Your dream Amiga?

[TiredOfLife]

Pretty much got mine.
Just need PPC really.
Was hoping to get the Shark, or PowerVixen, but can't see it happening now.

have a go at a few games on it with the real disk drive noises

You can even activate the floppy sound in WinUAE, hilarious

It's not perfect though, it just clicks when the number goes up or down.

Points taken, I just think there's something "wrong" in using a 64-bit, Gigahertz PC to run software from a 7Mhz, 16 bit machine (14 Mhz and 32-bit if you count the A1200).

I'm not a total nostalgia freak, I am not going to lovingly polish the plastic of my Amiga and keep it in a vacuum so as not to ruin it, I intend to mod my A1200 with a 4Mb trapdoor expansion, a 2Mb SRAM card, a buffered IDE interface and a laptop DVD-ROM, and load games to a 1.4Gb hard drive that didn't exist back then...I don't want to think about what some of these expansions cost back then.

My old 2Mb A600 had a 40 Mb laptop hard drive in it that was near the cutting edge back when I had it in the early 90s. Yes, I want to play games on it once it's finished, but that doesn't mean I have to wait ages and swap loads of floppies, now that WHDload is around.

The Amiga had a huge following and just because some of us are older now, that doesn't mean we gave up on it....

Virtual floppy clicks? Nah, give me the real thing any day......
