Amiga 600 Demonstration

This is a little demonstration of my 1MB, 7Mhz Amiga 600 running through the new S-Video adapter from http://www.amigamaniac.com

My TV is pretty old, so it's not the best display demonstration, but you can see the colours come out nicely with no b

I just read on the BBC that Commodore USA is bringing out new Amigas this year!

@TheInformalstyle

These are not Amigas, they are simply PCs with a Commodore or Amiga badge on them. They don't even run Aros, the open source Amiga OS, and they were quite rude to the existing Amiga and Aros community.

That's great. The computer has to be older than you.

Sadly I sold off all my amiga stuff while it still had some value. But I've got the emulator and some old games I made.

[AmigaCammy]

Thanks, but I'm a few years older than the A600, I came out the same year the A1000 did, 1985. Have you ever released the games you made online? There's still a pretty active Amiga scene who really appreciate any new games and software that people make. Emulation has really helped keep the Amiga scene active, and convenient too!

1Mb?! Weird, I am sure my 2mb Chip A600 would tell me "out of memory" if I tried to open that many windows!

What screenmode are you in? Pal Hi Res: 640 x 256 x 8?

[AmigaCammy]

I'm not running anything that would eat much RAM. I have added an extra 1MB ChipRAM to it since I took this demo, and now I use it to go online, chat to friends on IRC and MSN, play MMORPGs (MUDs), check my email and read newsgroups.

I run in PAL 640x256x2, which is 4 colours. The A600 can't show 8bit screens. I have written a program in AmigaE that opens a locked-palette 640x512x4 (16 colours) screen which I will use for browsing the web once I get some extra Fast RAM.

@AmigaCammy yepp....evil inside the box-. that´s not a real Amiga. The worker from commodore working in different companies and they don´t have to do with this new "try to be an amiga shit".

They hope that this kind of machine would sell like the old Amiga. But this will never happens.

jumping cat - the reason to keep crt monitors.

[TheInformalstyle]

I used to have one of these when they came out.

I would never allow a cat to sit on my retro machines :-O Think of the hairs and dust and scratches........
