Kent is too far away from Oxford or I'd be there.

Why would you want a hard-modded xbox when you can softmod in 5 mins flat, and you'd never notice the difference?

MiniMig is a homebrew project. It's not ready for commercial release because it almost certainly a breech of copyright.

While several people have made their own PCB's using the existing designs, no one is selling them populated due to the amount of time, or money that would need to be invested.

I'd be interested in taking one of the A1200's off your hands, but it would need to be posted as I'm in Glasgow.

Judging by e-bay the going rate for postage seems to be about £12 if that helps any?

How much do you want for 1 1200?

If I were you, I'd keep some of it - even just the 1200+Accel or 3000 !
I managed to hang on to two 1200's and AmigaOne through 3 births !
my youngest has just moved into her own room, so I got a new desk with my bigbox amiga on, and a massive clearout headache - wife wants me to tidy up, but I dont want to chuck out ! suppose I could lose some of the books...
I think the trouble is that us blokes like to hoard (I have a crate FULL of liberated mains and data cables in th'outhouse) and wimmin like to tidy.

good luck with the new arrival !

Hi!,
    I'm in Southborough, Tunbridge Wells (Kent).
I'll be more than happy to buy for the asking price?

Regards
Fatboy

Well thanks for everyone’s help im in two minds ive seem to have underestimated the attention this lot would draw its not the room as I have a few out buildings they could be stored in but what’s the point on hoarding it away its not been used for a few good years and the only thing im likely to boot it up  for is a bit of  frontier and a few other games on a rainy day  The software will eventually degrade away  and it seems such a shame as I never realized the Amiga community was going strong and could make use of this stuff what I know in some cases this stuff would end up on one of my most Hated things for this kind of stuff is eBay being resold for a lot more than its being offered here  don’t know if I should let people cherry pick or sell as a lot  or make a quick buck on eBay Fat boy your very near but would prefer to do swaps with other retro gear or other interesting stuff people have as we all get things we want

My hobbies are-:

Vintage cars/hotrods
Drag racing
Arcade machines(JAMMA BOARDS)
Retro console/computers
Sat TV (DREAMBOX INFO)(MOSC/GLICHERS/INFO)
Also after that moded xbox

Come on people some one must have things I want cash seems so cold and hard this Amiga stuff was collect with love and pride and needs to go to a real loving tech head home

I have stacks of retro consoles. From Atari 2600's to Sega Dreamcast.

I'd be more than happy to do a swap?
