You can easily find out your Kickstart and Workbench version:

Start up to workbench (either from floppy disk or harddisk), right click your mouse button and go to the menu-option Worbench-About.

You'll probably have Kickstart 39.106, which is 3.0

How much RAM? Easy as well. Just click anywhere in the Workbench and look at the top of the screen. You should see around 2MB of Chip RAM (graphic memory). If you also have other memory, then you have some sort of RAM add-on.

For the size of the harddisk you just have to add the amount of used+free: 97+77+1189+11 = 1374MB, so somewhere around 1.3GB.

And as for RAM: Showconfig says it all: 2.0 meg - this is standard for the Amiga 1200.

Finally, you have Kickstart 3.0. I suggest that you upgrade to 3.1 if you want to expand your Amiga a bit further.

The programs:
-CygnusEd is a text-editor, with lots of functions (ideal for programming in quite a few languages)
-MagicWB and MUI are Workbench-enhancers: you can tweak the looks of Workbench in a lot of ways using these 2 programs.
-XCopyPro is a program to copy disks. Mostly used in the past for illegal copying of cracked games.
-Spectrum Emulator sounds like an emulator for Spectrum computers I presume :-)


However, if I were you I'd just format the harddrive and do a clean install of Workbench. You can get most of the programs from Aminet, or at least decent equivalents. This way you also get rid of a lot of (memory eating) junk that still might be on the harddisk...
