Hi

Hope you get it working just fine. Great machine.

Here is a picture of both of mine.

Hi

Well done... You are the proud owner of the greatest Amiga ever. Sadly also the last great Amiga. Everything after this became very confusing.

Everythings going fine.

I found almost all the hardware I needed.
Still missing the external scsi terminator
and the keys.

Do you have the feet ? I was lucky enough to get feet for both of mine. Not so lucky with the A4000T though not so bothered with that machine. Just out of interest what is the colour of your on off switch ?

It was the culminating point of the original growth pattern of the Amiga, like the end branch line of development. Someone, somegroup obviously felt that the Amiga should go in a slightly different direction after this and there wasn't the same depth of thought given to any of what came after the A3000T. Not saying the route the A3000T was going was right, but at that time the Amiga did have a say in the development of computers so I guess we will never know.

Very important that we keep the living breathing A3000Ts still in existence alive. Not sure if the forum has a user base but would be nice to know how many are still running and or in store, and what the kit consists of. [ Same goes for all Amigas really ]

I think the A1200 not having a HD drive was nothing more than a cost cutting move.  They were trying to make the A1200 the new C-64 and wanted it affordable to the masses.

I insisted that when I bought my A1200 it came with the massive 80MB hard drive... Took me a while to fill then I went 350MB .. which cost me £350. Still in the 1200 and working fine. Nothing changes though, may as well be 80GB to 350GB in the current market and fills about the same speed. Except with the Amiga I really could completely fill the drive and it would work just fine.

Happy days.
