You got it right the first time... ;)

I'd never in 25 years heard the term "Classic" being applied to the Amiga until Hyperion released OS4.0 for "Classic" Amigas... :)

Now that's all these forums and sites refer to the Amiga as is "Classic" they should really be just called Amigas not "real" or "classic"... :)

Just saying like... ;)


Exactly, everything else are just OS4/MorphOS/AROS compatible machines not 'Amiga' which is a machine architecture and standard sold by Commodore in the mid 80s to mid 90s and then for a while by ESCOM. No Paula soundchip = not Amiga

*stirs vigorously*

Hi,

I use Cloanto's Amiga Forever 2011. Even though I have all my classics set up, I turn them on about once a week in order to keep the batteries charged. Other than that I use a replaceable PC to use as my Amiga.

Just remember (FRANKO) when that old silicon goes, your pal (not video) is gone. I have one dead A500 and one dead A4000 up in the attic. My original A4000 keeps on singing though.  The two dead ones I bought from ebay.

Same here, one dead A500+ and 2x dead A2000 machines all beyond repair. If I had the money it would always be real Amiga, but without a HD for my lonely A1000 then it is not used more than WinUAE.

Anyway AROS/OS4/MOS all use UAE to play Rocket Ranger so I am just cutting out the bespoke motherboard purchase by using WinUAE :)

BOO... HISS... TRAITOR... :madashell:

(Sorry couldn't think of anything else to say but that... :D)


I should have added .....

"...when I am actually using an emulated system because there is no Paula chip on the motherboard"

;)

I would love to get my A2000 up and running but it's dead and don't have £100 to fix it in the time of council tax and car insurance renewal right now even if the parts do appear on e-scum-bay ;)
