What are type of amiga do u have, and what do u use it for?

[Warface]

I have a A1200 with a DCE 060 BVisionPPC, which I borrowed to a friend whose A4000 died some time ago.

I also have a Pegasos which is the only computer in the house: so I use it for practically everything you can imagine :-)

[Brian]

A1200/Blizzard1260/ScanDoubler/Melody1200Pro - My hobby machine at home

A1200/BlizzardPPC/BlizzVision/Keyboard addapter/External IDE connector/Monostereo switch and extra phono connectors/Mouce-Joy swich/PCMCIA NIC - All in original A1200 desctop case, my little hardhack machine at the clubhouse

A4000T/040/PrometeusPCI/Piccolo/Video Red. Card/Vlab Digitizer/TrumpCard SCSI/IOExtender - My tower project at the clubhouse

A3000/IOBlix with Ethernet module/ExtraMem - Used for nothing much... but it's pritty where it also stand in the clubhouse

A2000/2090a/AGA2000/ExtraMem - Demomachine in the clubhouse

A1200/ExtraMem - A machine I resently bought just so that I can give it away to try make an Amigan out of my GF's lil'brother. :-)

A1200/A1200/A2000/A4000/Misc spex - "Left overs" that I'm trying/in process to selling. ;-)

A500/A1200/A3000/Misc spex - Dead or dying machines that I'm saving for spares or to when I get around to fix them so they can be sold. :-o


Amigas is my pachion and are used mostly for hardware projects and games but the primarily reason I use the Amiga is due to all the friends in the comunity and the Amiga club here where I live (where I'm on the board).

[Im>bE]

I have one a1200 with a 4meg expansion card
that is connected to a big tv
where I and others play cool games from time to time.

I use another 1200T with a 060/50 for;
surfing, emailing, gaming, ircing, drawing,
playing all kinds of formates of music,
programming in amiblitz2 with a mission
to make games with playability
and also to make artificial intelligence
that learns, in wich I have progressed well.

If you are making a game with excellent/good playability,
but you need gfx, then contact me,
and I'll make gfx for free!!

Because games with playability and originality
are rare these days...

[Ryu]

well I have an A1200, you can see the specs here I also have a P120 PC, so my amiga gets used for everything except the very occasional website and a bit of kazaa. Its used for CD burning, graphic design, word processing, mp3 playback, a bit of demo watching, mpeg viewing, lots of IRC'ing, odd bit of game playing, just the typical computer usage really :-)

[PMC]

I've two stock A500's (wb 1.2 & 1.3) plus an A1200 HDD.

My main system is my A1200 with 40Mhz '040, OS3.9, Mediator etc...... which is now ripe for replacement!

I'm waiting for OS4 to appear before I make up my mind, but all the usual solutions are being carefully considered and the advantages/disadvantages are weighed up.

Oh, and for gaming I've got a PS2 :-D

[Xand]

Besides the one in my signature I have:

A3000D - A3640 (the 040 has been replaced with a QuadDoubler), FastlaneZ3 w/64mb ram, PicassoIV, Concierto, PabloIV, PalomaIV, A2232, Emplant Deluxe w/e586 module, 2x HD floppies, 850mb SCSI HD, OS3.5    80mb fast ram, 2mb chip

A1000 stock

I do my web surfing, email, and site updating from my 1200 power tower when I'm home.
I've used my machines to emulate various lab instruments and PBXs for work. I've also used the higher end ones to process VERY large mail lists and merges.
Right now I'm just fiddling around with some ideas for some new business software.

[alx]

I've got an A1200 030/40 which I try to use for anything that doesn't need the horsepower or internet connection of the PC - wordprocessing, "classic" games and simple games, some BASIC programming etc...

[The_Editor]

I use my A1200 For image processing.

Admittedly not very often these days,  but when I do use it ... It gets me out of the sh1t.

For example .... I video weddings ... I am given a lot of stills of the couple growing up....  Some of these are inevitably "Portait mode"...

 ie: turn the camera sideways....  Well thats ok for a still ...bloody disasterous for tv !!

So now alter the aspect but "retain" the aspect ... if you get what I mean.

Dead easy on an Amiga .. A HELL of a lot of fart arsing around in photoshop.

YES ..Photoshop will do a better job if you spent a sh1t load of time getting it right .... Bollox to that..

Just do it !!

Amiga just Does it!![/b].

I also morph some of those images on my Amiga to get them to "grow up" in front of your eyes ... Finally turning into a still of them from my vid cam in which they "come alive".

All good fun.

The 3 (Read: 11)  Amigas

My Amigas

1. A1200T w/ Blizz060/SCSI, XSurf, PicassoII, DelfinaLite. 4.7Gb hard drive, HD floppy, CDRW/DVD drives. ZIP250 and Syquest135 on the SCSI chain. This is my primary machine. I get email, surf the web, host my website, word process, play games, process images, and encode my CD collection to mp2. It's also the dock for my digital camera and will be accompanying me to college in a few months (along with an awful PC laptop for dire compatibility emergencies).

2. CD32. Used for, amazingly enough, CD32 stuff. Expanded with SX-1 and FMV card. This is my other games machine. CD32 software is great because it never suffers from compatibility problems like the old disk-based stuff. Reassigning NonVolatile to the harddrive removes the classic save game troubles.

3. A1200D. This one's a fixer-upper. It needs ROMs, disk drives, keyboard... er... Everything, come to think of it. Just a motherboard in a case at the moment. This will be a luggable machine eventually.

4. A1XE-G4. It "runs" Linux, but is essentially offline until OS4 is released.

Other Amigas in my house

5. A4000D. PPC/060, PicassoIV, DelfinaPlus, IOExtender. Me dad's machine. Not seeing much use until OS4 is released.

6. A3000D. Offline, new components need to be installed. Used in mixing studio.

7. A500. Trapdoor RAM has died, along with clock. Also part of the mixing studio.

8. A2000. Basement storage.

9. CD32. Another one. Not hooked up. Also has an SX-1.

10. A1XE-G4. Another. Unlike me, my dad can actually use Linux, so this is his primary machine.

11. A600. It's small. It's not here yet.

[Staticman]

I love these sort of threads :-)

AmigaOne G3SE with 512Mb registered DIMM added, running at an adequate 600 MHz. Once OS4 comes this computer will be all I need for practically anything.. but for now I just play with Linux on it every now and again. have a tinker with the hardware.

Amiga 1200 with 170Mb hard drive installed with OS 3.1 hooked up to a trusty old 1084S monitor. use for old games and a few old apps i like to play with

Amiga 500 with 1Mb. In the loft but whenever I use it (hardly ever anymore) its for games which wont run on the 1200.

I would like more Amigas though!

Hi!

I've an A1200 self-towerized, with:
- Blizzard 060/50MHz, 16MB FastRam
- 4.3GB IBM HD
- AmigaOS 3.5 =)
- DIY MIDI Interface
- Fast Serial Interface (Silver Surfer, on clock interface)
- Power Flyer MKII (ULTRA-ATA 66 Interface for A1200)
- Serial Mouse Adapter (Punchinello MKII) with his mice.. =)
- A2000 original Keyboard
- VGA adapter with Olivetti 15'' Flat CRT Monitor
- 32x CD-ROM
- ...

I use my Amy 4 MIDI composing with the wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, and so wonderful B&P Pro and my GeneralMusic S3 Workstation, YAMAHA QY70, YAMAHA MD4s, SoundTracks TOPAZ 12-4 mixer, etc.. =)

I also have an A2000, a C64 but I don't use these machines...
Various peeceeessss, 386, 486.....

And an Athlon900 w Wonzozz2k, i use it 4 audio composing, php/mysql dev, ecc ecc ecc...


I'm waiting OS4.........and a decent audio/midi sw (B&P PPC and ProStationAudio are my choices...)


So...sorry 4 my long post and 4 my bad english..
keep on the good work!

=)

I have 2 A1200Ds;

My main machine;
Blizzard 060/64MHz with 32Mb, SCSI Kit with Iomega 2Gb Jaz connected for backup. HP Laserjet 2100 as printer and until recently had a Silversurfer attached for browsing the web. Now have decided that surfing is too frustrating with an Amiga and use my work laptop (IBM Thinkpad A31) for this.

Second machine;
Blizzard 1230/50MHz with 32Mb.

Both are OS3.9 and I use them mainly for MIDI sequencing with OctaMED SS on the 060 and either Bars & Pipes or Sequencer One on the other - synced together to give 32 MIDI channels.

[Siggy]

Through the 80s and 90s I had several Amigas (100,500, and 2000) which were for recreation only.

It wasn't feasable to bring them with me to the US. I currently keep an A2000 with video toaster and 2 TBC's. I use it only for live switching on dual camera shoots.  Pretty soon it will be replaced by GV switching board.

Siggy

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.
