How many Amiga configurations do you own now?

I tend to agree with others here.  If you already have a tricked out A2000 with native (ECS) and retargetable graphics, adding an AGA machine with an Indivision would cover all the classic bases.  I think it's expensive to move a 1200 up to RTG.  Some solutions look better before you invest in the reality.

The only thing left after that is OS4.x on new hardware.


That makes sense. I currently have a A1000, a A2000 with GVP 040, and the A1200 that I just got on EBay.

But I'm kind of s sentimental old SOB, so I might digress further in the future, with another A1200 in a tower. And I may investigate an A3000 and/or A4000 in the future. I never kept up with Miggy stuff in the later days, and I can't remember the skinny on the 1200 vs 3000 vs 4000?

I have every Timex/Sinclair ever made, from the ZX80 through the QL, including a TS1500. I'm actually not a real big game buff, but there was a game I played on my TS2068 that I really liked, and I would like to find something similar to it for the Amiga. I'll have to dig out my TS2068 and see what that game was. My TS2068 is of course tricked out about as much as the TS1000 in my stage lighting controller :-D

What's Peg2 and Morph OS?


Pegasos 2 is the ultimate machine and MorphOS is the smoothest and faster operating system you will notice around, that is my opinion and now lets see some standard points: Pegasos 2 CPU is based on PPC technology, there are G3 and G4 models up to 1Ghz with memory able to be expanded up to 1 giga. It is faster than Sam 440. You can add standard PC hardware to a Pegasos and there are certain series of graphic, TV and sound cards supported.

MorphOS has its root on AmigaOS. It can run natively, smoothly and fast almost every 68k Amiga software –so you do not have to drop your old Amiga 2000 stuff away-, but unfortunately it can not run games in native mode as they make use of the Amiga chipset which is not supported by Pegasos2. But the issue of games is solved as well as there is an UAE emulator available for MorphOS that allows you to run the entire of Amiga software. If you re a fun of gaming there is also a Multiple arcades Machine Emulator –MAME- available for MorphOS, letting you play all your favorite old coin ops.

MorphOS rules.

That's a sweet looking desktop!

An Amiga emulator for the Amiga? I've heard it all now  :-D

I'll have to look into MorphOS.

My EBay A1200 shipped today! The stuff I ordered for my A2000 did not :boohoo: I'm having a flashback of how long it took to receive Amiga hardware that I have ordered  :boohoo:
