Re: Which Amiga Set Up Do You Use...

Currently my towered A4000 is my main machine along with my Minimig v1.1 (ARM).

At some point I need to eBay a few spare miggies that are just gathering dust, but I want to assemble them as useful working systems.  I know I can get more breaking them up, but I want to hand over some working sytems hopefully to people getting back into the Amiga and who might have forgotten half of what they knew.

Plans are for:

A1200 in Elbox Tower (NTSC).
Keyboard adapter with PC keyboard.
IDE Hard drive fitted with Classic Workbench AGA pagage installed.
(no "u" adapter for PCMCIA)

A2000 ECS Modded to boot into PAL (can change back with jumper)
Buddha IDE card
IDE Hard drive with Classic Workbench package installed
IDE CD ROM
8MB Zorro RAM card (unless sold seperately in which case I'll insert a CBM Zorro SCSI card with 2MB)
"Amber" Scan Doubler/Flicker Fixer in graphics slot
A2000 Keyboard

A3000 68030 model with CBM040/25 CPU card fitted (from my A4000)
IIRC 4MB of ZIP RAM on mobo
2 x FDD
Classic Workbench package installed on either an internal SCSI drive (most likely) or an external ORB 2GB cartridge drive
A3000 keyboard

Odds and ends:
2 x Squirrel PCMCIA SCSI adapters with software
SCSI ORB 2GB drive (unless used in A3000)
Zorro II SCSI card with 2MB RAM (unless used in A2000)
Zorro II 8MB RAM card (unless used in A2000)
Broken A2000 GVP 68030 CPU card (sometimes works, mostly doesn't) with SIMM - hopefully someone can fix it
CD32 PAL unit with UK PSU & Controller
Philips CDi NTSC unit with FMV module, US power supply & controller
4 x Internal ZIP100 IDE drives
1 x External ZIP100 SCSI drive
any other stuff I find covered in cobwebs

oh, and a Cybervision 643D unless I install it in the A2000 or A3000...

I'll let you all know when I do it.  :D

Quickie on UAE, what sort of games you playing lol :)
 
On a smiliar note, anyone remember those games for the amiga, cant rememember the names, which were basically porn, but you had to move the mouse as quick as you could to get the man/women to arrive :)


I remember on that was grainy 3 clips (man humping woman, woman fondling jugs, man humping another woman) and you had to waggle the joystick back and forth until your wrist was so knackered that you couldn't hope to have a wank for a week!

That game sounds like my last trip to Brazil...


You can't beat Atlantica Avenue on Copacabana.

Just don't tell my wife I said that!  :D

Cyberstormed A4000 with a Mediator and the usual assortment of PCI cards, but I'm thinking of switching to a more basic A1200 setup.


You'll miss the graphics card for Workbench.

I have a beefed up A1200 setup (Flyer gold IDE, SDFF, PCMCIA network card) as well has my Mediator A4000 tower I can't remember when I last turned it on.

My "basic" Amiga is my Minimig.
