New Harddisk in A600 to play games.

[keropi]

you got an a600 for games? hmmm not a good choise IMHO...

you should have gotten an a1200 for games for these reasons:

1. it has the newer AGA chipset
2. it comes with a 020 as standar, and a 030 accel is cheap, so you could enjoy games. remember that for whdload it is reccommended to have a 030 + MMU + fastram for precash.
you cannot use the quit key in a 68000 cpu, you need at least a 68010 for it to work, meaning that after loading a game if you want to end it, you must reboot...
3. all expansion cards are cheaper and more common than the ones for a600

I am sorry to dissapoint you, but if you only want to play games and you have no sentimental reasons towards the a600, go buy an A1200 and save yourself a lot of trouble...
ofcourse, this is just my 2c, but I think all others will agree with me

1200's come with 3.0 or 3.1 roms... prefer to get one with the 3.1 roms, that will allow you to run OS3.9... ofcourse with a blizzard accelerator you could softkick a 3.0 machine to 3.1 ...
the a600 will work with those old games, but you will have the limitations I described above, no quit key, no precache...

hey tjlazer, are you sure that on a 68000 amiga the quit key works? I remember on the whdload docs that it needs some extra instruction which is available on a 68010 and higher...
