Neither is better. They both had their merits back then (with the A500+ slightly more expandable back then), they both have their merits right now (with the A600 being slightly more expandable right now).

They are quite alike and 'suffered' from the same incompatabilities when it came to software.

With either of these 3.1 should probably be the goal for configuration and not attempting to run older 1.3 games.

Agreed on the 3.1 roms.

And WHDLoad for the games... ;)

I really do like my A600: ACA630/25, KS3.1, Indivision ECS, 4 GB disk-on-module, 3C589 NIC... Really nice system.

And I also like my A500: A508IDE, KS3.1, Indivision ECS, Power PC Board, 256 MB CF, 68010 cpu. Also really nice.

My much 'heavier' machines like the A1200 and A2000 are put away in boxes, I prefer the A500 and A600 for normal use. Maybe that'll change in the future, but for the time being I prefer using my 'small' Miggies.
