I agree!

I am desperate for an A500 IDE adapter - I don't want a GVP SCSI - and the IDE adapters are very rare.

It would be nice to see a forum dedicated to this.

The below are just general guidelines and it is neither the TOS nor is it the Statement of Intent. If you want to read up on the TOS, go -> here /Orgin

Despite making this site's stance clear, some individuals with sole interests in alternative Amiga OS like platforms are signing up to amigans.net

Once more, in case it has not been noted, this site is primarily for the promotion and support of AmigaOS4 (and hopefully beyond), with a look back to classic users and emulation.

We do not need to be preached/evangalised about how good other alternatives are - "Not today thank you"

There are plenty of other web portals out there which cater for people who want to know about these platforms.

We don't need antagonists on this webportal and we reserve the right to membership.


Original Post follows.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, thank you all for joining. We are very glad you came. Hopefully you'll stay too.

Couple of things I would like to share with you if I may.

1: This site is for the promotion and support of AmigaOS4 and beyond Only (inc assosciated hardware).
We will also support/welcome AOS3.x & Emulation users as well. (But not promote OS3.x for obvious reasons)

2: This site will NOT be an open house to other platforms.
I urge you all to read the Terms of Service on the LEFT to see that our Terms of Service here are very different to elsewhere.

3: Whilst this is a site geared towards OS4 and beyond, we will not tolerate the slagging off/putting down of other platforms or OS's on this webportal, nor individuals.

4: Trolls from other sites will not be welcome on this site, if anyone trolls on this site, action will be taken immediately. Do not try our patience as we have none.

5: We reserve the right as to who is allowed to use this site. Usage/Posting of this site is a privilage not a right. (See Terms of Service)

Finally, We ask each of you to tell any other OS4/OS3 user about the site and invite them onboard.


Do not feed the trolls elsewhere and do not post about this site on any other amiga related web portal.

If during the course of a forum discussion, someone asks where we are, pm them privately and tell them, as long as they meet our criteria, i.e. OS4/Classic/Emulation user, they are welcome

Thank you, enjoy this site.

I'll keep it simple...

NO POLLS

Poles are allowed though, we need something to tie the trolls to when we burn them

?Rant?
IBrowse and AWeb combined... WHat a discusting thought, I'm very happy with IBrowse, it's has had many features for years that 'modern' browsers are only just adding, it's small and fast, it doesn't matter that it's only 68k, which some idiots seem to think makes it unuasble, remember the 'I use aweb it's native' stuff on AW? I've done tests, IB is a fraction of a second slower on most pages, actually faster on some.

Then consider the GUI... AWeb sucks...

m3x (Massimiliano Tretene) registered here today, he is one of the people behind the Samantha board, here is his website.

I got one for my A600 on Ebay for $20 plus postage.

It was 3Gb and it works a treat!

I would check out Ebay if I were you.

I have been using my A500 recently.

I found my trusty old A1200 in the garage and was shocked to find it had turned a nasty yellow colour.
It looked like it has the Amiga equivilent of Liver schlerosis.

Does anyone know if or how it's possible to get rid of the yellow?

I did that with my A500, but my wife wasnt very happy about it ;)

there never was any zico format machines as such, the design was left on the drawing board IIRC.

I only just heard about it today!

It looks great so far.

Is this site mainly for zico format machines?

hmmm... White dog poo again...

ok, it does exist, feed any dog on bones and they lay white eggs...

The meat on the bones is totally digested all that's left is the calcium...

White dog poo in urban areas is very rare as people feed their dogs on dog food now, not bones and scraps as they did years ago.

or just save your money and use the psu as a door stop and nail the 1200 to the wall as modern art

Have you got any small indepenant computer repair shops near you? they normally have a back room full of old wrecks they use for spares, you can usually get old drives from places like that really cheap, I got a 2gb hd for my mums A1200 by buying an old laptopwith a smashed screen for ?2 that way.

@ssolie et all

If this issue turns into an argument it will be severly moderated.

Pussy is never off topic

I'll trundle over to morphzone and ann.lu then

@MichaelMerkel

I've posted your report on the Beta ML, now we just wait and see what the consensus is.
