As it happens, I actually have an Amiga mouse for which there is no actual Amiga. Weird or what?

Well Chris, if ur willing to part with it, let me know how much ya want for it and whatever postage :)

Vosla, that link would be great too...

Plugged my Amiga upto the 42 inch plasma today, sadly a lot of the discs are starting to corrupt (sound / gfx), but a lot of the important stuff is still working a treat. Ive coupled it upto the DVD Writer, so ill be whizzing some old demo's off onto DVD.... Ironicly, the only one thats working 100% so far is Share & Enjoy's Amazing Tunes II !! ..... Oh ya, and Directory Opus.... but then, it has been like 13 years, ya cant expect miriacles.... Only hope the data on the hard drive is still ok or the SCSI CD Caddy wont mount....

Matrix - just making some enquiries. Might be able to get you one for free (we use Amiga's in our training aids) and I think we might have a mouse spare.

Let me know if you're still interested ASAP.

Okay Matrix - I've managed to aquire two ! So perhaps Infy would like one to replace his 'half working' jiggle mouse.

If either of you would like them sent on then contact me with full names and addresses - p & p should be free too because I'll be able to send them through work......(fingers crossed!)

My email is tomREMOVETHISSPAMSHITsk164@hotmail.com
and my works e-mail is barry.thomREMOVETHISSPAMSHITpson2@baesystems.com

Remove the offending upper case phrase :)

Cheers

Boz, are they SERIOUS... a £2.99 mouse for like £15 inc p&p ? thats CRAZY ! - and im unsure Shagrat/Pod/Pazza/Fish of LSD would be happy they are making a profit from their docs discs too.

> a £2.99 mouse
If no one is selling it at £2.99 any more, it's not a £2.99 mouse...

Supply and demand...

yeap alot of amiga stuff can now come at totally extortionate prices.. i dread the day the graphic card packs up or the scsi port thingy (yes i am so technical i know ^^) .. id expect to be fleeced repeatedly for it all.. its just whether you feel its worth it.

which i personally do.. id spend 5/6k on my amiga if i had it i really would.. love it :D

oh and @tomsk cheers dude.. mail sent.

Infy - can you email me at my works address. Makes things a lot easier since I'm actually receiving them at work - and then sending them on.

Cheers :)

Matrix - Glad you like it.

There is one thing you may be able to help with. I bought the Amiga emulator (UAE) but have not been able to get my joystick (zipstick with PCB adaptor) to work - rendering the greatest game of all - Kick off 2, useless.

Do you know if these USB joysticks work (discussed recently) with UAE or do you know anyone runnign UAE who has worked around the joystick support issue.

Thanks
