Oh how I feel your pain! Getting my 286 setup and going has been similarly frustrating, unfortunately a lot of the pages that contain the knowledge and software four our favorite retro PC are slowly rotting away. I've had my share of frustration, having found a link to something interesting in a VCFed forum only to discover it's dead. Seem to be lots of zombie websites with dead links as well.

So what drew you to the Amiga then if don't mind me asking? I've gone the retro 286 PC route because that is the first computer my family had, what's your interest & what cool things are you planning to do/try with it?
