I realize this thread is old but I had to share my story. My A500 was bought from a local computer store in 1995, I was 16, incidently I now work for that store. My first experiences with that computer were some of the most enjoyable times I've ever had with a computer. It was a 68000 rev A6 MB, 512kChip 512kFast/clock, an external A1010 FDD and a C=1084 monitor. I used OctaMED mostly on it as well as DPaint II, III, IV. Bought a Megalosound sampler one year later. To this day I am fascinated with making music on computers, just bought a microkorg synth. I still have my A500 but I upgraded it with kickstart 2.04 and a fat(ter?) agnus board with 2MB chip onboard, but it disabled the fastram on the card, however the clock still works (?) Anyway, I also own an A1200 with a 40MHz 68030, 32MB fastram, 2GB ide drive and panasonic 5 disc cd-rom changer (modded the case to let out an ATA ribbon) and a bigfoot psu. I got online for the first time with that 1200. :-)~ i miss using my babies - WinUAE just doesnt cut it.
