I hope the SX-1 is treating you well. Mine was a bit unstable with the addition of a 2.5" hard drive AND 8mb SIMM module. Either one or the other was fine but not both! Yes, I had a beefed up power supply, but the SX32 was a far better machine IMHO.

Absolutely no doubt there, and the only way to upgrade the CD32's surface mounted cpu.
My SX1 has been pretty stable, but I don't have that much memory. I do have a 2.5" hard drive though.
And its fun to try to create CDs that will boot titles not native to the CD32.

I have been doing a landscape in Dpaint on my 1000. A very nice retro feeling, especially on a 1084 monitor.

I barely use them at all, but just cant sell them. So far I've spend considerable time and money upgrading and fixing them to no clear purpose.
Better sorry than worry.

ah the dilemna:hammer: but ultimately if you don't use them you'll end up selling them and make some decent money only to bloody regret it, you'll push back the regret and think about other things..for a while until you see a demo, hear a mod, check in on Amiga forums and then....you'll try to find a mint miggy the way you once had it and spend 2x the amount you sold it for to get her back:rtfm:....

At home I have an Amiga 2000 '020 and an Amiga 1000. At the office in DC I have my SAM440ep-Flex running OS4.1FE.

I've used the Amiga 1000 to access telnet BBSs for a while,

And more recently have started doing so via the WiFi232 device.

I use the SAM a few times a week at work just browsing, playing with the OS and various apps, etc. I am considering a 1222 down the road.
