back in business!
« on: October 16, 2006, 10:20:27 PM »
Hello everyone ;)

Been lurking around for a while before making this post. Im not entirely new to the Amiga scene, having bought my first one (a500) in 1990. However, I switched (from my 1200/ppc tower) to pc around 1999 for various reasons, and my whole commodore collection started collecting dust.. :|

Now that I've moved to a bigger house in Amsterdam, I finally have the time and space to have another look.. So far I have sold various c64's and an a500+, and still have some other things for sale. I have decided to keep my a500, 4040 and a1200t, but I need a new powerpc (240mhz,060) board since the old one blew up. I also have the 3 'general' c64 models, a plus/4, c16, c128d and various consoles. As you may understand, I kindly refused an a3000 and a2000, due to lack of space.. :|

For what its worth, I dont 'believe' in amigaone, os4 or anything like that. For me Amiga = 68k/ppc. I have a very fast pc for all the regular things I need to do and I dont think the Amiga (as we know it) will ever have the future it deserved, due to various reasons.

My main interests for the Amiga are:

-general workbench usage (COZ IT IS TEH FUN!!!!!11)
-IRC
-demoscene
-protracker
-gaming

Thats about it!

Thanks all ;)

No Im afraid I wont make it to Maarssen this weekend, though Ive been there a few years ago and had a great time :) I will be there some other time, promised.

About AmigaOne, ofcourse I meant classic Amiga expanded with a 603/604 board, no new hardware for me. Not even mediator or anything like that.

Of all Amiga's mentioned, the only one Im still looking for is a nice expanded a600, to use in the living room.

Last, Tahoe, where do you live in Amsterdam? And uhm, when will you be picking up the a1200 cases you wanted?  :madashell:  :lol:

because I hadnt heard of it until a few months ago.. and I already sold the broken board to someone who probably has a working one by now :)

nah, I doubt they were able to fix it, a lot of pins were broken..

Hyperspeed: lol.. not sure where you come from, but please get rid of those prejudices :P There have been quite a few Amiga parties over here, though I kinda forgot their names.. Ofcourse this was all back in the early nineties..

Waran: I recently tested all my hardware, and to my surprise they all worked pretty fine, even the 128d. Unfortunately, I stored them in dust-free boxes and will probably not use them a lot.. My c64-2 is on my desk though, aswell as the a1200t and the pc. Pictures will arrive soon. I do have a problem with my vic20, it has a strange video/output connector, for which I dont have a cable. I expected it to have a normal rf-out like the c64, but it hasnt.

Odin: Hoi! ;) Its probably still up for grabs, but its in bad condition. It does have a (once) very expensive framegrabber and harddrive. Perhaps I will pick it up, perhaps I will not :) The A2000 really was too bulky, they threw it away. :/
