A1000 owner is back
« on: January 14, 2007, 09:14:55 AM »
Hey all,

Decided to register and pester you all  :crazy:

My first Amiga was a 2nd hand A1000 v2 (EHB mode on Agnus) then a A2000 and finally first in the queue for an A1200 at Dixons :-)

I'm sorry to say but my work involves selling Microsoft machines to the masses but hey nobody is perfect  :lol: Seen and used just about anything you can imagine from 486 Toshibas to 17inch monster Sony laptops (until they sell ;-) ) and to be honest nothing will ever beat the experience of using my A1000 for the first time.

So just wanted to say hi to my fellow Amigans here  :banana:

Hi :-)

It was OS4 googling and then AmigaONE and SAM boards that lead me here on my travels to post, I would dearly love an OS4 system :-) But surfed these pages for the FPGA project for the OCS Amiga board many times too (wonderful project it is too).

I have a massive pile of parts that somehow used to be two working A2000s :lol: with quite a few memory boards, hard drive cards etc, a 386sx Commodore bridgeboard+PC stuff like IDE/Sound/VGA cards for the ISA slots. Will sort out one working machine from them parts oneday!

My two complete machines are a first release Commodore A1200 (got it on the day of the uk launch see) and also an Amiga A1000. both boxed. A1000 is my favourite machine of all time aswell

Also loose I have a nice yellow A500 :lol: for compatability, an A600 and a CD32.

And of all the games that ever proved how pants owning even a 10x faster pentium machine was, it's Super Stardust AGA (because it works without hassle unlike the pc/dos version and still better than the pc version I got ;-) )

edit: have been following AROS with interest, will probably try it on a spare laptop soon when I get an installation CD for it sorted out too :)
