Hello Amiga Org I am a newbie
« on: March 26, 2005, 06:40:24 PM »
Hi Guys,

I am a newbie to this here site and thus I am introducing myself. I am not a complete amiga virgin as I owned an A500+ in the 90's which is still at home (back in the UK) packed away. I would like to get reaquainted with the amiga brand and thought that this would be a good place to start. First off can anyone recommend a startup system, I was thinking along the lines of an A1200 or A3000 but I don't know what is available and what upgrades I can get my hands on. Any suggestions would be gratefully welcome.

Thanks for your help and the excellent site.

Hi,

I would like to do both the old games scene and surf the net, with also the possibility of some lightwave 3D. Does this mean that I can get away with a modded A1200 or will I have to go down the route of an A4000 with mods?

Thanks

Hi,

How compatible is the AmigaOne with the older stuff. I found UAE a couple of nights ago and have been busy playing old games using that, but I really want to support the Amiga and the only way that I can see progress being made in developing it further is to purchase one of the newer machines. Now is my understanding of it correct in that AmigaOS runs alongside a Linux system as dualboot or is it completely independent?

Thanks
