Re: Memories

I got a A590 here with the wopping 20mb working as well!

eJ2095

Oddly enough

I am in the middle of bringing my a1200 back to life.

Replaced the hardrive with a CF card and it boots in 5 seconds, also got a 68030 card in there...

Its up and running atm, fun to set up (and trying to remember short cuts etc after 20 years)

WHDLoad is running on it :-0 But to be fair never really played many games on it.

My a1200 back in 1998 was my first computer i took online and what fun it was.

But still want an a4000 to play with

And just a small plus if there are any EX Amiga users on here that used IRC back in the late 90s ans sat on arcnet on a channel called #pba say hi :--0
