Amiga 500 w/512K expansion and 1084s monitor.
What I might have had also (not sure when I got them actually) was a HAM-E graphics board and a Dataflyer with (I think) a 50M hard drive...  (And a digiview gold and electronic color splitter)

And...er.. a lot of floppies..

Amiga 500 w/ 2M CHIP and 8M FAST RAM, DCTV, AEHD floppy, and 1084S.
Amiga 1000 w/ 4M FAST RAM, DUAL CF hard drives, external floppy.

Nice! I remember the importance of having a clock nearby too. The Online experience was so damned expensive then!
OMG, I learned my lesson there!!!!!!!  :(
I had a Compuserve account and would hang out in the Amiga forums sparingly..  For a bit..
Then I lost the clock or something.. I remember it this way...

I was in a chat session where Black Belt was talking about their new Hardware, HAM-E...
They were going to give one away to a "lucky" member...

Well, I WAS that lucky member!!   :):):):):)
Yeay!  That was an over $300 piece of hardware I would NEVER have bought!!

SWEET!!!!

Then, next month I got my CServe bill and did the math and realized I had "overspent" for the last few months by...  yep, almost $400!!!!

Aarrgghh!!!

Loved the HAM-E, cancelled Compuserve..  Worked LOTS of extra hours....

:roflmao:

... AMAX Mac Emulator,

Oh, I wanted one of those SO BADLY!!!!
Had the pirate version, but of course, no Mac floppy option there..
(Actually, I think I read that there was a schematic to do that, but I never knew about that at the time).

I do now have an A-Max..  Better late than never..   :roflmao:
