new member saying hello
« on: March 23, 2008, 05:17:30 PM »
Just found this forum last night.
Own several c=64 & 128's, A500, A4000, and a A3000 (in storage).
Everything was in storage for between 5 & 6 yrs after moving, so I'm just getting systems back up and running.
A4000/40 is attached to C-1950. Nothing is online yet.
Seemed to have lost my 1084S in moving, so the A500 isn't running yet (unless I hook it up to the 1950). I have the C=390682-01 for the monitor.
A4000 has a lot of Mac board/attachments that haven't been used in quite some yrs.
Gotta dig out some old Jumpdisks and other software. Have lots of DTP software, but need to figure out how to get one of my printers working on it. Printers are: Brother HL-1440, HP LJ4L, and HPDJ 870.

Any way, just saying hello :)

Thanks everybody for the welcome! Appreciated :)

Just found this forum because we moved, C= stuff and Amiga stuff was in storage (I had no way to connect to my cable modem). That has been for over 5 yrs :(
More to the story, but it's all sad and not interesting reading ;)
Any way, this week I was able to get a 64, a 128, and the 4000 up and running. Going through software like crazy seeing what all I have. The 4000 was about 90% used for DTP. Rest of times was for a few games (lemmings, card games, basketball/football,etc).
I have the IVS Trumpcard with 40meg hd for the 500, so I may have to hook it up to the 1950 and see whats on it.
Getting old seems to affect memory in more ways than one ;)
Getting on the net is through OS/2 Warp, *bsd, or linux. Once in a very rare moment, I'll boot M$ (basically for updates).

I intend on being here a while..just gotta get the machines going, relearning everything, somehow get a printer working with one of the machines, etc.

Thanks again.

Sorry, been busy.
I live in Southcentral Idaho :)
I just got the A4000 unpacked last week (the 3000 is in storage). About the only games I play(ed) is/are older ones: Lemmings, Basketball, Football, and a couple other oldies.
Primarily, the computer was used for DTP with PageStream, Pro Write, Professional Page, and Final Writer.

Thanks for the info about the battery. I will do that promptly. I didn't know about that. Been off the Amiga scene for too long :(

Also, the 4000 has MacLink and Emplant with assorted hardware :)   Been awhile.

The user name is a carry over from other forums and is easier for me to remember than learning a new one. Besides, without the c=64/128 what would we be using??  :)    
(I hope that doesn't get me in trouble)

Right now, I'm trying to get a printer working with the 4000, but thats for another area/posting.

Thanks again all of you for the welcome.
