Christmas 91 - A500+ Cartoon Classics pack

The A500, shortly after I got a 512KB trapdoor expansion since I bought a game that required 1MB.

I still have the recite from the A500 and back then I payed 5000SEK which is 764USD, but guessing the value of the USD back then I would say it probably was around 500-550USD.

Since I was quite young back then that was quite a large amount of money for me

Amiga 500, Kick1.2, Rev. 3.
I still have her around, but due to several repairs I needed to replace the MoBo. It features now Kick 3.1 and 2MB Chip.

Stock C= A1200, KS 3.0 with Lemmings 2 and Jurassic Park AGA. It was my first personal computer at 10 years old.

[Duce]

An early A3000 16 Mhz that came with a 1950 Monitor, a set of A10 speakers, and a Star NX-2420 printer.  

Cost my old man a fortune via an employee purchase plan at his work, but was a fun little machine.  Later swapped it for an A4000 '040 that I put a '060 and CyberVision into.

First Amiga was the 4000T from Anti-Gravity.. Had always wanted an Amiga back when the A1000 came out. Remember dreaming of owning the 1000 reading my Commodore mags back in the day.

I started out with the A1000 back in 86 or so... I still have it, although the internal floppy is hosed. Fortunately, I installed a DKB Kwikstart board to hold the kickstart ROMS. I used to have a slap-on-the-side 2-card ZorroII box with a CBM 2058 RAM card and a Trumpcard SCSI controller. I sold that box when I moved to a 2000.

I started out in 1987 with an Amiga 500.  I purchased a 512K trapdoor memory expansion, extra floppy drive, and 1084 monitor.

About a year later I sold the A500 and bought a used A2000 system.  To that I added a SCSI card, Commodore 020 card, Microway flicker fixer, and a Mitsubishi diamond scan monitor (able to to 15.5Khz and 31Khz).

In 1990 I sold off the A2000 system and purchased an A3000 16Mhz system.  I knew I would upgrade the CPU at some point so I didn't want to spend the extra for the 25Mhz version.  I eventually added a progressive peripheral Mercury 040 card, and a couple GVP high speed serial cards.  Oh..  And I had to buy a used A500 since none on my games worked on the A3000

Once the AGA machines came out I game up.  In five years I had spent over 10K on my computer hobby.  I wasn't going to fork out another couple grand for an A4000 that was in some ways inferior to my A3000.

About a month before Commodore went bankrupt (1994) I sold off my A3000 system (kept the A500 for games), and I built myself an IBM Pentium P5 60Mhz computer with the money.  

I still remember that PC well.  16MB RAM, Orchid Celsius VLB graphics card w/2mb VRAM, Sound Blaster Audio, CDROM, IDE VLB Controller with high speed serial UARTS, Western Digital Caviar HD.  It's sad..  But I knew at that point I had made the right decision.  That PC lasted me for four years until I built a Pentium II-233 system.

I still have a soft spot for the Amiga.  I currently has 2 A2000's and an A500.

My father bought an original Amiga 1000 in 85, and I started using it in 89. We had lots-o-software, a 2MB external RAM expansion and dial-out BBS capabilities. I was given the A1000 when my father bought our first PeeCee (Intel) in the early-mid 90's. My A1000 lasted till about 2001, when it finally died. I gave all my software and accessories to my best friend who has a NOS A500.

[Leffmann]

Ours was an A500, the plain white box without any extras, bought in 1992. We added the mandatory 512K RAM expansion, and a ridiculously expensive Zydec mouse, which has shown merit for its cost as it's still working after 22 years!

Amiga 1200 bought in 1995/96

Hours of fun using Wordworth and SWOS 94/95.

My first one was an A500 w/4MB Baseboard expansion on a multisync tv (had the A520 adapter also).  Great machine!
