I had an amiga 3000 with 16MB ram,A3640 540MB scsi hd,external scsi case and a cd burner,and 6 disc cd changer.
monitor was a 17" sony,but i cant recall what model :)
Are you sure this was your setup in 1991? I find that slightly hard to believe. I bought a 486DX2/66 with 8 MB ram and a 245 MB IDE drive in 1993 and this was an incredible amount back then. The computer itself was also hideously expensive, mind you (I had a lót of money to burn, back then).

This makes claiming to own an Amiga 3000 with 16 MB ram and a 540 MB scsi(!) drive in 1991, slightly unrealistic, especially as owning a cd-burner in 1991 would be impossible: CDRW came on the market in 1997. And a cd-changer in 1991? Nah. I bought a double speed CD-ROM drive in 1993, maybe 1994 for EUR 340(!).

Anyway, my Amiga-setup in 1991:
- the omnipresent A500, ofcourse. Rev 5 motherboard, KS 1.2;
- an A1084 monitor (no 'S');
- a KCS Power PC Board;
- a MacroSystem Evolution SCSI-controller (bootable with KS1.2);
- an external SCSI-case with a Quantum 80 MB SCSI harddrive;
- an external 3.5" A1010 disk drive;
- a Star LC24-10 dot-matrix printer;
- a Tornado 2400 modem;
- an external 2 MB fastram expansion (I forgot which one);
- several joysticks.

Good setup back then. It remained like this until being replaced by a 486 in 1993.

Life sucks. Then you die. Then they throw mud in your face. Then you get eaten by worms. Be happy it happens in that order... My Amiga 1200

Hm... 1991...

That would be an A500 (rev 5, KS1.2), A1010 diskdrive, KCS Power PC Board, MacroSystem Evolution SCSI controller with 80 MB Quantum ProDrive, a 2 MB external ram expansion, Tornado 2400 modem, a Star LC24-10 printer, a Multivision 500 flicker fixer and a 14" multisync monitor (forgot which type).
