Best Amiga Today???
« on: February 04, 2005, 04:53:05 PM »
I know this question has probably been asked more than once before, but what is the best Amiga available today (includes used hardware) in the following categories?

Real Amiga (w/add-ons & extras, but must start w/Amiga MoBo)
Emulated/Imitated Amiga (list emulator or clone OS and hardware)
Most compatible with all existing software (will run most programs)
Fastest Amiga (Emulated or Accellerated?)
The Ultimate Amiga (which of the above is best)
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

Stirred up much more than I intended.  I have many Amigas (most would say too many as I have never gotten rid of any I have bought for myself or for other family members who have given them back over the years).  I have very fond memories of my first, the A1000.  I have not been using my Amigas lately but I am just finishing an office room addition to my home which will give me room to set up an Amiga or two and I would like to know what is the "State of the Art" for Amigas now.  I have an A4000 in a tower w/Phase 5 PPC at 233/060 at 60, Cybervision, Video Toaster/Flyer that I would like to bring up to its highest potential state, while keeping functionality of the Toaster/Flyer.  I want to add USB to allow use of my digital camera's USB card reader.  I want to network it with my Powerbook and my very ancient 400mHz PC.  The PC will eventually be delegated to being nothing more than a Linux Firewall I think.  A donated 2nd A1000 is awaiting a mini shuttle style PC MoBo transplant and Amiga Forever install, but my original A1000 will remain stock.  Too many good memories there to ever change or give up.
