Use of the A500

[steve30]

They are better for games than the A1200.

The case is better than the A1200's as well - it is much easier to keep an extra floppy drive, joystick and modem on top of the A500 than it is on the 1200.

For more serious work though the A1200 is better.

I have had more bad experiences with games with the A1200 than I have with the A500+.

With the 500, games just work. On the A1200, sometimes, I have to switch the Blizard off, then change to OCS, and sometimes boot up with ReLoKick 1.3.
