My Amiga story... back in the day used to use big box Amigas A2000, A3000 in a company I worked for (9 months) called Medic-Media. We used Scala Infochannel and gfx software to make info screens, presentations and advertising for local businesses, that we would send via modem link to various hospitals (Manchester Area in England) - that they displayed in waiting areas. Good times... Many Thanks for video - interesting A600 stuff !

A short Amiga story. Back in the '80's, I worked at a small used computer store called 'The Byte Brokers'. I had access to lots of old equipment to feed my computer acquisition addiction. Altair, Osborn's, Ottrona's, Mindset, Sage, Commodore portable (laptop), Colts, 64's. etc. I could list dozens of machines we had (and many that I purchased). I ran the service department for many years and personally repaired hundreds of 64's (we were one of two facilities in the area). Belonged to the locale C64 club, and a Commodore rep (unfortunately don't remember his name) attended and brought out a pre-production Amiga 1000. OMG, I was hooked... it was so far advanced over anything I had ever seen or used. So being a retailer, we obviously had some relationships with other local computer dealers... and I told my boss - hey - want an Amiga 1000. So he called the local Amiga dealer to be (It was either Businessland or Computerland - it was 34 or 35 years ago) and let them know that we wanted one. So on a very, very stormy night here I got the call to come and get it... and I sped my way ovr in my '69 Camaro and picked that baby up.... $1200 plus tax - got the first one in the area as well as the first discount. Now keep in mind, there were no monitors or peripherals available for it. No software yet either - just the OS and the demos that came with it. But it started one helluva love affair with a computer, and I have had one ever since.... had several different ones... and hopefully I will find another 3000 (I bought one new and later sold it to help pay for a new baby) at a reasonable cost (yeah, I just fell out of my chair laughing as well).... anyway, that's my story. ;)

I remember back in 1992'ish, when attending a computer weekend. A teen at the age of 13 were there as well, and he had an Amiga3000 Tower. That he had turn tables and mixer hooked up to, and used the setup to make hiphop-techno crossover music on. He recorded it on reel to reel. I wanted a 3000-T ever since then.

Hi Chris love your Videos... From an Amiga Crack addict. This is due to when I was way little I used to gloss over the magazines adverts looking at these amazing Amiga Machines sales adverts. But sadly, my parents could not afford one so couple years later I learnt how to build a 166x PC out of spare parts from my first Job. Speeding to 2018 I found an A500 in my partners grandparents draw due to a clear out of the house. With fantastic help from the community, I was helped a lot to get the machine up and running and switch on after 30years. Now i am an Addict and i have since collected an 2x A500s which one was my own trash to treasure and was left dead in the woods. I also have an A2000 which rescued from a FB clear out and an now an A1200 on loan from a friend.... It is now that I lock myself in the Man Cave with these machines watching your channel locking myself away from the other half and the kids and the dog... Love it..

One of my co-workers gave me his A1000 that had been stored in his attic for 25-30 years... and it works. It's the computer that his son used to learn to program. It also happens to be my first Amiga (I had always read about them but never had the chance to use, let alone own, one). I'm currently working on restoring it.

I ordered one of these, but My A1200 is too fast (same CPU on the axel card, but 128MB fastram and more options. Individual Computers ACA1234 for those who are considering too fast option - they manufacture cards for A500 too). The only reason I would use A600 because it doesn't have AGA glitches on all the demos and games. AGA cannot be turned off no matter what even using the early startup menu as it is a hardware chip, not software. A600 - ECS. A1200 AGA. Great for those software that support AGA like Deluxe Paint and several good games. 68030 Gold Top. So to use all the software (I have an 6GB disk image or so) I need two Amigas. I also have MiSTer FPGA (MiniMig - soft 68020 core) as a low end reference to compare other systems with. Cool video. Retro Passion Co Uk. They can rebuild whole PCBs.

Another great vid Chris 👍🏻 Slung my Furia too! Now running a ACA620 I picked up from Fleabay and like you glad I swapped. Don’t really like the Furia. Too much messing around for something that should just work 🙄 My Amiga Story; Not going to start from the beginning. With A500 in 1989 or A1200 and CDTV in 1993. I’m starting from 2006 where I decided to get back into the Amiga scene. I don’t know what it is, but the Amiga is a enigma that I still needed to explore in the 21st Century. Since buying a ESCOM/Amiga Technologies NOS off EBay (First part of the journey not knowing that after Commodore, the Amiga was being made after 1994!). I’ve discovered a lot more about what the Amiga can do. For example that ESCOM made systems had a change on the mainboard to use a PC type Floppy Drive, but meant you couldn’t use older Commodore made floppy drives and Gotek internal drives. Since then I’ve dabbled with Tower projects with Mediators to actually owning my Dream Amiga. The Amiga A4000 Desktop which I upgraded to the max with a Cyberstorm PPC/060 as well as discovering trying Amiga OS 4.1FE for the first time. To me the Amiga still holds a lot of mystery and it’s always Head blast finding out new things every day.

Love all your videos! I started back with the A1000 before there was a model number on them. Still have the monitor, which also has no model number anywhere on it! Migrated to the A500 the next year, and then to the A2000 a couple years after. I started running a BBS (Citadel-68k room-based software) on the A500, and started to migrate to the A2000 while upgrading it to 8megs RAM, 40M HD. It had external Zip-drive for backups, and a 7-disc CD drive for Fred Fish discs access to the BBS. Just before having to clean house for a move, I was about to add a 1.44 floppy in for DF1: About 2 years ago, I bought an A2000 in the hopes of starting the BBS back up, but have run into various problems, inconsistent problems, and now the video splitter/capture card won't work, and both floppies don't work. The MegAChip doesn't make any change, so I'm stuck with 5M chip. After our last move, the modem won't connect to the phone line; still working with Spectrum on that issue... Again, love your humor and memes you come up with on the fly!

Back in the day a school friend and I both agreed to each buy an Atari ST over the weekend after debating Amiga vs ST for weeks. My dad went out and bought me a used 512STFM on the Saturday. On the Monday my friend tells me he bought an Amiga. He got me good on that one. Never did own an Amiga in the end ;( Also bonus Amiga story. I worked at a UK Escom store back in '95 when they relaunched the A1200. Sold one or two. For some reason I can't explain, I watch Amiga vids on the internet. (and some ST vids ;)

My best Amiga story is about my 1000. It started out with only 256K. Then added an additional 256K in the front panel. My next addition was an A-Max Macintosh emulator. I then added a ROM switcher with 1.3 and 2.something. Next came an expansion box with two slots. Into those slots I put a 2MB card and a BridgeBoard card. My last addition was an Amiga 2000 keyboard and adapter as my original keyboard became FUBAR. Wish I still had all of this! The only item I still have from that time is my Mac IIci with it's '040 accelerator and a Screaming video card whose make escapes my old brain. Too lazy to get it out and check, lol. That system was close to $10,000 back then. A fool and his $$$.

My COOLEST Amiga story is that I have None. I grew up on PC's have only recently discovered the AMAZEMENT of Amiga. I wish I had one when I was younger, and I also wish I had learned about them sooner. I am planning on building a Pimiga very soon, I just have to find a day with a clear schedule and and be in the right mood. I've got a CM4 and the board it clips onto has a PCIe Gen3x4 nvme m.2 slot which I have a 500GB drive in there. It's total overkill fora Pimiga so I I'm gonna load up one of my 256gb SD cards to multi-boot different builds and I'll make a nice grub menu if possible so I can switch between Pimiga, Rasp Pi 0S, Twister OS (or whatever it's called now), Retro Pi, and some others I might come across in the future.... It will most be for running Pimiga because I know there is SO MUCH for me to learn about it and I tend to prefer learning new stuff over playing games, even if they are retro, but I'm SUPER interested in the games that are on the Amiga because I've never played any of them (or even heard of a lot of them for that matter either LOL) So there it is.. my (soon to be) Amiga/Pimiga story. I planned on making some videos about building it, but I've never done anything like that and I'm not even sure if I would want to start Channel... but if I do I'll throw up some info in your comments. THANKS for ALL the GREAT KNOWLEDGE!!! :)

@richard.20000 Год назад
50 MHz CPU is ridiculous in 2023 to be honest. Ultra cheap MCU for 4$ like ESP32 runs at 240 MHz, has dual CPU, is 32-bit RISC ISA and has 64-bit FPU. I do not understand why they don't make 68040 at some more advanced manufacturing process, let's say on 12 nm. That would be super small, dirt cheap, low power consumption and would run around 1000 MHz. That would be nice upgrade for Amiga. Thanks god for PiStorm.
