It's alive!!
« on: September 27, 2010, 04:18:25 PM »
Hi All,

I think this must be my first thread on this forum or at least my first in absolutely ages!! :)

After reading some many interesting posts on here and thoroughly getting the bug again I decided to dig my A600 out and after 13 years (1997 was its last run..) it boots up and runs like I put it away yesterday :) I think I am really lucky i never put it in my family loft or I suspect it would be long dead by now unfortunately..! I played Chaos Engine last night for an hour and it seems one happy little computer! I am so happy :)

I have been doing a lot of research over the past two weeks and the Amiga scene looks really healthy which I am really please to see - well done everyone :) Hats off to people like Individual Computers who are still manufacturing new Amiga parts - on my shopping list from them so far is the 1mb trap door upgrade and Flicker Fixer card, I also really hope the rumors are true and they are developing a A630 board for this Christmas - I would certainly buy one to replace the Viper 630 I sold years ago :) I also love the idea of using a solid state memory card as a hard disk which should help both energy consumption and speed no end! (PSU being the Amiga weak point from memory)

I was like a 13 year old boy again at Christmas last night!! lol (I'm 31 now..)

What a great forum as well!

Adrian

ferrellsl - I agree, really robust durable pieces of kit - my A600 must be 17 years old now!!

Tripitaka - One of my all time favourite Amiga games! :)

Just going to try the other one now - Lemmings!!
