Hey guys. I'm currently exploring ways to gain access to my old Amiga software. Games are taking a backseat here though, as primarily I want to a way to run music software like OctaMED, Dr T's KCS, and Bars and Pipes. I still have an Amiga 1200 in good working condition, and could use that, but the necessity of using a special monitor, and the difficulty of things like file transfer and internet/networking ability have led me to look down different paths.
I've heard very good things about MorphOS, and I really like being able to bring my tiny Mac Mini back into productive service, so I'm wondering if anyone is using this productively and has any suggestions for easing me into this. I've already wiped my Mini and installed the "demo" which lasts for 30 minutes at a time. The OS is a bit on the expensive side (around US $150.00) and that'd be hard to drop if it's not a ringer for my needs.
So, any users with impressions? I'm honestly not expecting too much, but you guys have surprised me before, and as I understand it, there's still a semi-active Amiga base in the UK and Germany. So I thought I'd throw a line out and see.
