I'd be interested in a list of books to do with C and the Amiga  :rtfm:

I'm trying to learn my old brain how to program in C  :lol:  :lol:

I guess both our brains are about the same age - although I think mine may be sligthly older  :lol:

Thanks for that. Don't worry Gaz I'll leave some for you :lol:

I also prefer the hard stuff. It makes it a lot easier to look up something when trying to program.

I've programmed in all sorts of stuff over the years, Basic (various forms), 6502, Amos, etc.

I dabbled in C a long while ago but want to get back into it and program something usefull ;-)

I started out as a Spectrum boy many MANY years ago and jumped to the miggy in '92'.

I have allways loved user manuals and so on.

My current set-up is an A1200 Blizzard '030' 50 Mhz with 32 MB ram and 40 GB HD, OS 3.9 with a ton of WHD games.

If only have the time to 'play' with the Amiga for real ;-(

The books are ALL in pretty good condition but with 4 kids and a 'nagging' wife;-) I just need to clear my stuff!!!!


I started on a cartridge game ssytem that had a programmable cartridge with it - now that was hard work because you had to type the program in binary  :pissed:

The moved onto the UK101 - I developed software and hardware for that ancient machine. Even made a speach board for it. My first true computer.

At different stages I've owned and programmed Spectrums, Toshiba MSX, Orics, Dragons and a few others I can't remember.

I've purchased books off the Bay but it's a right pain in the ass at times. I recently purchased a full set of RKMs because there was one in the set I hadn't got.

I loved the keyboard on the UK101 and MSX - they are the best I've come across so far.

I use a PC at work and for editing my videos at home. I hate the bluddy things :madashell: Although it's the PC and the various emulators that have got me back into using my Miggys :-)

I forgot the BBC B (there's bound to be others I can't remember) and most importantly all the Miggys I've had and those I've still got  :-)

My main Miggy is the 4000D I got off the Bay and have since been getting back into decent shape. Also got a towered 1200, couple plain desktop 1200, 2 500+, 500 V1.2 and until recently my original 2000HD, 600 and CDTV.

I can understand plain C and program a bit with it - I just need to understand more about how to program the Miggy with it  :roll:
