If i had my harddrive/cf card accessible via the rear trapdoor that might work. Then if i put the wb 3.1 cf card in my pc would i be able to transfer files to it and then insert it back in the slot? Would the pc read the wb 3.1 card and allow files to be placed on it?

I am thinking of getting one of these... Basically if i can run d-paint or such and transfer 32 colour sprites/frames to the 1200 and make any needed adjustments there i should be good for now. Though an accelerator can be had for 150 euros online. Though i possibly need a specific monitor or old crt? I use a flatscreen at the moment.

Hah, and no i am not the mighty David Pleasance... I took the photo as an avatar years ago- always remembered David's name from back in the day. Believe it or not i got a private message from Petro Tyschtschenko a few years back... he evidently thought I was actually David as the message he sent confirmed it. lol.

Thanks, yes i got it working once i sorted the dos drivers bit. Thanks. Previously i also formatted it to the wrong file format.
So now i have it working but only can access i think 2 or 3 gigs. I will try formatting the card again to restore the 16 gigs.

I have an 020 accelerator incoming and I lucked into an old Crt telly locally. Soon I will have a decent set-up but will buy a vampire a1200 whenever I get notified.
