My dad bought us an Amiga 1000 when I was kid. Our very first bought game was Deep Space (I still have the comic that came with it about an owl man called Stryx). Such good memories.

Unfortunately, I missed the Amiga train back in the day. I went from CP/M an Exidy Sorcerer Mk II to Dos on a 386sx Laptop. Having said that I was always intrigued so I built a dedicated emulated 4000 machine and was blown away with what it could do decades before the competition.

Just stumbled across this channel. You make me want to dig out my Amiga collection and boot them up, but they’d probably blow up. I have the 500plus with an external GVP drive, 600, 1200 and 1500, but I just use Amiga forever for safety.

Amiga OS 3.2 is brilliant. It doesnt detract from the feeling of 3.1 but it has so many niceties and genuinely helpful features so its not a chore to use.

She looks great! I look forward to seeing you wake her up, new apps, networking, more modern storage perhaps etc. I do not know much about the later Commodores. I also do not know about their file sharing options. I do know there is a linux server designed for use with classic computers. It is made to be hosted on a local network, not exposed to the rest of the Internet. It supports old protocols from the older less security minded internet. Even your 8 bit machines can "Dial-in" using attachments which look like modems, but work over WiFi. THey use an Raspberry Pi or similar microcontroller to be the "modem". If I find it I will edit this post. I hope this helps. I would do more, but its a long walk from Boston in the States.

Now this is some great intel. Thank you, gives me more inspiration. If I work it out it may be the subject a future KZbin itself. As for getting the 8 Bit online, I do that every week with my C643 bread bin... usually to the U.S. like CottonwwodBBS. Thanks for the feedback (and that link if you find it!)

Mini din connector Amiga keyboards were for the Amiga 4000 desktop only! The full din connector was for the A4000T A3000/A3000T & A1500/A2000 There all wired the same through!

Oh I would love to get my hands on a reasonably priced 4000T... (if not an ATL/Philips HDI 1000 for the ultimate rare and wanted). If you're running P96 sw for the gfx card then you might want to look into getting a ZZ9000 instead - comes with network, USB, scandoubler and optional audio card.

Commodore went bust before they could mass produce it. The tower version of Amiga 4000 was meant to be released in 1994, but around this time Commodore went bankrupt and only about 200 units were manufactured. The Amiga on a whole An estimated 4,850,000 Amigas were eventually sold, with roughly 30 percent in the U.K., and another 30 percent in Germany. Reportedly, only 700,000 were sold in North America - roughly the same number sold in Italy. For comparison there were just over 11,500 Amiga 4000 (non tower) in Germany alone, the largest market at the time. In summary I’d say the 4000T is rare.

Wait so you could pull the keys and re-arrange them based on US keyboard layout?...... noting some have umlauts. Don't do a 3.2 upgrade, get a separate drive, CF, etc and put it on there. These is something beautiful about keeping it close to the original - yes I am aware I asked about moving keys......... Also what about recapping are you going to do that or get someone to do that for you? Smart move on the backup. Really looking forward to seeing some more vids.

From bitter experience, I've learned to keep a soldering iron out of my hand except for the most basic jobs. I wouldn't dare put this computer through that. Glad to see I'm not alone in maintaining 3.1. and thats a great solution to run OS3.2 off a CF card. Best of both worlds.

Does your dog bark in an accent, too? I vote upgrading it to AmigaOS 3.2 - I have it on almost all my machines and it is difficult going back to bare AmigaOS 3.1 - it adds so many nice features, and the ability to use large hard drives is worth the price of admission

The 4000T is indeed very uncommon. You don't see 3-4 of them for sale every week on eBay like, say, a C128 or C64. More like 3-4 times a year. "Rare" to me seems like 3-4 times a decade, with "Very Rare" being 0-3 appearances Ever. Just MHO though. *BOOT TIME* - omg, yes his machine boots quickly. Mine takes around 45 seconds or so, mostly just sitting there scanning the SCSI bus presumably. I have never been able to figure out why.

@commodorecave5581 Жыл бұрын
Yes it's strange. My A4000 desktop just sits there for about 45 seconds contemplating the universe before hitting the hard drive to boot. One day I will work out why. And you see the 4000T for sale 3 or 4 times a year! So you don't live in Australia. I've seen maybe 2 or 3 in the last decade offered here.
