Besides Amiga, what other platforms do/have you owned?
« on: June 08, 2006, 04:54:12 PM »
I now have 5 PC's! (2 donated) One inside an arcade machine running emulators, a HTPC, a Linux box and a couple others. The arcade machine and the HTPC do a reasonable job of emulating Amiga games, now that I no longer own any real hardware (though I probaly have enough parts kicking around to get an A500 going).  Five PC's is pushing it for both space and practicality and one or two will probably have to go sometime soon.

BTW, If youre into emulation I strongly recommend trying the FM-Towns and/or X68000, both machines are awesome examples of late 80's, early 90's computer tech'.  

I also have:

Dreamcast - A truly great machine!
Gamecube - Hardly used.
Xbox - Lately its gathered dust.
Atari Lynx - Still great...
Gamegear - In my car for when I get bored.
GBAsp - Get a GBA Movie Player!
DS - Bought for one game: Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow!

Most of my older machines (C64, A500, SegaMD ect) have been sold off or given to the Good Sammy's (charity).

What gear have you guys accumulated over the years and what are your impressions of them?

Well, there's too many to list here, really.  Here's a text list with photo links:

http://www.blakespot.com/list

And here's a QuckTime VR of the "Byte Celler" in which I keep my current collection:

http://www.bytecellar.com/qtvr.html

My "main" machine right now is a PowerMac G5 (dual 2.5GHz processors) with 4.5GB RAM and a 30" Cinema Display.  But I love the old machines.

The next purchase is a Nintendo DS Lite - I got on the last spot for Sunday's (June 11) shipment at a local GameStop store - yay!

Been "collecting" for about 26 years.

We've got, currently, in our house:

2 A600s
3 A1200s
2 NeXTs
1 PowerMac (I think... we gave some Macs away not long ago)
1 Ultra SPARC
1 Athlon 1400
2 IBM PCs
Laptops with everything from 8088 up to Pentium 3
1 Gumstix
A PC104 single board computer of some variety
and various other bits and bobs.

I used to have an Enterprise 128, well, I technically still do, but it's at my parents' house.  My Dad has a silly amount of computers as well, though.  ZX81's, Sinclair Spectrums, 2 Intellivisions, a Prinztronic, pretty archaic stuff... also several A1200s (including my brother's towerised one) and A500s.
[A1200/060, 32Mb fast RAM, 1.2Gb HDD, 19\\" Acer TFT Monitor]
I never write anything that won\\\'t run on a stock A1200.  That\\\'s the Jigsaw Lounge Guarantee.

The ones marked with a * i still have.
I think in this order:
C64
A500* currently own 3 of those
NES
A2000
Philips videopac g7000
Osbourne1
Amstrad x86 8086 <--- running windows 1.2 ;-)
Olivetti x86 8088
IBM X86 8086
x86 intel Pentium 133
C128d
PS1 *
PS2 *
Mac Portable *
Classic Mac
Sharp computer something * <--- do not recall the model
A1200*
Sun sparcstation 5*

And a bunch of other x86 boxes..
I sadly was young and got rid of the osbourne and only afterwards found out that it was rare :-( It worked 100% and even had some office software included. I swapped it for something else, and the new owner managed to put it near some magnets, so the floppies where ruined and then it was later scrapped since there was no software.

I also got rid of the NES and PS1, but still the mac portable which is also in perfect working order with the exception of the battery.

Edit: The c128d is also one i really regret parting with.. This one was also fully functional and had a orginal commodore monitor. :-(

Oh boy...  lotsa systems here...

Stuff I owned at the time they were hot:

(1983-1990) C64, C64c, 1581, multiple 1541s and clones, Skyles IEEE / SFD floppy drives, buffered serial interface, etc...

(1990-1992) Amiga 500, sidecar HD (Dataflyer+RAM)

(1992-1994) A1200, GVP 030 JAWS Series 1 @ 40mhz.

(1994-Present: retired to retro duty around 1999) A4000, CSMKII 060 @ 50mhz, CV64-3D, Ethernet.  -- (Currently the CSMKII isn't functional  :-(  It's still my very favorite Amiga, though, so eventually I'll either cough up the dough for a CSPPC or ship the CSMKII to Amiga Center France for repairs.)

(1999-2003) AMD T-Bird 900mhz (later upgraded to a OC'd 1100 mhz after a cheap processor swap), GeForce 2

(2003-Present) Pentium 4HT 3.0C (800fsb), added GeForce 6800 GT/OC in 2004 -- (My current main system)

(2003-Present) PocketPC -- HP iPaq 4155 (Can run PocketUAE and PocketCommodore64, which I HIGHLY recommend.)

Noteworthy Cool Stuff I accumulated well after it's heyday:

SGI Octane R10k / SSE (Wicked crazy system - replaced the faulty incandescant front panel with cold blue LEDs)

SGI Indigo 2 R4400 / Extreme (Bright Teal!)

A1200D / GVP Series II 030 (Feeling nostalgic about the one I sold to afford my A4000)

SX64 (Luggable C64 Goodness - currently needs some work)

NOS A500 (Thanks, Red!)

A3000 (Used to run a friend's BBS - currently needs work)

my list is short (only computers that were bought brand new and 'in their time'):

1) ZX Spectrum +3 128K
2) Amiga 500
Better sorry than worry.
