Easy...

The SubWay USB Device
The FastATA MKII ATAPI/IDE 4 Way Buffered Interface
The Cocolino Mouse Adapter (especially for wireless mice)

The top of the line PPC/BVISION cards that let you play Wipeout 2097 like a Playstation on a humble looking A1200.

It has to be the Cyberstormppc and the BlizzardPPC accelerator boards... they gave new life to the Classic platform for a while & introduced the fastest SCSI controller for the classic (UWSCSI)... and technically speaking, they are awesome... this vote include the BlizzardVision and CybervisionPPC boards...

Cheers,

Dragster

Edit: 2nd on my list it has to be the Highway/Algor/Deneb USB boards fom E3B.. great quality, neat USB solution...

Minimig

Minimig took us all by suprise and I think it really is one of the brightest spots in the amiga community right now, as far as hardware anyway. An actually real, independantly developed, almost completely compatible a500 clone.

Freaking cool.

My Cyberstorm 2 and CV 64 combo. Meant my amiga ws my only computer for a decade longer than I otherwise would have. The only way to run Wordworth , Pagestream, ImageFX, Photogenics, Cinema 4D the way they are meant to be run. Rock solid reliability. And speed. With CGX 4. And now that I have an Indivision and an LCD monitor its the perfect Amiga for me.

Clockport USB boards would have to be number one. Thumb drives, external media, network, mouse, keyboard, printers, scanners, sound "cards" - and that's all on the humble Amiga!

Number two? Indivision - cheap SD/FFs? Lifesaver for many.

Number three? Hm. The ACA series of accelerator cards from Jens. I hear there's 2000 and 500 versions in the works.

Number four? MiniMig! And hopefully MiniMig AGA.

It has to be the PPC cards.
If I had to pick only one, then CSPPC for sure.

Hi,

No matter what the rest of these crazy Amiga people and Scotts say it has to be a high powered power supply, because without it you can't run anything with that stupid Amiga brick, or orig supply in the A4000.

the CD-Rom, ok so the CD-Rom drive was kind of around just when Commodore when bust and there is a bit of support for it in 3.1, and so of course their is the cdtv and cd32 but no official Cd-Rom drive for A4000 or A1200 machine and I for one dont think Amiga in the desktop line could of survived with out the Cd-Rom drive, so I say thanks to all the companies that made it happen.
