Lets Amiga chat!

I don't have time to use my MacMini "Amiga". Too busy with uni stuff at the moment. But i get 4 weeks off in about a months time so i will use it then. My mini needs a bit of maintainance like installing the Airport wireless card thingy and getting rid of that dreadful Apple startup sound.

HI,

How can you insult the Amiga like that "MacMini "Amiga", why not call it like it really is a MacMini impersonating an Amiga.

I know how to get rid of that dreadful Apple startup sound, place your fake imperonating Macmini Amiga under a steam roller. Should never play that sound again.

Hi,

@CritAnime,

[Morph OS is something I would be curious to use if I still had my 4g mac mini. I do not envy you on maintaining the mini though. I had my old one open to install some new RAM. Such a tight space to work in]

Such a tight space to work in, reminds me of the person who built those things, very tight, in other words a tightwad taking your money. May he rest in hello operator.

Now there again is something I would love to try. However pricing of HW kind of pushes that out of my reach at the moment lol.
 
Which might be an excuse to pimp my 1200 out and try the OS4 classic.

Hi,

@CritAnime,

Don't waste your time, have a ppc card in my A1200 and am running OS 4.1, thinking of going back to OS 3.1/3.5/3.9 operating system, haven't found any use for OS 4.1 as of yet. Enjoy using my A4000 / 040/25mhz system more and it seems to run faster than a 250mhz ppc Amiga. Not only that but OS 4.1 crashes a lot, rather use MorphOS on a MacMini with an awful startup sound.
OK
I give credit where credit is due, OS 4.1 so far is the pits, a crashbox, run slow, at least on an Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard ppc card.

Have been looking at MacMini's but everytime I do, I throw up.

Yeah i agree that the Mac Mini is trying to impersonate an Amiga. Or maybe the other way around. I have a theory that the developers are all Apple loving zealots who secretly wish Amigas were Apples. They are trying to Applefy the Amiga community   :eek:  

Also if you want to honour the Amiga you could start by stop using that crappy emulation dosbox stuff and use your real Amigas.

Hi,

@Kesa,

Have my Amiga 4000 turned on every day, use it to play soliton, megaball, and Adoom. Just installed Crazy8's, Leading Lap and Space Taxi. Usually just use it for data basing with Pen Pal, don't know why but I lke Pen Pals data base program. Guess I am just weird.

Why do I use Amiga Foever, why because I can, besides don't really lke using the Amiga's that much, after all the old girls getting old. Want to save her for the future, but I found out the more you use her the better she works. Must be something about exercising her old silicon.

Yeah those are cool but i prefer the standard A3000. I like the desktop cases that CAN'T fit 5.25" devices. It seems ironic somehow...

I think the towers are sweet but they look ugly when you put in devices such as 5.25 drives that don't match the size and colour properly.

Hi,

@kesa,

All Amiga's can use the 5.25 floppy drive, they like all the other floppy disks could be set up external of the case, I believe the number of the external 5.25 disk drive was 1020. Used to have one, then one day I tore it apart to see if something would work, it didn't but I never put it back together again. Big Mistake.

[smerf]

Are you agreeing or disagreeing? I think 5.25 drives are too big. I prefer the smaller 3.25. But that's just me.

Anyway i think the A3000 is interesting as it is a contradiction. It was meant to be a workstation aimed at professionals at the same time they left no room inside or outside for 5.25" expansions. Oh the irony...

@Kesa,

Actually the A3000 was designed to be a Unix work station, only trouble is Commodore screwed this up to somehow, they made the Commodore Unix to expensive. Therefore no one bought it. It was a big waste of money. So the best machine they ever made failed, it was to expensive for the Professionals to use, and way to expensive, with little innovation for the home types to use.
