Wow, that's impressive!

Back in the day I had an Amiga 500 with a 3rd party IDE interface that I 
picked up late in the piece, so didn't get to play with much.

Since then I've added a few (3?) more 500's, an official HDD, 1000, 2x1200 
(one NOS), a spare 1200 mobo, a couple of 1200-compatible PCMCIA ethernet 
cards, and a 3000. At one point I had nine Commodore monitors but only 3 
survive - the others all failed in the same way. I also have way, way too 
many disks, some MIB software, two (different) copies of the software 
reference manual sets, Lattice C manuals, some programming books, a handful 
of star cursor joysticks, light gun, PS/2 mouse interface and other stuff 
I've forgotten about. The only thing I'm missing... is time to play with them!

Regards,
