I miss when computing was simple
« on: June 06, 2005, 06:36:56 AM »
I have:
A1200HD (3.1 roms)(40meg) with an 8mb expanssion
A600HD (very dead)
CD32 with serial cable for the 1200.

[edit] and 2 windoze xp laptops, 1 windoze PC, 3 linux pc/servers and a modded xbox with xbox media centre running the entertainment room.
[/edit]

My old multisync monitor died long ago and i can't see anything on any other monitor i have.

I want to get back onto the amiga's whether i have to buy an amiga one or built my 1200 into a tower.

worst part is my 1993 disks (100s of them) are currupt   :-( or at least the important ones (workbench and tools disks)

Can someone give me a starting point?

Thank you for all your advice.

I would love one of those a1200 towers, but the postage to New Zealand would be nutz.

I wonder how many new zealanders are addicted to amiga like i am.... maybe we could get a bulk deal :-)

From what i can see, it would be cheaper to get a server height case (like the big thermaltake ones) and drill a few holes and figure out the cabling.

Looks like i have several weekends worth of electronics fun ahead of me.

The problem with my disks being currupt is that the ones that they are my workbench disks and my tools disks, although you are right, most of what i had (tools and games wise) is on aminet or some random abandonware portal, question of morality tho, the reason amiga's had health problems are because it was so easy to copy games and even tho the game creators aren't aupporting or even selling them any more, feels a bit odd..

Fun is ahead! :lol:

I see what you mean about the games, if they don't support them or sell them then what choice do we have.

I am glad my alien breed disks still work (YAY!)

Thank you for that link, 3.1 disks are hard to come by.

only problem is the more i look the sweeter the MicroA1's look....

looks like i have mountains to catch up on. :-)
