My new Amiga 3000

Awesome, I picked up up the same config 6 months ago for $50 cdn. I installed classic workbench http://classicwb.abime.net/classicweb/68k2.htm. I made a serial cable too and used amiga explore to transfer everything over.. whdload game machine it is! although i only got a 350 meg hd (which is more than enough)  and it had 3.1 roms installed too what i feel was pretty lucky.. I did have to remove the battery due to leakage and replace the hd floppy with another regular 880k from a a500. With a few modifications to the brackets i made it fit and look factory. here is some pics. http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=51809&highlight=a3000

well i say about 75% of what i have tried worked. which i figure is not too bad considering.. Some games have there own hd installs too. And what doesn't work i have trust old a500 sitting here to pick up slack with 3 megs ram and 500 meg hd. then there winuae if really have a need to play something (like aga).. One day i will get off me old cheapo A$$ and pick one up.

lol .. I watch the local ads and http://winnipeg.kijiji.ca/ like a hawk! there is a couple of a500's up there cheap and i bet you can get them even less for what they are asking for. One i have even picked up for free (a500). never know when you need a back up or spare parts.

A thing most guys does not realize: there is a gizmo called Lantronix MSS100, which is a ethernet modem emulator.

 They pop on Ebay every now and then. Wait for one for less than 30USD.

 What it does? It emulates a modem using the serial port of the Amiga and translate the commands to Ethernet, so all you need is the net stack (Miami, Genesis, AmiTCP, etc), a generic Hayes modem driver and on the hardware side a router (for obvious reasons).

Here comes a link for what I said

Wow that is soo cool. I think i might look into that!
