Greetings everyone
« on: January 06, 2012, 08:39:37 PM »
Howdy from just north of Dallas in the great state of Texas! I am a new poster to these forums, but I have been reading them for years.
A little history: my first usable computer was a C64 in the mid to late 80's, which I loved, and was my gateway drug into the wonderful world of Amiga.
I have an A500, sadly mostly nonfunctional these days, and a towerized A1200 which I have been working on off and on for the last 15 years.
I love computers in general, but the Amiga always was my favorite.  
Looking forward to conversing with fellow Amiga enthusiasts :)

Hi Darrin, as a matter of fact, I live in Denton.  
I am just starting to get back into the world of Amiga, so I welcome all suggestions for improving the A1200.  I definitely have the Subway USB on my wishlist. I'm not familiar with the Indivision SDFF, I take it that's a graphics card?  I currently have a Cybervision 64/3d MKII, but like to see what would be a better option.
edit: I must be half asleep.  SDFF = scandoubler flicker fixer. lol glad to see my noob hat still fits

My brain belatedly informed me what SDFF stood for :)  I had a scandoubler, before I got the Cybervison.  The name of it escapes me though, that was a good 10 years or so ago. Thanks for setting me straight anyway :)

My Cybervision is plugged into a zorro 3 slot of the ZIV baseboard. I hope to get a mediator pci  at some point, available funds allowing. :)

Have I seen you floating around EAB and AW? You look familiar lol.

Possibly AW, although I've not been on there in quite some time. I guess I should go see if I can still remember my login over there :)

Heya Smerf,
Yes, I am a Cowboys fan, although we haven't had much to cheer about lately.  And I most definitely have horns, I just keep 'em hidden.  :P
I really wanted a CD32 when they came out, but never got around to getting one. Such is life. What kind of tower did you use for your A1200?

Oddly in all the years I've been on this earth, the "steers and queers" comment has never upset a single Texan I know.

I suspect they created the myth to throw us off some true agenda....

:laughing:
I can neither confirm nor deny the validity of that suspicion.... :)
