help me pick an amiga

Hi,

I have just about every Amiga model known to man except for the A2500, and all that an A2500 is, a glorified name for an A2000 to make the Europeons happy. Anyway, the one that sits on my desk next to my gaming PC, is the Amiga 4000, with two CF card drives and a CD-rom. In order to accomplish this task you need a Buddha ide card. Does it boot any faster, no, because somewhere I know in the controlling rom kearnel there is a time set in for running up the hard drives. This delays it just enough today to make a PC faster on boot up. I used to have instructions on how to adjust this run up time but can't seem to find it,

So my choice is the A4000, my next choice is the A1200, CD32, then the A2000. And only for the AGA chipset before you reach the OCS chipset in the A2000. (I said that only to keep CommodoreJohn happy, he likes to critique what you say. Got to be very careful, he is always watching. Anyhow I can not properly evaluate the A1200 since I have an Amiga Technology A1200. Compared to the original Commodore, I hear it is a piece of junk. I am about ready to pull it apart and put changes in various areas. The drives are a major problem with this Amiga. Why did I choose the A4000, it is one of those that I received from NASA during their upgrade (actually downgrade) project of computers to receive satellite pictures. Well anyhow good luck on your choice, I know you said you only have room for one Amiga, but I would take the A2000 and store it somehow, it is my favorite OCS machine. I am more of a real computer person, and the A500 and A1200 where nothing but cheap toys to me. The A600 I don't even consider a real Amiga, maybe an upgraded C64.

Hi,

As I have just found out there was an Amiga 1500, and an Amiga 2500. They both look like an A2000. I will have to look up and see what the differences are and see if it is worth it to add to my collection, and then again I really don't know, maybe I will just stay with Amiga Forever and sell out all my Amiga's. I have really been losing interest during the past 2 years or so. It seems all of my old friends have already moved on and the Amiga clubs have been slowly dwindling down. Sure hate to give up the A4000 it has done so much for me during the past 21 years, and the Amiga itself from the A1000, 26 years ago. Fine machines that I will never forget. Heck if it wasn't for this machine, I wouldn't have box upon box upon box of Amiga junk up in the attic. Heck if I got rid of the Amiga stuff upstairs in the attic, I would only have about 2 boxes of computer junk since PC stuff no one usually keeps because it is all just throw away junk after about 2 years. I mean the most collectable PC is the 8088 and people have them just to run DOS.

Yep, the A1500 and A2500 had to be made for them Euro-peons, because I have never seen one in the US.
