I was playing Portal before most of you were even born.
Meh...

Did you order that a couple days ago or what? I remember you digging out an old PC for it's adapter just yesterday.JOIN ME, MTHR

I just got my PCMCIA CF adapter in the mail yesterday from Amigakit. I'm currently backing up my 80MB hard drive to it. I'm thinking about a wifi card next, then maybe an 030.
My big box of Amiga disks (it's very very big) is like going through a time capsule. Unfortunately most of the disks have that creeping grunge on the surface.. alcohol takes care of it, but it's a painstaking process.. I'm gonna build a disk cleaning rig with an old floppy drive I think.

That sounds ridiculously overcomplicated.Did you order that a couple days ago or what? I remember you digging out an old PC for it's adapter just yesterday.
At that point I had gotten the CF card from Amazon, the PCMCIA adaptor from Amigakit, and was able to dump stuff from my Amiga to the CF card.. but then.. HOW TO READ CF CARD ON MAC?!?!?
I should've bought a 4 dollar multicard reader when I ordered the CF from Amazon :/
I ended up using my ancient Gateway laptop (which has PC/PCMCIA slots) to mount the CF card and share it over my LAN to my Mac.
Which Amiga have you got? I remember A3000, correct me if I'm wrong.I just got my PCMCIA CF adapter in the mail yesterday from Amigakit. I'm currently backing up my 80MB hard drive to it. I'm thinking about a wifi card next, then maybe an 030.

That's awesome. Wait for an A1231, you won't regret it The 3.1 ROMs are a nice addition, which let you go the AmigaOS 3.5+ way. Keep in mind that you'd at least need 16MBs and a 030 for it.I have a 1200, which is my main machine, stock '020 with a 3.0 Kickstart ROM, expanded on the bottom with a ram/68881/clock card (1 simm slot w/8MB simm)
A 3000 with corrosion issues iirc, haven't used that in a very long time. It's a developer's system (one of the guys who worked on Lattice C owned it prior to me) so it's pretty maxed out.
Several A1000's in various states of repair, at least one of which runs fine.
I'm really liking the PCMCIA CF adapter, it was cheap and it works great. I may replace the hard drive with CF at some point to quiet the machine and give me more storage (I assume it'll be faster too but I'm not sure.)
I'd be REALLY happy to get this thing off of this 1084 14" monitor and onto a 20"+ LCD, so the Indivision sounds very nice.. I WANT. Obviously an '030 would make me happy too.
Actually the game was a bit boring, so I didn't even remember it's existence. I'm setting up my old Amiga though, and I was going through my huge box of disks, and I was like lulwhut? OH YEAH!
..no cake though
If I can get the game working, or find ADF's for it (it came on 3 disks and floppies suck) I'm gonna play through it just for grins.
