Hello. I was told that in order to get the real amiga experience, that I should be using the 3000. I had a 1200 and really liked it. I used it for a while until it was thrown out in the trash (a mistake on roomate's part). I have a 4000, but dont want to mess around with the scan converter (and its really a video toaster machine anyway). I'm looking for something that gives the full amiga experience, without the hassle of a scan converter, allowing me to do what I need to do on a amiga.
I still enjoy the Amiga experience and I gotta say I use my A1200 with expanded SCSI with a Multisync monitor on OS3.0 for most things. My second most used machine is an A1200 in a tower with scandoubler running an Iiyima monitor followed by my A4000D with PicassoIV running with a Mitsubishi monitor. My A1200 basic machine is on broadband with Miami. I have mothballed A3000s and wouldn't use them seriously. All my software games etc run through the 1200 as that has been my main Amiga since 1993 and has grown up with me over the years... I have never had any grumbles with the computer and still love it to death.
The A3000 was not part of the last generation of Amiga models, which were really the A600, 1200 and 4000. These later models were heavily developed outside of the Commodore pond post 93. So there is oodles of kit lying around for them, and, they were modded to take the newer technology.
