I love my Amiga 600 and I consider any attempt how to run this old HW in modern days as fascinating. There are also guys who run 386 PC with Win95 which is similar fun as what Amiga fans do. I noticed there is also extreme down clocking movement which does crazy things like to achieve the world's slowest Win XP by using down clocked Pentium Overdrive in 486 socket at 8 MHz. This results in booting OS in 20 minutes 🙂 I think it's the same passion and love for our machines no matter if it's Amiga or something else. Personally I see future in using PiStorm in Amiga with Aros OS to maximize usability. I thing one of the biggest mistake Amiga engineers did back then is they didn't adopted x86 CPU (like Steve Jobs did in Apple). Today's ARM processors are rising stars and getting outperforming x86 ones. So adopting ARM CPU for Amiga via PiStorm is pretty good thing for future life of our Amigas.

So what's your regret? It is hardly expandable (and expansions aren't nearly as good and affordable as for A1200), CD mechanism fails a lot. You can hardly use newer versions of OS (3.2) which works ok on any other platform. Let's face it... CD32 was a big flop and still is.

​@@AmigaWolf Yeah, in 1996 I recall it being around $400 for 64mb of ram. It was in later 1995 that they had singular 64mb SD-RAM modules, instead of buying a whole bunch of smaller sticks. As for what I had at the time, in December 1996 I got my first computer (HP Vectra) with 64mb ram, a Dual Pentium Pro 200mhz (400mhz total), 1.3 gb hard drive, a Voodoo 1 gpu, plus monitor, keyboard, speakers, and mouse for $4,000. Outside of adding a bigger hard drive and Voodoo Banshee in June 1998, it pretty much played everything up to the original Xbox era, when the machine gradually became obsolete. I and my Dad wanted something that would last us a long time, without having to buy a new computer unit every year or two like other people did.

This is honestly very impressive. I remember seeing those small screen videos in SonicCD and Road Avenger on MegaCD and being blown away by it. Sure, there was the PlayStation afterwards which handled such things like a champ but I find these machines still fascinating as they show what's up to come that is nowadays a total given on machines much smaller and way more powerful than what we had back then.

That's impressive! Given how today KZread is available on so many devices, seeing this on such old hardware and it being so watchable is pretty cool! Nice one! 😎👍

I had an Amiga back in the day, I had one for about 3 years from '93 (when I was 23 years old,) to about '96. Quite late in the Amiga's life and mainly got one for the Music capabilities. I played a few games, but not that many. I was using programmes like Oktalyzer, Sound tracker, etc to make music on. I had two 1200's, one 600 and two 500's. Funnily enough the 600 was my favourite of the bunch because I was able to modify it and put a 2.5 inch hard drive in it and it worked! But in around 94 I got my first PC and that was it for my Amiga. I never turned it on again and finally after about 2 years took it down from the wardrobe and gave it to a local charity shop and never looked back. Honestly, if I had the choice of a PC or Amiga back then I would without a doubt gone for a PC. It was superior in every way possible. Even now I love my PC more than I ever did my Amiga.

Glad that you are back!

Wow nice a Dan Wood video ! !!

I loved my Amiga, My Tandy color computer 3, My Timex Sinclair and my Commodore 64 SX suitcase laptop model... I used them far past their shelf lives. I even bought one of those C64 retro deals and was planning on doing the mods to install my own software... Then I realized. I do not miss these old systems, not one bit. I like the nostalgia, but I would much rather run an emulator or a rom, and I really dont miss doing that anymore. But regardless of how I feel about old vintage computers... Great video! The browser that takes screenshots and send them from a remote server... Just wow. A lot of effort for like 12 people that use it.

Wow we’re really in the future today pulling old consuls out of the attic and make a new I thought HDMI mods were cool Great job

Now that's a way to watch KZread! I always thought the picture quality isn't good enough on my modern systems.

I remember when windows 95 launched. At the time I had a 486 SX 2-50Mhz. The demo videos that came with the CD was not even close to that. Bravo my friend.

I started browsing the web on an Amiga 1200 in 1997. No big problem back in the days

3:48 That’s the kind of upgraded console that I like. One that is faster than stock but is still that system at heart rather than something like an original xbox that has been internally replaced with modern gaming pc hardware running windows.
