I have to say that I've been entirely pleased with my 1200 since I got it. PCMCIA networking's incredibly cheap and quite simple to set up, built-in support for a hard drive or CF adapter is very convenient, and having a 16MHz 68020 stock is a big improvement over a 7MHz 68000. Accelerators tend to be quite a bit cheaper and easier to get, too, and even a basic one makes a significant further improvement.
Ditto! I have used emulation every which way you can think of on every OS imaginable. It sucks! (Don't even get me stareted with emu on my SAM460! - but haven't spent much time on it either) Just get an A1200! It's the best! I am hoping to get another Magic Pak so bad! I'm at home only one day a week and I keep my A1200 at the shop with no time for Amiga love. Just want another WHDLOAD A1200 for home & Scala is much fun!
Just get an A1200, Accelerator, Scan Doubler, PCMCIA & CF Card and you're in business! Yea, not cheap for all new parts but you can get deals on ebay.
Oh, but FPGA machine might be OK too! :razz:
