Welcome to Amiga.org and good luck with your A1200.
It sounds like you've just bagged yourself a nice system.
How serious do you want to go?
You can get your A1200 on the net for example.

And so begins the slippery slope, lol :lol:

This is a wallet emptying, spare time consuming zone!

     Oh Gawd!  Don't think that I've ever heard it explained that well before.  Slippery slope?  More like riding a surfboard in an avalanche don't you think?  Best regards...Art

i'm in san diego, california. interested in the 4 gigger, most likely.

accompanying the amiga was a steering wheel and foot pedals for racing games.

and of course i want it on the net. do they make ethernet for amiga, and can amiga network with windows based machines?

oh, and that motorla processor? expansion bay. memory is in the expansion slot.


and the avalanche?? i've ridden down this cash-flow mountain with my other hobby... i'm just looking for the lift to get to the top here again.. it's a fun ride!

Yep, notice the little slot the on left side of the machine? That's an ancient 16 bit PCMCIA slot which can take (amongst other things, including the above mentioned SCSI interface) ethernet cards. However you should pay notice that PCMCIA network cards you might find actually have drivers for it. There's a package on Aminet (that being a very large collection of Amiga freeware and shareware (www.aminet.net)) called something like cnet.device which is a generic driver for a lot of PCMCIA network cards.

You would need a TCP/IP stack as this is not included with OS3.0 (in fact only with 3.9 did AmigaOS get a proper stack included). There's a demo of a stack called Miami on Aminet, fully functional only limited to 30 mins of usage. The prog can't be registered anymore though :-(.
