Question to all Amiga owners

[Lurch]

Quite happy with my A1200, well no USB yet but getting there. :-) Besides more fun trying to fit it all into a wedge.

The only thing about the classic Amiga is the crap browser, otherwise it would be very usable as an everyday computer. Which I'm almost doing, apart from my CF Card problems I've decided to go back to a laptop HDD.

I have 2 CF's plus an ide CDROM working on the Amiga 4000.
Never could get the CF to work with a CDROM on the A1200. Will work by itself as a hard drive, but soon as I ad the CDROM lock up city.

CF cards tend to die on me, have had a 8GB sandisk which worked fine. Had two PFS3 partitions setup on it.

Was playing Full throttle one day, it locked up and when I restarted the CFCard could no longer be detected. Couldn't even get it detected on the PC, 6 month old card ;-)

Have another 2GB card here was working fine, was just FFS. Worked for ages on my A500. Thought meh will try that on the A1200/FastATA. Corruption errors, even when setup with SFS or PFS3. Doesn't appear to matter what settings I set it to when partitioning.

So going back to real laptop HDD at the moment. May get a cheap SSD later on.

You need a GFX card to enjoy web browsing on classic amiga,AGA is showing its age.

Not really, looks very nice on my IndiAGA2. Just need the webpages to render properly not a big mess of boxes and code ;-)

Don't care about flash/java and the like just need HTML to be supported properly.

Hi,

When you get your USB card for the Amiga 1200, please do this, read the instructions, then wait 15 minutes, read the instructions again, then look closely at your Amiga 1200, then read the instructions again, and then when you think you know what you are doing read the instructions line by line as you do them.

I personally know an idiot that didn't do it, and he burned up his USB card.

OK, I only read the instructions once!!

Can you guess who the idiot was?

LOL, I've been there!! I'll make sure to do it when nobody else is around. Focus on the task at hand too.

I think we've all had the case of idiot syndrome. :-/ LOL

@ utri007 Netsurf looks interesting. Sitting on the fence watching!
