@KatManDEW,

2 meg is all can get or will need, the extra fast will get your DMA rocking and that is where the real horsepower is.

Have fun is the main thing. I hope you still have a good stash of software.

@KatManDEW,

OS3.9 is nicer and you can still find it.

No, I don't. Is there anywhere to get some decent software for it, other than Aminet?

[QuikSanz]

@KatManDEW,

There are some download site out there. The best other place is in the forums here and AmigaWorld or of course E-Bay.

Found someo neat looking software here;
http://www.amiga-arena.de/

Had to run the site through the Google translator, but it worked well. Some of it is AGA stuff, but I tried one of the other ones and it worked on my A2000.

One of my old PC's was an all SCSI system, and it has a Plextor CD burner in it, so I moght be able to use it in my A2000.

@KatManDEW,

Here is something from another thread somewhere.

" http://netzreport.googlepages.com/downloading_amiga_games_legally.html#official "

Some good stuff in there.

Whoo Hoo! I got the CD burner working, and I can read CD's on my Amiga!

What CD burner software can I use on the Amiga? I have a Plextor 8/2/20 burner.

Wow! Lots of great stuff there! And now that I can read CD's on my Amiga it will be lots easier to get it over to my Amiga.

Thanks

Sounds good.

So far, you have a choice of using a null modem cable + Amiga Explorer (part of the Amiga Forever software from Cloantro), buying a Deneb card so that you have USB capabilities, your CD drive, and the old floppy disks.

I've found that Amiga Explorer works very nicely.

@KatManDEW,

For some reason I had better luck with "Make CD" Than I did with "Burn It". "Frying Pan" May be the least expensive.

@stefcep2,

Nice for the new guys. I paid for my copy too many moons ago. That's Cool, It Works Great!

I've tried several different null modem cables and can't get Amiga Explorter to work. It runs on the Amiga end, but it always fails to open on the PC side. I ordered a couple new null modem cables the day before yesterday.

What's the best photo/image editor for the Amiga? Can I convert PC images to use on my Workbench screen?

Is DOpus 5.xx still available?

I received a registration key for MUI, named MUI.KEY, but I don't know what to do with it?

Would a Highway USB Controller with Norway Ethernet for Highway USB be OK instead of an X-Surf?

If you were going had an A200, and you wanted to get another Amiga, would you get a A1200, or a A3000, or a A4000, or an ACube? Something with a tower case?

Have you ever heard of using a memory card as a hard disk? I saw something about someone using on on a website...

How can I repay all of you for all the help?

[Amiduffer]

I can only vouch for ImageFX, since its the only one I use.

Nova Design

Copies of Art Department Pro often show up. I used to use it in the past, and results were OK.

a copy here

Photogenics

Idruna website

If I had the space, I would get an A1200.

They're called CF to IDE adaptors. It'll let you use Compact Flash cards in place of a harddrive IF you use IDE.

A late welcome, but welcome to the group.
