I have an Amiga 1000 and an Amiga 4000 Tower. The Amiga 1000 has 512M memory, external floppy drive and Amiga monitor. I bought the Amiga 4000 Tower when it looked like it might be the last Amiga computer. When I got the A4000 Tower, I stored the A1000 in the original boxes which are white with full color graphics. I’m researching how to revive the 4000T and that’s how I found this forum.
I used the A1000 for many years. Before the internet, I accessed Bulletin Boards using the Genie dial-up phone network. I added a SCSI controller and hard drive. I installed the Rejuvenator Board which replaced a daughter board with one configured to upgrade the MPU to the 68030 – it worked great (it involved aligning multiple chip socket extensions).
I had the 4000 Tower on the internet with a browser called IBrowse and a dialup connection. I added a 2nd floppy drive, video board, and a Zip drive (100 M removable disks - the USB of its day). At some point I tried upgrading the kickstart ROMs and it hasn’t worked since (none of the ROMs have any markings).
I have software, floppy disks, AND Amiga magazines (I saved everything I bought for the Amiga). At some point I’ll look into selling my Amiga collection.
Welcome aboard… 👍🏻
Nice setups there. Why sell up? The Amiga is still alive and thriving today. I actually prefer using an Amiga to a PC these days.
Ibrowse is still going, now on Version 3.0a which was released a couple of weeks ago!
Plenty of new hardware is being made such as USB, Network, Sound cards and Accelerator Cards etc…
Worth checking out Chris Edwards YouTube channel as well, as he is fixing up Amigas and also has a 3000T and a 4000T which he shows fixing up. He is also based in the USA!
