   same here, maybe AROS team wake up and find fidonet and the amiga echo ?   
      
   AROS = Amiga Replacement OS   
      
    WvV> Any news on the hardware front?   
      
   i don't know realy, i just hope hardware wonders join fidonet and amiga   
      
    WvV>>> Or has it all died out...   
    BP>> don't say that, it might happend   
    WvV> Sorry! ;)   
      
   until then its time for UAE to make something, and have it on aminet   
      
    BP>> if i remember you have an a1200 ? :-)   
      
    WvV> A1200? I have a A4000 and a A500 (gathering dust), before that a    
    WvV> A1000... Is the A1200 an actual machine?   
      
   yes it is, try searching http://www.google.com/ :-)   
      
    WvV> I don't remember that...?   
      
   a1200 is a lightwigth a4000   
   a500 do as a a600, but a500 plus is realy just an a600 in hardware where the   
   a500 ports is still the samme, where its changed on a600 to be like the a1200   
   is   
      
   and a500 plus have no pcmcia card slot, a600 can only have 2M chip mem, and if   
   you want more you need a new computer :/   
      
   a600 and a1200 can have mem extensions on pcmcia cardslots, but you can max   
   have 4M internel mem in the 8M autoconfig range so, problem is that the   
   cardslot is in the autoconfig memory range, for realy no reason :/(   
      
    WvV>>> I doubt the amiga floppies I have saved somewhere in a box, are   
    WvV>>> still readable... It must be more than 5 years since they have seen    
    WvV>>> some daylight! ;   
      
   its true that floppys not last long, but i bet thay can be if its good floppys   
   and you did not just put them around the monitor where there is manigtic   
   things, even c64 floppys holds very good :-)   
      
    BP>> thats why i belive its a good ting trade mark to save it some where   
    WvV> Indeed! Can Amiga floppies be red on a PC?   
      
   yes if you are lucky to have a drive that can run 150 RPM :-)   
      
   most pc drives can only 300   
      
   remember crossdos on amiga ? :-)   
      
    WvV> Or do you need to start your Amiga to convert them to files?   
      
   that will work yes :-)
