Thanks for the posts. Its much appreciated - and may I also say the two sites that were linked are also of excellent value - nice pictures and specs. Thanks again. I'm still interested to hear of others, and amiga clones are perfectly exceptable.

I use my Pegasos for almost everything, and used my PPC Amiga before that. The only time I bother booting my PC is to do work on Office or play Alpha Centauri. Or to remind myself what a slow system was like. ;-)

A bit late but here goes:

My main Amiga is a 4000D '040 @ 40 MHz (Warp Engine), with an Adriande II (I hope I spelt that right) ethernet, and about 128 Megabytes of RAM, and a 4 gigabyte Harddrive, 4x CD-ROM.  I use it for Wordworth, Photogenics, MindGuard :) and some other stuff I can't remember right now.  Poor things been run through the mill a bit, and has some trouble booting at odd times now, but overall runs quite well.  Standard AGA graphics aren't the best but I can live with it.

I also have a bog standard 2000 that I've for years.  Used to use it for games, and a bit of programming.  My Dad bought it, originally, but he doesn't give a damn about computers, so he hardly ever used it.  Kickstart 1.3.  Still runs great, except for the floppy drive.

Then the last two are a pair of 500s, rev 6 and 5.  One still works and the other has RAM problems (if I read the colour errors right).  Both have a full megabyte via clone expansions.  I need to work on the RAM cards tho', as they both had leaking batteries, that I removed, but didn't nutralize.  Traces are probibly all burnt up now. Pity.  Play lots of old games on'em, especially Lemmings.

If I need to do any surfing or the like, I've an SUN Ultra 1, as I can't stand Intel's hardware, and I'm too poor to afford either a Aone or Pegasos.

@Clark

$299 is too much for a Pegasos motherboard?

I have the A3000T and use it all the time, I have a CAM that I use at work to record problems during the day, PLUMBING and dump it to the PAR via TBC4, then I grab what I need and EMail to customers with cost of repairs, use Scala for intro and have a give verbal information via Delfina PLUS, I believe doing more with less.  What makes this so great is I have the computer I always wanted.  If anyone out there has spare parts like CIA's or motherboards, disk drives I'm always looking I need to have spares for break downs, and I'm no longer afraid to take it apart, I think my warranty is up?

I have one of pretty much every Amiga model, except the CD32, CDTV and A600.

My workhorse machine is an A2000 w/Blizzard 2060. It runs a BBS and is my home LAN gateway machine.

My favourite machine is the A3000D which now sports a CV64/3D and 040 processor.

I also have Amithlon running on a Pentium 3 @ 600Mhz. Used to run it on my Athlon 2000, but since I put the GForce 4 card into the big box, Amithlon fails to show a screen. It was easier to just move it's HDD over to the P3.

I've got an A500 and A3000 that are pretty much stock and haven't been used in a long, long time, and I'm putting together a Pegasos in an aluminum space frame kinda thing.  So far I'm using the Peg to help my kids learn what goes into a computer; when everything's wired up, we'll see what it can do. I'm expecting good things.  :-)

I have A4000/060 in Mirage 4000 Pro with Voodoo5, SB4.1 and 10/100 NIC. I use it as my main computer to do everything I need, except for banking because I can't log in with IBrowse.
Before you judge me take a look at you....

I use an A2000 with Blizzard2060, 2Mb Chip, 64Mb Fast, PicassoII connected to a SCSI Tower containing four HDDs. A HP 4c flatbed and a dead Zip drive are also in the chain. A switchbox connects a Citizen GSX240 dot matrix and a HP840c DeskJet for printing. An external 1760k DD handles the floppies.

I web-browse, email, and manage my site on 56k.

Use TVPaint, ImageFX, PPaint for graphics processing. Run mostly OS3.5, but ocassionally drop back to OS3.1

Am presently awaiting delivery of an AmigaOneXE:

Your'll have to put your scsi rack under the desk so your A1 can sit in its place !!

A1200 with Blizzard 1240 /40mhz , Blizzard Scsi kit (Scsi2) .
Use it to burn some CDs, try some share/freeware off of aminet, learn programming (hoppy), play mp3s, do some gfx work. Ah and play some games, but that's rare.

Thinking about following the official path and buy  an AmigaOne in the fufure with  AmigaOS4 for the same use.

I have an a1200t, with a blizzard 030/50 overclocked to 60Mhz, 32mb ram, an old 1.4 gig Quantum bigfoot hard disk, CDROM, PCMCIA ethernet, os3.9.

I have a PIcassoII and a micronic busboard waiting to go in (a1200 is miles away from me atm).  I never really use this machine now, it's just for geekiness.  I'm thinking about getting an 060 card and/or a soundcard later on.
Restraining orders are just another way of saying I love you!
