My Amiga 1200 surfs the net

[Franko]

It's been most enjoyable helping you out MrMoonlight. It's been really refreshing to find someone who is totally new to the Amiga and who has so much enthusiasm about the wonders of the Amiga.

I reckon by your enthusiasm and willingness you have shown for learning about the Amiga, you can look forward to many years of pleasure this machine will bring you.

I have to say your a very pleasant and patient man, as 16+ hours talking on the phone with me & my broad scottish accent can't have been easy. I reckon we could have solved your problems in half the time if subtitles were available via the phone... :roflmao:

Good luck with your new Amiga and don't give up when you get stuck, myself and plenty of others here on Amiga.org will be only to glad to help you out.

After helping out MrMoonlight to solve some of his problems, he kindly sent me some screens shots of his Amiga using the net. I was quite impressed by the results.

Despite the fact that I've only ever used amiga's for over 20 years I have never actually used one to go online. But after seeing what MrM can do with his, and thanks to some great advice from Cammy from a recent thread advising me what I need to buy, I have finally decided to buy the bit & bobs required and get at least one of my miggy's on the net.

MrMoonlight is now proficient enough to help me figure out what to do when I come to set mine up for the net, even after 20 odd years of using Amigas on a daily basis I am still learning new things about this wonderful machine thanks to the help of others on here. To me that's what the real spirit of being a member of the Amiga community is all about, long may it continue...

Hi Franko,

I'm looking at doing exactly the same - only I see AmigaKit no longer have PCMCIA network cards in stock (and for once - none found on ebay!).   I also need confirmation that my Apollo 1230 with >4Mb RAM won't conflict with my PCMCIA interface.

Hopefully more of us will be online with our Miggies soon

I've been scouring the net trying to find anything about your Apollo 1230 and conflicts with PCMCIA port, can't find anything yet that confirms this, but if I do find something about it I'll let you know.

Hi Brian,

Those screenshots you sent me have convinced me to try and get one of my Amiga's on the net. Just been looking at AmigaKits site and I can't find the adapter on it anywhere.

I'm sure you said that's where you got yours from, or did you buy yours from somewhere else...

Cheers
