What was your amiga like in 1994 ?

[Buzzfuzz]

Two Amiga 500's with Action Replay, drives, 2 1084 monitors, joysticks and loads of disks.
No money for anything else, was a broke student in that time
 
And these days I just about own every model there is, even the most wanted A4000 which in that time still cost a fortune.

[Kronos]

Had the A1200 with 60MB HD purchased in late 92, but that was soon replaced by an A2000/A2630/Evolution-SCSI (+ 80MB). Both running on the trusty old 2024 monitor.

Make quite some money on the A1200 as noone had new units in stock at that time....

[arttu80]

If I remember correctly it was A2000 swapped with rev.6 mobo. 1Mb Chip and not sure was it 94 or 95 when put Apollo 030 / 50Mhz card in it. But always envied my buddys A1200! Now I have that too! Damn, tough times in 1994 'cause Commodore AND Nirvana took a dive (not referring to their song Dive anyhow)... One is dead for sure.

[Ilwrath]

A1200, GVP 68030/68882 40mhz (JAWS 1), 120mb internal HD, external 2nd floppy drive, and, back then, still suffering with a 1084S monitor.  (Flicker, flicker! -- Don't think I got my used C= 1950 until early 1995, or so).

[Plaz]

Which one?

Toaster 2000, A3000/040/128mb/800mbHD/2*AD516Audio, A4000/060/PicassoIV/ on and on... and that just getting started. 93-94 was a good year, right up till C= bought it.

My Amiga in 1994 was like 386DX 33 MHz with 4MB of memory, a 130 MB HDD, Tseng ET3000 graphics card, Sound Blaster, 1.44 MB floppy and a VGA monitor.

It was 11 years later, when I got my first Amiga.

[AccyD]

Was I the only person to have a vanilla A600 in 1994? Blimey, I realised they weren't popular, but really...........were they THAT unpopular??

[Ral-Clan]

It was an Amiga 500 upgraded to Kickstart 2.04 and ECS.  1084S monitor and external 1011 floppy disk drive.  I had the 512K trapdoor expansion so had 1MB RAM total.  I also had just purchased a used sidecar 100MB SCSI hard drive (I think it was a Trumpcard drive).  I also had a SupraModem 2400.

I remember that I used Jr-Comm (a terminal program) to log into the University's mainframe VAX computer and read the Usenet messages in the days just before Commodore was about to go bankrupt.  There were all sorts of dreadful rumours flying there about the impending bankruptcy....was Commodore going to live or die?  As the days passed we all watched nervously as the news leaked that Commodore really did go bankrupt.  It was a suspensful and sad week, watching that happen.

A500 rev 6 modified for 1MB chip (needed PAL switching for all teh gamez), SupraRAM 500RX/2MB, and a 1084s

[ddniUK]

BPPC in 1994??? I would be very surprised if that were true!!!

IIRC they launched in 1997ish

[Speelgoedmannetje]

I used my dad's 386, until he decided to upgrade to a 486 and donated me an old monochrome 286. Soon after he upgraded to a pentium I got his 486 (wich was also about around 1994/1995).
My cousins had an Amiga, and the first thing that I noticed was the outstanding sound from Xenon 2 and Lotus 2 (or 3). So I bought of my savings a sound blaster clone for my 486, for a whopping 200 guilders ($100, approximately) only to notice it wasn't supported by Xenon 2 and the sound of Lotus was much less impressive. Wolfenstein, Doom, Dune 2 and Day of the Tentacle were very cool however.

[nadoom]

I had an Amiga 500+ with 2MB chip  and an A570.

[Bezzen]

I had an Amiga 1200 with 80 Mb hard drive back then. I don't know if it was plain vanilla in 1994 or if I had bought a Power Computing CD-ROM and a Blizzard 1230 (the Blizzard might have been in -95).

It was good times!

[guest7146]

I was still a kid in '94 so I wasn't in a position to be buying fancy hardware, and my parents weren't really interested in computers.  But I was lucky enough to be granted my wish for an Amiga one Christmas, and as such I was gifted an Amiga 500+ in the very early 90's.  By '94 I'd expanded it with an extra 1MB of RAM.


AH.

It was like... back in the box!  I had given up on Amiga and was using various PCs in college.  But I really felt bad about the fall of the Amiga.  I remember telling friends how great it was.  I'm so happy it's still alive and happy about this online community.
