I have had that Amiga for over 10 years now and I'm not going to be selling it anytime soon!! It has a Blizzard 1230 @ 50Mhz with I think 16Mb of ram on it. It also has a hard drive of some size, but I cant remember

I used to have a fully modded Amiga 1200 (tower, PPC + Bvision and all the rest of it) but one day I turned it on and it went bang. I lost over £1400 worth of hardware I had upgraded too. I was gutted to put it mildly.

After that it was down hill really after the claim, I went with PC's and well its gotten worse ever since!! :lol: I miss the Amiga OS, I think it was simple, easy to use and bloody quick considering the hardware that was used.
I still have Amiga OS 3.5 underneath the bed with all the Amiga games I own (all original too!!) with some of my most favourite games ever! The Settlers for one, Indy Heat as it was just such a laugh!, Project X amazing shoot em up, Choas Engine and god knows what else was under there

I got the Mega CD 1 because I like having the headphone socket

It means I can connect it up to my processor and have surround sound, Mega Drive style!!

I would like to say I wont ever be selling any of them
