Place to buy a new amiga and recommended software

[cv643d]

Easiest is to wait for links to Amigakit by Amigakit guy here on amiga.org

They sell the relevant motherboard which you will need and the operating system!

You will need either a SAM440 motherboard, or a SAM Flex motherboard, I would chose a SAM440 since it is Mini-ITX format, then you need the OS too.

If you want a second hand motherboard you will need to find a Pegasos 2 or Amiga One motherboard. I myself have a Pegasos 2 box which is rock solid. But both Peg2 and Amiga one mobos are difficult and expensive to find second hand.

If you like Workbench you will get a permanent week long hard on by OS 4.1 on modern hardware, believe me ;-)

It is a bit difficult to know what apps to install.

The best idea is to make a forum post when you get the hardware either here or on other forum with a question what apps should you get.

But, IMHO,

-OWB is a must, first time I spent an evening surfing the web on my Amiga only
-Tunenet is a great music player, however I am not so fond of the stock GUI
-That update drawer program, so you dont have to update a drawer everytime you want to see new content, ie for example when extracting an archive.
