My Amiga will live!

[Nagromme]

I've been out of the Amiga loop for along time, but looking forward to getting back into it.

My Amiga 3000 ran fine until a couple months ago... now it asks for Workbench floppies which I do have. I'm terrified that I've lost the HD, since my backups are SO old! But I'll get around to trying DiskSalv or whatever on the HD soon.

And then my next project is getting my old SCSI Mac (PowerBook G3) to read Amiga-format external hard disks: I have tons of Amiga stuff on Jaz disk, and MacUAE just begging to be played with. Then I can transfer the stuff from the G3 to my PowerBook G4 for Amiga/OS X laptop fun! And no doubt my Windows PC will somehow need to be involved in that journey too.

And if they ever sell a NEW Amiga OS for PowerPC, compatible in any way with modern Macs, and it has some support for older 680x0 software, I'll jump on that too! I'm on AmigaDOS 2.1 for now.

Thanks. I've heard that, but MacUAE has worked well for me so far... and I demand the portability (and TV-out for games) of my PowerBook

You're right, I'm barely aware of the latest Amiga products, other than to be glad there are still things in the works I'd heard that Amiga was going RISC/PPC--sounds good to me! Especially if I can get the OS running on my PowerBook someday.

I'd consider buying new Amiga hardware, even. And if I could hack Tiger to run on it that would be cool too. Do I need a new Amiga? No. Doesn't mean I don't want one Will AmigaOS on PPC still run my old 680x0 apps?

Cooler still would be running Amiga on a dual-G6 PowerMac (when such a thing exists).

But I'll search around--all the answers to my curiosity are here, I'm sure.

And thanks for the EUAE link. Bookmarked!

This weekend? I don't know WHAT I mean...  :-o

I may be running Amiga OS on EUAE on Mac on quad x86's for all I know, taking breaks to play PowerPC X-Box 360 games made by Microsoft on G5 macs! :-o
