Which OS to play Amiga games???

[Roman78]

Hello there,

I'm new here as you can see  :-D

My second computer was an Amiga 500, and i always (and still) play whit it. But the disks getting worser and worser. Now i was looking for an harddisk to put all my games on. But no one has one. Emulating like UEA doesn't also work right. Cant read my disks.

Now i am looking for an alternative os that i can ran on either an i386 or PPC machine. I've read about AmigaOS 3.1 and 3.9 even 4.0 But where can i get those, and what kind of hardware do i need. I Also downloaded AROS (www.aros.org). Could that be an alternative??

What i want is to download games an convert/read my old disks, and copy them to a harddisk. Because harddisk is more secure and much... very much faster than disks.

Can i just use normal IDE or SCSI harddisks and EDO or FastPage 72 pins memmory in a 4000?

Because there i have a lot of.

And what about an Amiga 2000 or 1000?

hmmm sounds good. I;ve got a lot computers but no PIII 800, slows is an dual 933, but thats my server running suse.  :lol:

But where can i get those software and disk contoler??? Is there an internetshop or a store here in holland who sell those???

I just want to save the software for the future, howmany software is lost and forgotten the last 10 years......

Hmmm € 99,- for the disk controler and than $39,- or $59,- for the software. Therefor i wil have a A4000 or 2 A1200.

Think i go for the A4000.
