That is pure crap. i like the a1200 a lot but the flagship and most expandable high end amiga is the 4000. Period.


Hi,

@magnetic,

Yes it is a high end Amiga with a high end price to expand it. Like when I bought my Blizzard PPC card for my Amiga's I checked the prices for an Amiga 4000 and found that $!999 for a cheap ppc was just out of my league, so I bought a PPC for my Amiga 1200. Seems like everything I price for the A4000 is at least $500 more.

Hi,

You should really slow down when eating your subway sandwichs, then you wouldn't choke so much and avoid coughing.

Personally if I wanted an expanded Amiga the model I would choose depends on whether I had a need for 24bit graphics, 16bit sound, VLAB Y/C or VLAB PAR, GVP Impact Vision 24 etc etc or not.

Also the keyboard on the 500 600 and 1200 is quite bad....probably worse than the cheapest PC keyboards I've ever used in my life.

And towering an 1200 is a headache too.

Yeah, nothing worse than a guy who acts like an expert and they dont know WTF they are talking about... i hate that especially for people looking for real answers..

Hi,

@magnetic,

Yeah, I know what you mean, I really hate people who act like experts and don't know WTF they are talking about especially when people are looking for real answers.

@Franko
Hey thanks for the help you have given me on several occasions, you saved me a lot of reading and looking for my old manuals on the Amiga. I really don't know anything about the Amiga since I have been with it since 2 weeks after the Amiga 1000 came out, but you know Franko, all of us old timers have been helping each other whenever we can. By the way that suggestion you sent me cleared up my new ide cdrom drive, it running like a champ, still looking at that info you sent me on OS4 for my A1200, it seems that when my install starts running the screen was going blank after about 15 minutes of installation, I believe my Power Supply is going bad, for now my Amiga 1200 is off until I get a new power supply set up. Have to go up in the Attic and see if I have any old AT supplies up there, and maybe while I am up there I will look for a digiview for digiman (no I haven't forgot just too much stuff going on, and I hate attics, it's spooky up there, and you never know about that darn madman "Franko" he hides everywhere).

Hi,

Don't know I towered mine, went pretty smooth, used old server case I had laying around, now I remember why I shut down that server, it had a weak power supply.

I have a lyra 2 keyboard adapter (AmigaKit) works great, and if I wanted I could use expensive PC keyboards on my Amiga. I especially like the one where you could program the keys and program the actual letters and stuff on them, that way you could program a key to have a lit up Amiga "A" key on the keyboard, saving my pennies know for one, they only cost $1500, is that expensive enough for you.

No need to worry what that low life loser Franko has to say. Never know what he says since I ignored him, but any advice anywhere else is already better than what he could ever give.

Off hand I don't have a clue as to the whole USB cd speeds. Only thing I used at the time was some generic cdrom drive connected to my external Dataflyer case. It worked to an extent.

But someone im sure will know more about it. This is why I don't go posting on everything like someone does *cough* franky *cough*.

:roflmao:

What a total dunderheid, rattling his gums about poor wee me and then nicking my avatar & claiming he's ignoring me... :roflmao:

Then the wahoo goes on to say he doesn't have a clue about USB CD speeds for the A1200, when if he hadn't been ignoring me he would have know that I've posted on a few occasions the answer to this... what a knobhead... :lol:

Are you really that thick, didn't think it was possible for a single cell organism like yourself to be so dumb... :roflmao:

Strange way you've got of ignoring all my posts like you claimed in the PM you sent me a couple of days ago along with your idle threats... :roflmao:

Ignoring my posts means you don't read them then respond to them but it's obvious your too thick to grasp a simple concept like that... gawd what an absolute waste of space you are, go back to AmiBay and ripping other Amiga users off seems it was the only thing you had any talent at, until you got caught... :D

RedNova made it quite clear in his original post that he wants to expand his A1200 but certain dunderheids round here can't get that through their thick skulls, reckon sharing that brain cell between them just aint working... :)

If the gentleman already has a 1200, going out and shelling out 400+ dollars for a 4000 is probably not the way to go.

Get one of the ACA cards if they are still available. For most classic amiga stuff, an 030 will do great, and they have more RAM than you'll know what to do with.

Graphics cards are nice but I guess I never felt the need. Seems to make it more of a PC. I got one of those already.

All you do is pollute threads with nonsense. now you are attacking me and its baseless you look like a fool. I've been in the Amiga community almost 15 yrs now, you are just some no life loser that found a place to latch onto since nobody in the real world will listen to you or want to be your friend. So, stop hijacking threads and using attacking me as an excuse to do so. Since you've been around many serious amiga guys dont come on aorg as they think its a joke.

Good job. One of the greatest and longest running amiga sites and you turn it into your personal playground. Maybe you can find another wife to sit around and play video games with and have your daughter bring you cofee refills and ashtray changes like you said in another thread. Great way to raise a child you worthless piece of euro trash.

Couldn't agree with you more. Well said.  It almost makes me ashamed claiming that I even used an Amiga when you got some crazed psycho like Franko at every corner you turn. Hell I think id rather have doomy back, and thats not something to be proud of....  Least doomy wouldnt be posting every moment he had a chance to.

Nope. Glad your wife ditched you when she did. Why be involved by a prick that "flaps his gums" at just about anything or comments on the littlest things?

Heres something you can try franko douche, not post for a week and piss off...

Oh wait... You can't! Not even if your life depended on it... This is getting fun!
