Hi there!
I'm new to the board, been looking at it for some time now cause I've been bit by the Mig bug again. I've been using amigas since 1989 or something close to that. My first miggy was an A1000 expanded to 1mb with served me very well until it got sold to my cousin. I used the money to get me an A500 and mod it for PAL and 1mb CHIP. I eventually got into girls and partying so the miggy was sold to a friend of mine. When techno became popular 2-3 years later, I went "pff.. I was doing this on the amiga a few years ago with noisetracker". So I went to my friend's place and made music on the miggy again. Found a friend of a friend of a friend who still had a 500 somewhere and got it for 100$. It had the screen, a 100mb HD, the modded agnus for pal and 1mb chipram, second drive, mouse, perfect sound 3 digitizer, midi interface and around 8mb of fastram. I stayed on that machine until 1997 where I switched off to a 233mmx which was all the rage back then.
Still... I missed the amiga and when emulation became good enough so I could play a couple of old games, I knew I had to get an amiga again. I found good deals on a near mint 1200HD/40 and an 'ok' 1000 at 512kb in the last three years. And just today I echanged the 1000 (cpu, key, mouse, 2nd flop) for a near mint A600HD/40 with PSU and mouse. The guy threw in a couple of very nice extras too: cd rom, an extra 750mb 2.5" HD, Elbox 4xIDe buffered interface in unopened package, pcmcia ethernet card with two couplers and a C= rgb-2-vga adapter. Right now I got my 1200 hooked to my PC with a null modem and I transfer files this way.
And so here I am and all my current setup and stockpile of miggy stuff looks like that:
A1200HD/40:
-DKB Cobra 68030 (almost 50mhz in sysinfo)
-2mb Chip
-32mb Fast
-80mb HD
-Kick 3.0
-WB 3.0
-True Mouse
-C= 1084S
A600HD/40:
-1mb Chip
-40mb HD
-Kick 2.05
-WB 2.0
-Small C= mouse
Various Pieces:
-Elbox 4xIDE Bufferend Interface (with driver disk, and allegroCDFS included)
-2 x 64mb RAM 72pins (fits on the DKB, but it has only 1 slot)
-750mb Apple/IBM 2.5" hd
-2x PCMCIA Ethernet cards with couplers
-2x C= RGB-2-VGA adapters
-Many CD/DVD drives and 3.5" HDs of varying sizes.
So that's it!
All in all I'd say I paid around 200$ CDN for all of this, which I think is a pretty fair deal. Now I've gotta go post in the hardware section cause as you can imagine, there'll be a lot of modding goin' on in here soon
