At the moment, my A1200 serves as a serial console for my Raspberry Pi.  I also run AmiMSX frequently to read/write disks for my MSX2, and am currently trying to beat Black Tiger in WHDLOAD.
A1200: 50mhz GVP Jaws II+, OS 3.1, 32mb Fast, 1gb HD, Indivision MKIICR, PCMCIA network
A4000D: stock 030/25, OS 3.9, 16mb Fast, 1gb HD, Picasso II, Ariadne II, IOExtender

I use my A4000 for games. I haven't had a desire to try and expand it to try and do 'modern stuff' as that seems too expensive for the returns.


Amen.  I'm (still) in the process of bringing my A4000D back to life, and the ROI for new hardware isn't much for the limited gains.  Thankfully my needs are simple, and the Picasso II, Ariadne 2, and GVP I/O Extender salvaged from my dead A2000 should turn my A4000D into a respectable system again.

Hmm, it appears I'll be using my Amigas a lot more often now... I've finally resurrected my A4000D!
