Hey!! Skip Diving is an art. The number of gem's I've turned up through diving is amazing.

Prototype to the PSOne.
PSOne Psygnosis PsyQ Devkit.
SuperNintendo Hardware reference manuals (including SFX)
Sega Saturn Devkit.
Abandoned 3DFX based Dreamcast
StarFox II cartridge (and source code ;-))
Atari Jaguar Devkit (Alpine board + CD debug toilet)
Beta CD-Rs of Creature Shock for the Atari Jaguar
Amiga A3000
Atari StarWars upright arcade machine
Atari Badlands arcade machine
Numerous laptops who's only fault is a broken screen.
Any Sun workstation you care to mention
Silicon Graphics Indy 2


Live or work near a games developer by any chance? :-)
IIRC, Frontier Developments is based near Oxford. You haven't been going through David Braben's bins have you alexh? :lol:

RAGE or Psygnosis?


Rage? Don't be silly. I think you'll find Alexander Holland worked for Psygnosis. ;-)

I was describing the state of the Amiga, rather accurately as it happens... Sure nothing wrong with "dumpster diving", but unfortunately that is state of the art with respect to the Amiga...


I agree bloodline. I mean what's the most powerful graphics card you can use with an Amiga? IIRC its the ATI Radeon 9800, which was released, for the PC, back in 2002. That said, I am looking forward to the opportunities the Natami brings.
