So how many people here actually still have their classic Amiga setup and use it on a regular basis - i.e. not just sitting there sucking up electricity?
I used to love the Amiga and was a die hard user up until about 1998 when I finally got a job in the IT field and then my system went neglected and I sold it. It was an Amiga 3000 decked out with 16MB SC Zips, a Picasso IV, and pregnant mouse, a Bernouli Box 20MB cartridge system, 32X CD-ROM, and no battery damage at all. I kick myself every time I think about having let it go.
So I got the itch again a few years ago, as I periodically do, and ended up getting Amiga Forever and that of course manifested into purchasing a few A500's and another Amiga 3000. It has very slight battery damage (system appears to work fine but has an occasional crash... but that may be software related), has 16MB Fast Page Mode, a DENEB, a Samsung USB DVD-RW, and NetGear 10/100 USB dongle attached to a Buffalo AirStation wireless adapter.
However, I have a hard time justifying setting it up because of a) space and b) I'm not sure I'd actually use it other than a feel-good tie back to the good-ole days. What makes it worse is that I have a line on another A3K for parts which has 16MB Fast (possibly SC ZIPS) but I'm unsure as to the battery status (the guy has had it stored for years) and he said the system only boots to a black screen. It also has a (apparently) non working Picasso II card and a Emplant board so I'm willing to throw a little green at least to say I had a chance to gaze upon some of this classic hardware.
So what advise can people here provide, if any?
