Any classic amiga models you've never used?
« on: January 30, 2011, 11:24:21 PM »
What classic ( 68K ) amiga systems have you never had a chance to use ?
 
For me:
1000, 3000, 4000, CDTV, CD32. (as well as the 1500 and 2500, if you cound those as separate from the 2000)

For me it would be the ones that aren't the A1000, A500, A1200, A2000.  ;-)
I don't think I've ever even seen the consoles (CD32/CDTV) other than pix.
Not sure about the A3K or A4K..  I don't think I have..
Not the A600 or A500+.
Possible a 2500, but I'm not sure...
Any model not listed, less likely.. ;-)

The only place I've ever even seen a CDTV was an advertisement in a danish computer magazine when I was a wee lad.

Interesting thread :)

I have experience with everything except the A1000 and the CDTV.

Anything AGA. I don't have anything against it but I've never really been that interested by it, and they're more expensive than the OCS machines. Never used a 3000, either.

I've led a rather sheltered Amiga life - only A500s, 600s and 1200s here! Never used a big-box Amiga or a CD32 or CDTV for more than a few mins at an Amiga gathering...

For me:
1000, 600 and CDTV
I saw a CDTV in a store in Redmond Wash. when I was training at Nintendo, but I've only seen pictures of the others.

I've never seen a CDTV, a CD32 or a 600. Working in a store, I got to play with, demo, use, or fix most of the other ones. ;-)

Like the other Canadian from Ontario above (Shaf), I too have never used an A1200 or A600.  While the Amiga  500/1000/2000 & 3000 were pretty popular here, by the time the A1200 was released Macs and PCs were overtaking the Amiga here in Canada.  I never saw A1200s in stores.  I'm sure they were available in Canada, but I think you really had to go looking for them (i.e. K-Mart Canada and other mainstream stores had dropped the Amiga by that time).

I've seen a couple of A4000s in Canada, but the A1200s seem to be relatively rare (whereas A500's seemed to be everywhere).

In fact, the few A1200s I've ever actually seen in person here in Canada were at the Amiga Inc. booth in the late 1990s World of Amiga show in Toronto (the one the Peter Tsychenko [sp.] was at when he was running things) and at another small Amiga meetup that used to be held annually in Ottawa.

Skipped the A1000 and bought an A2000 when I started work.  Always wanted a CDTV, but never got around to it.  Never owned an A600 or ever wanted too (no keypad!).
