What's on your Amiga 'To do' list?

[Andeda]

I have everything i need, now i can just sit back and enjoy myself  :-D

[Crom00]

Went through a phase of purging in 2001-2005.
Sold. CD32, FMV, A4000d, Micronic tower, Escom Tower, A1200 Amiga tech, tons of spare parts. Scan doublers, 2X Flyer setups with all the fixins. Cables... obscure cables Octopus cable anyone? Opalvisions (i had 3) XSpecs 3d, etc.

Now I'm refurbishing the perfect little A1200 with all the ameneites modern day chump change can get you. CF cards, PCMCIA to CF card adapters, and UAE.

It's ironic but installing UAEX on Xbox and UAE on PC got me started again becuase I was able to examine some of the games in modern day context. They hold up pretty well.

I want to make my A1200 black and have the keyboard painted. Got a $10 spare Amiga Tech A1200 case to paint up.

Have a Minimig too as at one point I was chatting with a factory in china to make about 100 pieces for Amiga.org. but Acube came along...

Just can't justify the time right now to tinker. I play old games now and then.

[Lonewolf10]

Hmmm, loads. Here are the items I can remember:

1) Buy Microsoft and force them to make Amigas ;-)

2) Take my A600's apart and try to diagnose the faults.

3) Code up some software to work with Dymo Thermal Labelwrite printers (actually intended to do in 2006, but haven't had the time...)

4) Finish compiling an AMOS list of extension commands.

5) Finish compiling a list of all AMOS-made games and software.

6) Finish Another World game.

7) Collect as many (classic) Amiga demo's as possible, especially ones made by Kefrens and Spaceballs  :crazy:

Thanks guys. I thoroughly enjoyed reading about what you are up to :-)

My own 'To do' list is very long and ever growing. But some of the things at the top of my list are:-

1. Get OS4 Classic installed onto a reliable Ultra Wide SCSI drive.

2. Fit and try out the Toccatta sound card which I bought from Kin-Hell.

3. Fit and try out the Picasso IV.

4. Have a go at getting a BIG hard drive set up using OS3.9.

5. Do a major sort through and tidy up of my stuff and check all my Amigas are working perfectly.

Finish some of my games projects...

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what is still on your list of things to get or do with your Amiga(s)?
:-)

 Nothing much really... At least not Hardware-wise.
I'm about to back-up some of my HD partitions, burn some DVDs, install or update some Aminet (mostly) software.
Things like that.. :-)

[Sig999]

Make the 2000 a little more robust - and maybe even work on it's looks a little. Of course it all comes down to having the money and the right deal at the same time... and the time to finish stuff.

For the 2000:

New motherboard - the one that came with it I was able to hack up to ECS and change roms - but its seen better days.

Fix the floppy drive - old one was busted, this one reads and writes fine, but doesn't seem to want to BOOT off a floppy... find out whats up with that.

Mouse adapter...keyboard adapter.

Network card would be nice.

Flicker Fixer... try and get away from the 1084 before it fails...

I'll undecided about the 4000 route - I have a dedicated machine running x amiga that does all those bells and whistles rather nicely - maybe money that would go there would be better spent on a SAM and OS4... see what the next generation systems are like...

Software...

Finish writing my crappy shoot em up in asm...
Get a c compiler running and make a sprite/map editor for the above.
Finish catching up reading the RKM's I bought last year...

Write a couple of utilities for the emulation box in both the linux side and the uae side.

[mr_a500]

Things to do:

A500:
Take final "impossible" screenshot (need digital camera):
"A500 emulating Windows and Mac... at the same time!"
Get SDHC to IDE adapter - use 4Gb SDHC instead of harddrive or CF
Test FAT filesystem to use SDHC->USB adapter ->various computers with USB
Get Viper 530 with 128Mb RAM (520 can then go in A1000)
Connect C64 drive and attempt to write disk images for C64
Get 1020 5¼" drive and attempt to write disk images for Kaypro

A1000:
Use Viper 520 & 40Gb harddrive from A500 (or maybe SDHC)
Find some way to get 2Mb chip (is it possible on A1000?)
Act smug about browsing the internet with a 1985 Amiga 8-)

A3000:
Test SGI filesystem to access Indy drive from Amiga (& fix password)
Get accelerator with 128Mb, Deneb, USB network, video card
Network with my NeXTstation, SGI Indy, Mac OSX, BeOS

A4000:
Get accelerator with 128Mb
Maybe get another SDHC to IDE adapter (currently using CF)

Other:
Get A1200 with accelerator, wireless ethernet

Out of interest why the big thing with SD?

1. It's way cheaper than CF (here in Canada anyway)

2. It's super small - easier to make externally accessable. (it also looks like old 3½" disk and even has write protect tab)

3. It usually comes with a USB adapter. If I keep one in FAT format and have FAT filesystem on Amiga, I can plug it in Amiga, copy stuff, then plug it in any computer with USB - without needing USB on Amiga.

OK,
Hi I'm new to amiga.org. just 1 small question, how can I get my A500 on the net via broadband? I have an A500 os 2.1 a grand slam with a scsi tower. I also have a few windows servers and 1 running linux server 6. and a couple of machines running windows XP Pro. Any Ideas?
Thanks
Calde

Hi Calde and welcome to A.Org :pint:

So you wanted to start off with an easy question then mate? :lol:

I've no idea myself, but luckily for you THE mr_a500 has just returned  :-)

I'm not mr_a500... I'm just his stunt double. ;-)

Hi there. :-) It's good to see somebody else insane enough to get an A500 on the internet.

I'm still only using dialup on my A500, but I have heard of others using Windows as internet server for Amiga 500s. Check out this thread.

I was going to get a clockport adapter for my A500, USB and USB network and try to go broadband that way, but then I started to question my sanity...
