No, at VCF East 8.0 in 2012 we had a Indy, Octane, Indigo2 and an O2
networked playing BZFlag and Dogfight
This is a video of VCF and our setup at 56 seconds in.

That would be pretty cool. Brian has a personal Iris, but we turned it on
recently and blew up a capacitor.

Emulator to experience it.
No, while I would like one, I am running out of room.
I worked for an Amiga store called Amagination in the 90s and we had one.
I remember when it came out and we demoed it at Columbia University.
I was a huge Commodore/Amiga guy around that time.

card and then use the SCS2SD in my Amiga 3000 (not UX) to try and boot the
real thing again.
Thats cool. I mean there really wasn't much you could do with it that I
remember. But it was my first real intro to Unix.
