After using emulators for a while, I found my real A1200 (as a classic gaming machine) slow, annoying and clunky.

..then I guess you're not coding on the Amiga?  I've been writing a couple of intros in E-UAE lately where the raster timing turned out to be completely wrong on a real Amiga.  I thought I spent about 70% CPU time, did in fact use about 120%.  In E-UAE everything ran smoothly, but on the Amiga it was lagging like crazy.

This is one of the reasons I'm currently building an A600 from eBay parts.

No coding, just classic games.

@acherion:

There ain't nothing like the real-deal! The feel and clack of the keyboard, the knocking of DF0, the filtered 4 channel audio output, the humming of the 20 year old 1084 monitor, etc :-)  You might even get the smell of the original equipment, ahhhh :-D

But seriously, if you're handy with a soldering iron, you're a man who uses his hands, hahahaha, ok I'm not insinuating anything, so anyways, you'll probably enjoy it if you have it infront of you, as opposed to virtually...

Either way, good luck, have fun and this time STAY! ;-)
