A1200 Heaven
Ok
Two parnets, five Amiga 1200s, three external SCSI hds, two CDs, and three
SCSI ZIPS later and a full day transferring and copying files I think I
finally have my new A1200 setup the way I like it. Just mucking around with
icons at the moment. Thing is having designed all my own and having
literally thousands I could never really use any of the later OSs beyond
3.0/3.1. I just love the feel of 3.0 and it works perfectly.
One niggle is that I chose the Apollo accelerator which I am regretting. I
may replace with a Blizzard. Games like Banshee and SimCity2000 will just
not work. Everything else is generally fine. It has quite a healthy level of
memory and is **cking fast... I mean very fast. So we will see.
Interesting that last night with just the 1200 and the Microvitec on this
room got a bit chilly early in the morning. Normally I only need the Win7
machine to keep me warm.
Ar hum.... Cuppa tea me thinks.
On that ZIP front.. great little tool cus it just transfers to PC so easy.
100MB is a ton of information for the Amiga but a drop in the ocean for the
PC. And when you have PCs networked as I do getting software quickly around
the place is just one ZIP away. Fingers crossed, I have never has a ZIP disk
bomb out on me and I have a lot of ZIPs... shelves full of them. I much
prefer the ZIP to CD. Just watch out where you place them on a daisy with
SCSI cus they have a habit of winding down and I had one kill a hard drive
once.
