectly. Plus, cos I have a pretty good PC, my emulated Amiga is MUCH faster than any real Amiga anyway!

The latest version allows you to boot straight from the CD into a WB 3.X environment, so you don't even have to have an OS already installed on your system (like Windows or Linux)!

Anyway, that's just what I think...

@captainmoomoo

I already purchased Amiga Forever 6.0 and am running it on my PC, but just want to actually have some Amiga hardware sitting on my desk. Have one deal right now working that will hopefully have an A4000D sitting on my desk sometime next week. :)
