Re: What did your amiga look like in 1991?

I had an amiga 500 with hd/memory sidecar and a 1084 monitor. My pc at that time (a 386) was used to run a bbs so the amiga 500 was my main computer for most things.
 
I wanted to upgrade to an amiga 2000 and run my bbs on that with cnet and have enough proc/ram left over to do my own stuff but never did. It was crazy expensive to get enough hardware to do that at that time.
 
My two computer setup worked nice for me at that time. The amiga for games, dialing out to other systems and anything I needed to do and the pc to run my bbs.

Amiga 500, 1084s with extra external floppy drive...
An old stereo power amp with amiga going to aux channel and some big kickin
speakers. A 2400 baud modem and a sound sampler.

My amiga 500 was esentially my protracker music and sampling workstation.
Thousands of floppy disks filled with samples. I learned to sequence music
and create samples thanks to amiga.

I sure don't miss flipping sample disks for hours on end trying to find the perfect kickdrum sound...:laughing:
