My Amiga in 1994 was like 386DX 33 MHz with 4MB of memory, a 130 MB HDD, Tseng ET3000 graphics card, Sound Blaster, 1.44 MB floppy and a VGA monitor.
Which was emough to run Linux in text mode. I had an Amiga 3000 25MHz with 6MB and NetBSD wouldn´t load X11 either. (Chip RAM was just used as a framebuffer).
However that year I ordered a 720MB HD which I have never filled up in my life. It works fine today.
My first Amiga (a 500) is pretty much unchanged in all those years. But the external CD-ROM (attached to a a590 harddrive which inherited the 80MB drive from the A3000 and has 2MB of fast ram installed) has gone now for reasons I don´t remember.
EDIT: By the way - my avatar image is that self same Amiga 3000. (editing this page doesn t work in OWB so I had to use Timberwolf, which in turn has some minor problems. - Hope you don t notice them .. Cheers!)
