He told me he was an active C= user and says he has a photo of himself using a C64 in the early 80's.    
I know, from Leo, that he also used Video Toaster Amigas. :)

I just recently ordered a KeyRah to use an old Amiga as a USB-keyboard for my SAM. With the Catweasle you can connect A2000/A3000/A4000 keyboards to regular PCs as well. So no need to wait. Get yours today ;-)


Already have two keyrahs, still want real new Amiga keyboards.

@BigBenTheAussie

Workbench 5/X

Ok, someone finally hit name I like. Just like that ...  "Workbench 5/X"

BTW, I was a big fan of the QNX option, so linux base doesn't phase me. Can it "feel" like Amiga.... surprise me.

As someone who's been using both AmigaOS and Linux since 1994 or thereabouts, I have zero trust in CUSA being capable to make Workbench 5/X whatever usable. At best it will be a semi broken skin to some existing DE. These people have shown over and over again that they're pretty clueless when it comes to software, how Linux works and how AmigaOS works.

i suspect the niche that this commodore usa enterprise could succesfully occupate and exploit would be updated case remakes design and fabrication. this is what we lack in this community and what none here can fund. the c64 draft looks cool, something like that for atx or whatever format boards for aos or aros be bearing a resemblance to the original design, the original keyboard format would be sure welcome and well bought. doing anything further software or system related is better left with professionals, and would most likely bring them no return. in the end who apart of the customer needs to decide what board and what software sticks inside such a case, e it os4 or windows/linux.

OK Jim, here's some tips:

If he offers you something to drink then don't touch it.
If he offers to make you CEO of sales in return for you investing your life savings then don't.
Whatever you do, don't fall asleep otherwise that gestating alien seed pod under your chair will take you over and you'll become "one of them"!

I had a pleasant evening with Barry Altman, Moochie, Dammy and CyberEye last night. When I get a chance this weekend, I'll type something up. I don't have any sort of inside scoop into provide, afaik all the the information is probably already out there in one form or another. Hopefully putting together a report will help put things in context for some. There will be a few pretty cool pictures.:hammer:
