For now I'm feeling that Amiga magic with help of my A1200/030/Indivision stuff. Occasionally A500 startup just for kicks and yea, it's working. Life is good!
In addition, Amiga magic is also very evident when you check some of hardware prices these days, c'mon where's the R-E-P-R-O-D-U-C-T-I-O-N industry for us?!?! If I can buy, let's say brand new Chevelle, Camaro, Mustang body and all the related parts for these machines made some 40 years ago, makes me wonder why there isn't such a thing as PPC/060 repop accelerator for that old trusty A1200???
The reason that there is no PPC/060 Repop is because the SOURCE for the logic (FPGA) is probably long lost now, you could probably export out the bitfile but that does not get you the VHDL source. Not to mention, the 060 at least is no longer made (is it ?).
I started with a humble A500 from Dixons after seeing Shadow of the Beast demo in store (Yes, the Psygnosis demo disk). I saved up, and got one. Then I emigrated from UK to Australia with my Parents, and Qantas misdirected the A500 (in its box), I was waiting for it in Perth, and it flew on to Sydney. It turned up a few days later.
Now I live in Melbourne, and i have 2x A500 (One of which is the A500 with more frequent flyer miles than me), A1000, A1200, A4000, Minimig.
I got a dual core PC, with a 4870 that has WinBlows 7, and plays Just Cause 2 ("GET IN SCORPION!!!"), so it can safely run Winuae, or my Xbox that can run Winuaex, but I STILL get the urge to hit the Amiga's power button to "ON".
