I use:

A1200 in EZ-Z4 Tower, Bliz1230MkIV + SCSI/128MB + Mediator + Voodoo 5500 + SB128

A4000 + Apollo 4040 + 128mb/16mb (Waiting for my PicassoIV to be delivered)

A600 + Apollo 630 + 32mb

I have another A1200D + a spare A600

I'm waiting for an A608 for my spare A600 and it has a HxC Floppy Emulator instead of a FDD.

Once I get a Bliz 1260 for my Tower (or fix/upgrade my broken Apollo 1240) then the Bliz 1230 will go in my spare A1200D.

:hat:

I didn't forget any "options" your options 4 to 8 can quite simply fall under options 2 or 3.
How can I include 1 more possibility (9) of something that may appear in the future, ( I may be a bit Psycho, but Im not a Psychic !!!) :crazy:
The poll asks Which Amiga You Use not which Amiga You Hope To Use :rolleyes:


You lumped quite a few groups into one, I think that is what some people are compaining about. Some of us are kinda touchy on the subject. Personally I use Winuae the most but I want to use AROS more.

I don't want to be lumped into AmigaOne (meh) or SAM (very expensive meh)
Oh yeah?!?
Well your stupid bit is set,
and its read only!
(my best geek putdown)

From some of the response's I've had from your side of the pond in my posts, I'd have to say touchy would better being replaced by touched... :biglaugh:

It's always nice being putdown by a geek, cheers mate... :roflmao:

Cyberstormed A4000 with a Mediator and the usual assortment of PCI cards, but I'm thinking of switching to a more basic A1200 setup.


You'll miss the graphics card for Workbench.

I have a beefed up A1200 setup (Flyer gold IDE, SDFF, PCMCIA network card) as well has my Mediator A4000 tower I can't remember when I last turned it on.

My "basic" Amiga is my Minimig.
A2000, A3000, 2 x A1200T, A1200, A4000Tower & Mediator, CD32, VIC-20, C64, C128, C128D, PET 8032, Minimig & ARM, C-One, FPGA Arcade... and AmigaOne X1000.

As others were, I was kind of torn about how to answer this poll. I chose the emulation option, but I use my real Amigas as often as WinUAE.

Are we so different? Are we any more opinionated or biased? Only Amiga users make it possible ;).

Quote from: Franko;573098

I guess that they have all been brainwashed and conned into buying PeeCees (puke) and Crapple Macs (boak) and seem to be sadly under the delusion that running an Amiga emulator makes them a true part of the Amiga community. :lol:


Just for your information, some of us "over here" stand up and fight for what we believe in and love. I voted for classic as that's all I use. 3000T with CSMK3 68060@75MHz with Mediator+Voodoo4+FastEthernet. Waiting for and programming for, (in the purest way possible, 68k assembler) the return of the beautiful 68k through fpga. May the Natami and MiniMig+ bring in a new era of Amiga computing :).

Hi matthey... we meet again... :)

Believe it or not mate, I agree with almost everything you say, your a man after my own heart ie: Amiga, 68k and strong opinoins. :)

Just make sure you keep me on my toe's, as I enjoy our little exchanges. ;)

Cheers :drink:

Yep, its still going strong and a corner stone of my collection. I have this one and another A1200 that I use quite often. I still have my original A1000 and a second one as a backup, an A600, CDTV and an A500. One of these days I would like to add an CD32, A3000 and A4000 to the collection.

I never thought back in 1985 that I'd still be plunking away on these old Heros!

What are you using these days?

I still use an old A1000 with 1.3OS, and an A2000 with 3.5OS.
I still use ImageFX (depend on it actually) so I will use some version of a classic Amiga for ever...
A2000 GVP 40MHz \'030, 21Mb RAM SD/FF, 2 floppies, internal CD-ROM drive, micromys v3 w/laser mouse
A1000 Microbotics Starboard II w/2Mb 1080, & external floppy (AIRdrive)
C-128 w/1571, 1750, & Final Cartridge III+

Yes, including the FPGAArcade board was not too smart of me, but I was too lazy to go back and take it out after I re-read the poll's purpose.  As for the others fitting in your 3 choices, I would have to disagree.  For one example, MorphOS2.x is NOT an emulator, but it does provide some JIT emulation as part of the rest of it's unique OS.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)

A500 with Derringer 030/50, internal FF/SD, GVP A500+ (soon to be AdIDE once I have time to complete that project.)
A2000 with Blizzard 2060, Ariadne II, Spectrum 28/24
A1200 with Blizzard 1260, PCMCIA network, external SD/FF, 4GB CF
A3000, still pretty much unexpanded, but a somewhat more active project

and my daily pride-and-joy,
A4000 with CyberStorm MKIII, PIV, 18GB SCSI

I have two dead CyberStorm PPC cards that are on the top of my list of things to get done.  After that will come the Deneb(s).

Recently I obtained a MacMini to run MorphOS and I fear it may usurp the position of my 4000D, but that remains to be seen as I have yet to scrounge up the registration cost.

Hmmm playing non CD32 games is via WinUAE (convenience mainly) but actually doing something else like making music or drawing pix etc is on either my A1200 or A1000 rigs.
