Cool! How about letting us know what you think of
Amiga OS 3.9 once you get
it loaded! I'm especially interested in the networking side of it. I don't
suppose you've got a graphics card or network card in the system?
I don't have a network card, but if all goes well a GVP
Spectrum graphics card is going into it. BTW, 3.9 includes a bunch
of AVI's and a few MP3's on the CD to test the various media players
with, as well as an audio track. I'm not planning on upgrading any
of the other custom chips unless I find I have to, such as the Buster.
Hmmm, I've now got some room under my main computer
desk, so I could
potentially fit the A3000 I've got stuffed into a Tower case under there, or
de-tower it and set it up.
Mine's going underneathe my NEC monitor and sharing it with
the G3. This little Multisync C400 has certainly seen it's share of
various computers since I bought it in '96!
I'd like to get it back up and running, but the
question always seems to be,
what am I going to do with it.
I'm going to use mine as a backup system as well as one to
handle those times when I just feel the urge ot use an Amiga. The
fact that it doesn't depend on anything MS is nice too. You could
also use it as a Linux box too. It'd be cool to fix the kernel panic
on mine when booting into Linux, but that's a low priority. I think
I saw some of the distro files still on the hard disk when I was
moving stuff around on the Amiga partition.
