I did indeed, 'cause it was cheap.

Always rocked out with a 600 as a kid, that's where the nostalgia's at. Plus, 1200s are expensive. And 500s are shit to me brah.

I think I might look at getting a 500 when things are sorted out and I'm settled next year. I never had an Amiga but some of my friends did so that's where all my nostalgia for them comes from.

And old computers > old consoles to me. That's just the way it is. :wacko:

After a fair bit of tracking down, finally found a good quality copy of the Scratches OST, Uploading it now and posting it :D

600 with 2MB RAM + 4GB CF card = heaven.

500 = trying to locate disks from people/eBay as there's no way to get them on it any other way. :-/

From a hard drive/CF card yes. Which you can't put into a 500. :wacko:

600 and 1200.

600 requires a Kickstart chip upgrade as the default one either doesn't support a hard drive or only supports 40MB of a hard drive. Most eBay sellers with CF cards can include the latest Kickstart chip with it so you can utilise all 4GB. They also always come with like 2000+ games on there ready to be played as well.

But on a 600 you need 2MB of RAM as the 1MB inside of it isn't enough for WHDLoad. :-/

Not even the 500+? Isn't the 600 meant to just be a smaller version of that one?

500+ just has 512KB more RAM than the standard 500, meaning it has 1MB.

And yeah the 600 is a smaller 500+, but it has an onboard ATA controller. 500+ doesn't.

Also has PCMCIA in built too.
