           AMIGA RULEZ FOREVER


   Not so long ago I myself had bought Amiga 600 already
with the hard drive on 60M, and because I want to here
the newspaper ZX-PILOT tell
its possibilities, ie that may 600-I model. In a comparison 
between the PC, I probably will choose the 386 model, while in 
case of emergency and 486, so as not to infuriate the trembling 
PC'shnika. 

   So go.

   To begin, I will tell you about all the devices that I was 
able to connect to its AMMY. Well, of course, the hard drive is 
connected via the 2,5 "shleyfik (NOTEBOOK'ovsky) which in our 
city a big deficit. Well naturally without CD'yuka as no legs, 
and screw on the AMMY no longer makes sense to hold, if there 
is sidyuk, everything can be stored on compact sets. Sidyuk 
fluster bottom Boards AMMY, ie had to unscrew the whole

AMIG'u. Drive on the AMMY 3,5 "is
side, ie the right side. Well, another
thing to remember is not even necessary - a printer that is 
freely connected to a standard input PARALLEL

PORT. Another poser with an educated bet I met when connecting 
to AMMY monitor. I EGA'shny AMSTRAD. In principle potykaya 
posting EDAS'om we all still find a hot spot and as a result 
AMIGA already showed on my monitor. For connecting music in 
AMIG'e have two AUDIO outputs for stereo sound, the whole 
thing, I hooked up to my amp, which I have already

full batsal Spek.

   But do not think that all these are my efforts
been in vain.

   Now I will tell you that all the same can
600-I model of Amiga and what it has prospects.

   After all these assemblies in front of me appeared the 
machine configuration: AMIGA 600 + 3,5 "FDD + HDD 60M + 2M RAM +

CD 6-X + PRINTER EPSON.

   On the hard drive I have already been recorded
All downloadable prog and more. In general,
AMIG'u running in front of me there was an operating system 
WORK BENCH, booting and install CD'yuk, there was a 5 icons:

RAM DISK, GAMES, WORKS, MAGIC WB, COMPACT
DISK, 3,5 DISK (blank). Fully russifitsirovat WB, with all the 
necessary commands, and even beyond that. 

   Throughout the five months work with AMIG'oy I
met one of Gluck, in all the work
multitasking. For example, I sat listening to
music, unpack a toy on a floppy disk and
display images on the screen using the viewer. And it's just 
AMIGA 600! 

   On a 386 PC (and even at 486), wait half an hour,
yet this WINDOWS loaded, and
WIN application also did not immediately loaded and
WORD'om brakes, the same PaintBrush'em.
;-) But for anything. But I drifted away from the topic.

   I will not deny that the AMIGA 600 inhibits in some cases. 
For example, some toys, or when all the RAM memory is jammed 
This multitasking. 

   As for software, then
this no problems, though for what to take, if Game'rstva, it is 
not easy Whether directly Sonia Play Station to buy? If money 
is not sorry and if you're a fool. Yes I spit on these 
thoughts, Kwak, dyuki ... With so happy I can go to any

Computer room or another and pogeymit
an hour the other.

   So, from software
of graphical editors, a Personal
Paint, much steeper than any there pisyuchnyh
super duper editors. If more and version
get the latest 6.0, the generally cool. From
Editors have 3D REAL 3D, generally krutnyak, prog 1993 and much 
steeper 3DsTUDIO on pC. And it works perfectly on 600 when this 
vile 3DS'ka even at 166 buggy and slow. From graphic abilities 
AMIG'i 600 is the fact that it nearly 4 thousand flowers, but I 
hasten to advise that the AMIG'e a viewer, which change

*. JPG images with 16 million colors, which I can view all the 
photos and the quality is not particularly worse, though, if 
the picture is big, dolgovato output. Basic graphics expansion 
AMIG'i a GIF, PCX, C, most bystrovyvodimy - ILBM. Although 
there is one FASTVIEW, who looks just about anything. Another 
very good editor, who has a lot of opportunities this IMAGEN. 
And what I'm telling you, it should be. 

   Let's talk about the musical possibilities.
Itself - is when I uploaded the first available player and 
modovsky (4 channel) Mouzon, I was on the brink of bliss - 
until that's cool sounds, and even with my stereo amp. Such 
quality at pC Well, I simply not heard, except on the AWE 64, 
and not very. In general, the quality Modovskih

Mouzon to 200%. Unfortunately all the other
Mouzon, which take up more channels
AMIG'e 600 sound worse, depending on the
number of channels. Well, for example up to 64 channels Mouzon 
will sound like on the AY of Speccy. Esche nothing sounds 
8-channel, in general, I still satisfied Mod'ami. From

music editors, most are good
a Pro-Tracker, Sound Tracker, and, incidentally,
very cool editor Octamed. Even at pC i
never seen such progsov such a fancy. |-O and Mouzon (its 
extension MED), made in the editor, occupying more than 
4-channel sound normally. 

   Unfortunately for AMiga 600 no Midi card, but it can deliver 
without any problems. Just Amiga can work in networks of 
Internet, Fido, AmigaNet. 

   From Amigovskih compacts I would say one thing.
Here comes pC'shnik to the store and wants to own
buy kompaktik with igruhami, worth more
poor man pays 40 rubles, and buys a book igruh, where most of 
them - shit, if you want cooler, then buys

50 rub. drive one-game type HEG and stuff. When amizhnik can 
buy the CD rubles for a 70-80 with 600-700 prog, where

There are games that almost all deserve
attention and sistemki and demos, and graphics, and
music and all that the soul will come. The only problem - it's 
an Amiga trade in your town. Hopefully in a year to fill this 
gap, and every city, there Amizhniki traders. 

   Yes, currently under the Amiga did not
written, but there is still the city and country
where available Amiga. By the way, are now in Malaysia, I 
think, produce accelerators and for the Amiga 600 and all 
brands Amigo in MINITOWER'e. Finally!


   And the toys - gam'ite on health,
there are plenty of games that are not on the pC and that
do much better than the pC.

   How to be climbing on The Internet
sites, there are a lot of Amiga software.
(Mostly in Ireland)

   With respect, I am with this computer
ate many pounds of salt and I want to say straight out that 
PC-MANIA does not suit me. 

   Who has any questions or any
suggestions on the Amiga, then write, I
will try to answer in the pages of newspapers
ZX-PILOT or Body.

   BE HAPPY, GOOD BYE.
