Another Canadian form Edmonton
« on: December 13, 2005, 02:49:33 AM »
I should probably say hello as I have just started posting on here and havent done the introduction yet.

I live in Edmonton, Alberta. I started using my younger Brothers Amiga 500 when he won it in a cerial box contst in the 80's. I fell in love with its user interface (beat our  old AppleII into the ground) The games were very entertaining. I particularly liked "Tetrix". Several years later after moving out I decieded to buy an A3000T and then bought a Video Toaster 4000 card with 2 kitchen Sync TBC's And I started to do weddings and other videos for people. Shortly after a friend bought an A4000 and was blown away by its capabilities. I was sad to not have the advantages of the AGA chip on my 3000T with the Video Toaster 4000. In 1994 I finaly had access to a used A4000D with a Video Toaster flyer system and snaped it up as fast as I could. I still have that system today and have upgraded it to the millenium package but still am using the Stock 4000D I would love to upgrabe the CPU to a 68060 with more memory but they are way to pricy. I now have a seperate tower for the video and audio hard drives as well for the TBC's I am using all Segate Cheetah video drives (2-36gig, and 4-9.1 gig drives) and a Segate 9.6 gig  Barracudah for audio. The system still ROCKS!:-D

I am now 37 years old and still use my Amiga to play games and work on Videos and 3D in Lightwave.

Hi guys, Its nice to know that there are some Local Amiga users around. Im not very good at troubleshooting my Amiga But I have gotten by. I have had my main A3640 board die on me some months ago but thanks to a person here in Edmonton (He is a regular of the Amicue group) I was able to get a working one installed. I quickly went on ebay and picked up another one just for backup as I did not know that they were a problem.

Ok, I will try to be there :)

On just one other note. I have a spare Video Toaster 4000 board with 4.2 Software That I have no use for and I have been looking for some sort of memory exspansion board for my A4000D As I have a VT 4000 Flyer system and It needs a boost. Does anyone know of someone that would like to do a swap of the VT 4000 card and the other items listed below for one of the CPU memory expansion cards? Not sure if thats a fair deal but let me know please.

1) a Video Toster 4000 card in great condition in original box manual and 4.2 software.
2) an Opalvision 24bit graphics card with the software downloaded and installed on a CDrom.
3) an amiga 3000T flopy drive in great working condition.
4) amiga 3.0 roms, 2.04 roms and 2.05 workbench install floppies.
And I may be willing to let go of my Digital Personal TBC IV and Desktop RC 2000 remote controler.

If anyone is willing to trade to help my cause I would be very greatful hopfuly someone in my area can help. (Edmonton, Alberta, Canada)
