An oppertunity to buy an amiga 600 has come up and I cant decide if I should or not! Basicaly I have a 500 and have wanted a 1200 for some time but not really been fussed about the 600. I sort off see it stuck in the middle with ECS being not much better than the 500 but with the chance to fit a harddrive which is something I have wanted on an amiga which would be cool! I do think its the best looking of the amigas though!

So basicaly I wondered what you all think of the 600 should I buy it??


do not buy an A600 is a waste of money
however there are some fanatics that can say yes
but the A600 is the worst amiga model in my opinion and most of amiga users will agree
go for the A1200 much better faster and expandable machine

The A1200 is obviously the better machine by far and I'd get one first with 030 CPU but I can't see why to not get an A600 also. I don't agree with you that it's the worst Amiga model, yes it was a bad model when it was released as it brought little new to the table and the A1200 was just months away but we don't live in the 90's anymore and with todays available expansions for it I think it's a great ECS machine thanks to its small size.


sincerely I do not see any advantage getting the A600 over the A1200
if you can name a program or game that fails on the A1200 but works on the A600
so....how you can justify it ? because the A600 it's smaller ?
maybe you can justify to get an A500 with kick 1.2 because all those old games will work there...... but for the A600?


btw, check this recent thread about the worst amiga model....check the winner lol
