gdanko Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yes, I am also an Amiga head I guess I just have a passion for the time when computing was fun.... Anyway, something made me miss the old ST I had as a kid.. so now I am looking to get my hands on some. I have most every Amiga model made with some duplicates. I also have a couple 520STs and a 1040ST coming but I'd like something with a little oomph to it. So if anyone has a clean TT030 or Falcon lying around I would be interested in trading a clean non-yellowed A4000 with CPU/ram card, SVGA card, and NIC.. maybe some other goodies. I know this may not be the place to look but I don't see as many Atari hangouts as I do Amiga hangouts!

tjlazer Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 A Falcon 030 is worth more than a A4000, but close enough for a trade I guess. I have two Falcon030's and four A4000's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two Falcon030's and four A4000's Not with the way I will load up this 4000. Accelrator + 64m fast Cyberstorm 643D NIC Other goodies I have seen systems like ths go for ~600+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdanko Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Probably a Cyberstorm MKII.. but the guy who initiated the trade has a MKIII for it so he may not need it. Not ready to give up my CSPPC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggn Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 I would _never_ trade my ataris for any amigas. Period! Recently I bought a a1200 for about 12 UKP and it's gathering dust, while both my falcons get almost daily excercise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdanko Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Conversely I use my Amiga(s) pretty regularly. I enjoy both the Amiga and Atari platforms... Both had great games/ The Atari had better sound but when it comes down to it, AmigaOS was a nicer OS. XaAES is pretty good though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jens Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I like MagiC/ Jinnee over MiNT/ XaAES/ TeraDesk. But one can also use MiNT with Jinnee which might make it better concerning look and feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nos AmigaOS offers the former but not the latter so you can still crash from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use three s/w for multitasking: MiNT, MagiC and Geneva. The first is free and open source, the other 2 are commercial (but not supported) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Amigas have an OS? Interesting, I thought they didn't OS 3.1 is pretty slick. 3.9 is prettier but bloated. Plus, 3.9 is simply a hacked 3.1 so there's no real new functionality... just a bunch of 3rd party addons incorporated into the OS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjlazer Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) 3.9 is more than just hacks, it is a new version official version from Amiga inc. That is what new versions are I don't know why people think that. It is still Version 3.x, it is not like they released version 4 as 3.9 Edited November 17, 2006 by tjlazer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdanko Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have heard otherwise, man. I heard 3.1 was the last REAL AOS from C= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 3.1 was the last official Amiga OS from C=, but Amiga Inc. later released both 3.5 and 3.9 as official releases. There was a bit more to them than just throwing in what were originally third party "hacks", but not a whole awful lot. However, I'm wanting to give AOS 4.0 a shot. Too bad it won't run natively on my A1200 without a PPC accelerator card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it will, but most Amiga-heads seem to be jonesing for the "real thing". Apparently there's about 4 or 5 different hardware manufacturers now putting together PPC-based systems meant specifically for OS 4, some of which actually look quite nice, including a few using lower power PPC embedded solutions. While it's a bummer there's no real working hardware (past the Eye-tech AOne, that is) at the moment, it's still interesting seeing where this is all going.
