I play games on mine mostly, but want to get a HD to
do some programming on
the system. Flipping floppies is starting to get annoying.
Is there a SCSI adapter for the A500, and how hard would it be to get? The
HD expansions I've always seen don't strike me as being very reliable in
this day and age.
If you want to do programming, I'd recommend getting a newer Amiga, or doing
it under Emulation. I've had Amiga OS 3.9 running on both my A3000/25 and
on my PC, I hate to admit it, but unless you're running something that
requires the HW, emulating the Amiga on a modern system blows the real HW
away. I couldn't believe the difference. Of course I've got to admit, that
you really should have an accelerator board, if you're going to try and run
AmigaOS 3.9.
Now what I'd like to get a chance to play with is Amiga OS 4.0 on the new
hardware! I gather the OS will finally be released in March.
