Not enough!


I use a CD32 for games and an A2000 for game software I can not run on the CD32 and for productivity software (you don't need blinding speed to run a text editor, for instance).
AND I have a couple of MorphOS system that have the speed and power the legacy hardware lack, they make web browsing less painful.

BTW - You CAN use this kind of combination as your primary hardware.
I will often take time off from Windows and do just that.

Not much, since my fpga system is dedicated to other uses, and my A2000 is awaiting some upgrades (but we don't need to go there again).
I wish I'd bought an A1200 when they were available and relatively cheap, but I do have a CD32 with an SX1 that acts as a substitute.
That would be my primary Amiga system, as I don't consider my MorphOS systems Amigas.
And I think I get more use out of the MorphOS hardware (even without legacy hardware compatibility), because it just plain runs SO much better.

I hope the SX-1 is treating you well. Mine was a bit unstable with the addition of a 2.5" hard drive AND 8mb SIMM module. Either one or the other was fine but not both! Yes, I had a beefed up power supply, but the SX32 was a far better machine IMHO.


Absolutely no doubt there, and the only way to upgrade the CD32's surface mounted cpu.
My SX1 has been pretty stable, but I don't have that much memory. I do have a 2.5" hard drive though.
And its fun to try to create CDs that will boot titles not native to the CD32.
