Yep! I have a TransWarp GS :P

Oh nice! That's sweet. What's the build details for that machine?

Oh cool gonna give this a call.

I have an obsession with retro hardware as I'm sure you've gathered lol. So I like the PiStorm project that basically just acts as a CPU accelerator on actual OG hardware.

There's also part of me that prefers running true 68k processors, so a lot of my Amiga gear has a legit 060 board :P

 pa> I have an ST that I haven't dug into yet... a 400 w/o any cartridges, and
 pa> needing some power supply love - but its on the horizon. :P

Nice! The ST is fun. Let me know if you need anything for it (files etc). There are fewer mods for these machines than the Amigas but that honestly just makes them easier to get set up.

 pa> I love to dive into these different platforms, learn the thing and
 pa> document it for future me... then, 6 months later... on to the next one. 

Same here lol. And honestly I don't /use/ some of my gear as much once it's set up, the journey of getting things built is half the fun for me.
