Hi community!

Hi Cammy!

Thanks for the heads up! Iam aware of the snapshot method used by workbench - I kind of had no other choice but to learn to use it after I've installed roughly a hundred WHDLoad Games and wanted to sort the Icons Then, I found out I can also just switch to "View as List" and Snapshot that. Easier to find things than with all those drawer graphics

Thanks for the hint with the overscan! I'll check on that soon. However, the picture on the CRT is pretty... 'wobbly', and since its also pretty large and the serial mouse / joystick / joypad cables are very short, I get a headache and hurting eyes quite fast. So, as you suggested in some other thread, I plan on simply getting a LCD/TFT TV - that should probably fix it for me

Also, thanks for remining me on getting protective covers for the magazines - those in that shelf are "only" from 2004 - 2009 and PC magazines, but I forgot to take pictures of the magazines I bought in mostly great condition And those are "ASM" and "Amiga Joker", two of the biggest back then. I've bought the issues that have the tests for my favourite games in them

Also, I found my first two computer magazines, from 1989. They're in great condition as well, I shall take care that they end up in protective covers and in some place where people can look at them.

Hm, my place is slowly transforming into a mix of computer museum and zoo ^^

Thanks,

Nice pics of your setup and solar power, how much did that cost you? (In Euro is fine, I can convert it )  

Two Amiga Shops in nearby countries to you are Vesalia and Efunzine, Germany and Poland respectively, Efunzine has very reasonable prices on Accelerators (Turbo-Karte, if my German is correct?)

The photovoltaics was about 23.400 Euros. However, here you get back part of that money from the government, so in the end it was about 18k i had to pay myself.

I already got a 68030 in my A1200, thanks And i have a quite good private seller at hand who also offers quite good prices and a lot of support

Ahoi!

Today I'am 30 years old (ya... FML ), but already registered here a while ago. How that relates? Well, I decided to wish for something I actually wanted when i was way younger, but could not afford: An Amiga 1200

However, my knowledge of Amiga Soft- and Hardware is basically not existant; Except for games. Lots and lots of games. I think i still know most cheat codes for the games I had for my A500, which is a lot

That said, I'am primarily here to meet people who also love Commodore machines. I'am sure I can learn a lot and will bathe in nostalgia to keep myself from thinking of how old I just turned :/ (subjective feeling, I'am not saying that anyone else 30+ is old or has to feel old just because i feel that way).

So on friday I shall get my new toy, an Amiga 1200 in great condition with a 4GB IDE-CF Adapter+Card, 030 Turbocard, ADF Transfer Kit and a lot of other things, together with a lot of original games - basically all my favourites from back in the earlier '90s.  

I'am sure I'll ask a lot of questions and hope to find answers. Also i want to fix my A500 and C64 and hope for people with more hardware knowledge to help me find the broken parts.

Oh, and my first language is not english, but german, so please correct me if I have wrong spelling or grammer

KR,

Take my advice.
Get out while you still can.
Sell your hardware and forget the Amiga ever existed.
It'll bring you nothing but torment.
Please take my advice.

Hi,

@tension,

now why would you say that, I have owned an Amiga ever since they came out. (Well actually two weeks after they came out) I have had more fun with the Amiga line then I have ever had with a PC. Now I know I just about use Cloanto's Amiga Forever more than I use my real Amiga's, but I consider that as just trying to save my real Amiga's when I have some jerk come over and tell me how good his PC is.
