Well, thanks for trying. It's helped me make my mind up on getting all my Amiga apps back into useful service.

Rather than go the emulator route to begin with, I'll use an A1200 with a network card for the non-games apps, old school A500 for the legacy stuff and parnet to the A1200. Archive what I have first.

THEN I'll worry about getting the apps to work on modern hardware, once it is off magnetic media and onto something more reliable, in an accessible form. 98% of it I can download, I know.

I would like to rackmount a big stack of old hardware, with some modern additions, but I better start with a secure software and hardware base.

"Secure" being a relative term in these rather hectic "internet superhighway with bad guys everwhere" times.
