Well if I could get my hands on one of those in full working order, boxed, as well as a few other obscure commercial failures and classics, then I could die a very happy man knowing that I finally became a proud own of such wonderful toys, or as most would class it as "techno junk"

My mate had an Atari 800, while I had a ZX Spectrum...I was kinda envious.

Could have been worse, I could have had an Aquarius lmao

QuoteMy wife says that this is electronic garbage but for me it is pure nostalgia.

My sister says a similar thing, until I tell her that what I have is worth around six grand.

Might be worth more but surely will be worth more as gets more rare.

Aaarghh! And I thought I was the only one in the world who had this one Dawlane!   

I miss my Amiga 1200 and Amos cover disk since the CU Amiga and Amiga Format days 

I still have my Miggy1200 but I replaced the hdd with an SD card, works great. It's a tad yellowed though, so time to give it the good old Retrobright treatment..

Wow-   I know this is an old post but AMOS for Win works great and superfast on my Win 10 computer!  Funny thing is I dug out my A1200 last week and checked out my AMOS programs from the 90's - they still work.....but getting a decent picture on current lot of LCD monitors is not fun at all.  My old Commodore monitors are ancient and don't work well anymore. Used to have a A3000 but it died years ago- it had a decent VGA output.

On Aliexpress / ebay and the likes you can get a tv tuner/converter for little money that will allow you to hook up almost anything to a TV/LCD.

Atari 520 ste was what I was rocking with stos . Now loving AGK2.

Not sure how well it will work, still waiting for it to come from China, if it ever comes

@Pfaber11 
I know *exactly* what you mean!

@fairgood
Yeah that's what I mean. These boxes contain all the hw we needed to have in the old Amiga days.
