Dear Friend:

I am not in Japan...but I have an idea. Get 'amiga forever' is pc emulator for amiga, it costs little and you can download all programs for amiga and play for free. You can use amiga forever until you get a real amiga.

That sounds like a good idea unfortunately I don`t have a PC just a bloody MacBook which has been causing me all kinds of problems.  Hmmm maybe I should get a cheap pc just to run Amiga Forever for the mean time.  :roll:

You can use EUAE on your MacBook in conjunction with the Amiga Workbench and Kickstart ROM images in the Amiga Forever package.  You may also want to look up the HiToro GUI front-end for EUAE.  The last place I saw HiToro was at the Apple.com download page but I couldn't figure out how to get it to work.  (I was using an IMac G4 at school at the time and it didn't have the latest OSX on it.)

It doesn't say it comes with an accelerator card or any memory expansion.  You'll have to get an accelerator card for it for the A1200 to be much good.  I don't know about the price at all since I haven't bought an A1200 since my first in 1993.  You'll probably be better off with AmigaForever on your MacBook for most purposes.

If you want to play games on your A1200 look for a 68030-based accelerator since those seem to be the most compatible with WHDLoad and so on.  Try to find a PAL-capable monitor since you won't be able to use the composite outputs in color on an NTSC monitor due to differences in the colorburst signal on the chromanence cable.
