I've got 3 of them.  2 with A1200 mobos and 1 for my A4000.  They're great bits of kit of you want to really expand your A1200 and essential of you want to add a Mediator.


Not sure what I want to do with the 1200. I have my 600 setup pretty sweet and use that for gaming. Never really tried any of the AGA games so the 1200 is a bit like the family silver. It only comes out for special occasions :D

If I were to mod it I would certainly tower it. Because if would want to mod the hell out of it. I seem to recall a 600 that someone had put into a desktop case.

I don't have time to use my MacMini "Amiga". Too busy with uni stuff at the moment. But i get 4 weeks off in about a months time so i will use it then. My mini needs a bit of maintainance like installing the Airport wireless card thingy and getting rid of that dreadful Apple startup sound.


Morph OS is something I would be curious to use if I still had my 4g mac mini. I do not envy you on maintaining the mini though. I had my old one open to install some new RAM. Such a tight space to work in.

Chaos Engine is great on the Amiga. I prefer it over the SNES version and the audio and visuals seem better on the Amiga. I was playing Turrican II the other day and that was the first game I ever played on the Amiga. The theme tune still sticks with me today and it instantly takes me back and puts a smile on my face :)

Wait you have never tried Morphos even when you owned one?

No. At that point I had dropped out of the Amiga scene and hardly ever used my Amiga. It wasn't till some time after I sold the Mac Mini I realized about Morph OS. :(

Now there again is something I would love to try. However pricing of HW kind of pushes that out of my reach at the moment lol.
 
Which might be an excuse to pimp my 1200 out and try the OS4 classic.

I wouldn't waste my money on OS4.x for classic. I have heard it is rubbish. I have seen it on youtube and i fail to see the appeal over 3.x apart from the added eye candy, no tech support or updates, incompatibity issues and a massive reduction in speed. At least that is what i have heard - i think maybe from Franko? Not sure.

HI,

How can you insult the Amiga like that "MacMini "Amiga", why not call it like it really is a MacMini impersonating an Amiga.

I know how to get rid of that dreadful Apple startup sound, place your fake imperonating Macmini Amiga under a steam roller. Should never play that sound again.

smerf :+] LOL

@CritAnime,

[Morph OS is something I would be curious to use if I still had my 4g mac mini. I do not envy you on maintaining the mini though. I had my old one open to install some new RAM. Such a tight space to work in]

Such a tight space to work in, reminds me of the person who built those things, very tight, in other words a tightwad taking your money. May he rest in hello operator.

Hi,

@CritAnime,

Don't waste your time, have a ppc card in my A1200 and am running OS 4.1, thinking of going back to OS 3.1/3.5/3.9 operating system, haven't found any use for OS 4.1 as of yet. Enjoy using my A4000 / 040/25mhz system more and it seems to run faster than a 250mhz ppc Amiga. Not only that but OS 4.1 crashes a lot, rather use MorphOS on a MacMini with an awful startup sound.
OK
I give credit where credit is due, OS 4.1 so far is the pits, a crashbox, run slow, at least on an Amiga 1200 with a Blizzard ppc card.

Have been looking at MacMini's but everytime I do, I throw up.

Yeah i agree that the Mac Mini is trying to impersonate an Amiga. Or maybe the other way around. I have a theory that the developers are all Apple loving zealots who secretly wish Amigas were Apples. They are trying to Applefy the Amiga community   :eek:  

Also if you want to honour the Amiga you could start by stop using that crappy emulation dosbox stuff and use your real Amigas.

Hi,

@Kesa,

Have my Amiga 4000 turned on every day, use it to play soliton, megaball, and Adoom. Just installed Crazy8's, Leading Lap and Space Taxi. Usually just use it for data basing with Pen Pal, don't know why but I lke Pen Pals data base program. Guess I am just weird.

Why do I use Amiga Foever, why because I can, besides don't really lke using the Amiga's that much, after all the old girls getting old. Want to save her for the future, but I found out the more you use her the better she works. Must be something about exercising her old silicon.

A lot of people will say Tower Assault is better, but I end up playing Alien Breed 2 a lot more. It's an amazing game in a lot of ways, once you get past the atrocious first level.
