Switching to Amiga

[Tomas]

The most important part for os3.9 is the amount of ram. If you want to actually surf the internet using a web browser, then you might also want to invest in a graphic card, as the main thing that slows down the browser is the slow aga chipset. If you just want to irc, mail or similar then aga should work just fine even though things look ugly due to lack of colours and small res.

What if the MP3 was being played via a network e.g. the MP£ is stored on another computer but played on the amiga?

The problem is the cpu power needed. The amiga ide interface will not limit you there, so it wont matter where the mp3 file is stored.

You can get a hardware based mp3 player called Mas Player that you plug into the parallel port. This little device will actually let you play mp3 files on a standard a500 without an accelrator. http://www.cdtv.org.uk/mas.html official site here"german only:\":  http://mp3.mas-player.de/
