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.

Hmm on the Amiga side I mainly use my A1200+indivision+060+WB3.5 but this will soon give way to a A4000 I'm building up.  Quite regularly boot up Amikit on my main pc also.  Would love to buy a Sam but just cant justify it at the moment.

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?

AmigaEd



 I mostly use winuae and aros, but I have had at least one amiga since the early to mid 90's. I went from two a1000's to that 1200 to a 3000 and now I am thinking of getting a 600 or 1200 motherboard and building an amiga laptop. I was thinking of using a minimig board but I'm not sure if I'd have the time or money to build one with college starting back up in less than a month.

Nice, those are some pretty optimistic descriptions of all three catagories. Usually there is too much slinging to put the positives forward. My miggy runs pretty smoothly on a 64bit cpu, though I'd like to get an '030 again :)

Hi golem... :)

It's quite simple just subscribe to AMIGA.org for only £12.95 (a bargain if you ask me) and you can title yourself whatever you want, plus lots of other benefits too.  :)

(if the forum admins are viewing, do i get a cut !!!) :biglaugh:

The hard bit, earning a medal beside your name... You have to be an insomniac like myself (and Mad As A Hatter) and type away as many posts as you can, until the green bar reaches 100%. Then they give you a medal in the faint hope that you'll go away and stop bugging everyone. :roflmao:

I'm still using real Amiga's, an a1000, a2000 and a1200 (I had all Amiga models but sold most of them the last couple of years).

I've also used MorphOS (IMHO the best NG Amiga OS) for over 7 years on two Pegasos II boards (started with a Pegasos I in 2003) but no more. Nowadays I'm only interested in real Amiga's simply because I don't care about the Amiga OS clones (MorphOS, AROS and OS4) anymore. Sadly most software for these systems are Linux ports, no problem with that but simply put; I can run them better and faster on my main system (a 7 year old ASUS A7N8X AMD 2500+) running Debian SID.

I expected UAE to be used the most?

Anyway, I use my A500 the most, and recently also my A1200.

/me is mostly using MorphOS 2.x on a Mac mini these days... With occasional excursions to E-UAE on MorphOS or WinUAE on Windows 7. So I've voted for "etc."

I use WinUAE on my MAME cabinet and use WinUAELoader and the Maximus Arcade frontend to launch games. Amiga games+real arcade controls=loads of fun.

The setup I use is:

A1200 with Blizzard 1230 IV, no FPU, 16 MB ram (not enough), 40 GB hard disk, 52/32/52 speed CD Rewriter and a PCMCIA network adapter.

The A1200 I bought secondhand 15 years ago, died at the beginning of this year. Bought a secondhand motherboard after being broke for five months. I'll keep replacing the motherboard until none can bought anymore (that will be a sad day), at which point it's probably over for me, Amiga wise, unless there are some good alternatives (no emulation, thank you).
