@HRHShawnPendragone Continued: "To truly multitask u need to have preprogrammed cpus not just a few more cpus." - First, define "preprogrammed CPUs". Second, if the Amiga can multitask for real by using the 680x0 CPU together with a Blizzard or similar acceleration board, a multicore PC can multitask for real by using one core to run one app and another core to run another at the same time.
"The Amiga is the only system that can do real- time multitasking." - No, any multicore system can.
"Amiga has multiple preprogrammed cpus - chipset" - I told you, using the custom chips for one application does not count as multitasking because it's still one application. And if it does, a monoprocessor PC has multitasking to because it uses the GPU together with the CPU.
@HRHShawnPendragone What do you mean with "u have to have the hardware"? Are you implying that the Amiga can actually run more processes AT THE SAME TIME (as opposed to a preemptive multitasking like monoprocessor PCs do)? Because that's definitely not the case, you need more than one core for real multitasking, there's no escape from that.
(BTW, with "multitasking" I don't mean running a program that delegates a copper list to Agnus, I mean running more than one executable at the same time).
do any IDE extentions have to be for amiga? (like if i put in a CD Drive from a PC or an older Hard Disk)
also can i put in 1.44MB Floppies in here (even if i don't get the full 1.44 Megs, i just have a crap load of empty ones from the PC)
(Sorry if these questions are Dumb, i never owned an amiga.. since we only had a PC back in 95\96, and i'm younger than this computer and a big retro fan :P)
No, IDE is a standard. A CD drive for IDE is exactly for IDE no matter the platform. There is usually some problems with Hard drives bigger then 4GB though. 1.44 Floppys works like a charm. But you have to format them to amiga format offcourse.
And for the record, A2000 does not have IDE inbuildt, there has to be a controller card for that. But i guess most of them is equipped with one theese days. (sorry for any bad spelling)
haa, you got same tshirt as me, lol btw i got a2000, 2x amigas 500, and a1200. I always wanted A4000T - Im thinking to get rid of all of mines and just keep 1200
@pokerockmario123 The cracktro for the operating system (ROTFL) belongs in the trash for sure. Why not edit the startup-sequence to NOT display it? What's the use of a cracktro in an OS disk?

You gotta take care of that return key dude. That machine needs caring :P Stop stroking it like it was your ex-girlfriend.

Funny how the Amiga had true multi-tasking decades before Microsoft implemented it in Windows 95.

@ImoenOfTelengard Well i wouldn't pluralise that, it was a "decade" before Windows 95 but yes you are correct :) The Amiga was an incredible machine.

i might be getting one soon
but i had a Quick Question:
do any IDE extentions have to be for amiga? (like if i put in a CD Drive from a PC or an older Hard Disk)
also can i put in 1.44MB Floppies in here (even if i don't get the full 1.44 Megs, i just have a crap load of empty ones from the PC)
