    after months (over a year maybe?) of my amiga abandoned since my previous
    crt monitor died, i finally have it working again with a new power supply
    to boot!

    a greaseweazle and the diskflashback utility on windows makes writing new floppies a breeze!! definitely recommend if you still use floppies with
    your miggy :)

    what have i missed? :D

    Not sure if you use tcp, but did you see new dctelnet?

    i saw there was a new release, but haven't checked it yet!
    i'm still on 1.5, there's quite a lot of new stuff i need to check out :)

    i am indeed on tcp, using an orinoco gold PCMCIA with this newfangled
    "wireless networking" that's all the rage now!

    Nice. I didn't set up the PCMCIA card in my Amiga because I was using one of those memory upgrades that would get cut in half if using that slot. But, I've got a different RAM/CPU upgrade now that I haven't installed yet. Not sure if it's the same limitation with that.

    oh yeah, i have the ACA620 which without PCMCIA can max out at about 10MB
    total memory i think. but if you enable PCMCIA, because of where it gets
    mapped in memory, you get limited to about 4MB i think?

    but since i don't really do much on my 600 other than ECS games and the occasional BBSing, i don't see why i need more than that :)
