I'm not getting one of these A1200's (already have a couple of real Amigas), but it's really nice to see new-old-stock Amigas being opened again after all these years.  It's also nice to think that the Amiga community might be growing a (very) little bit with these.

Savour the moment, folks!  This is unlikely to ever happen again!

Finally got an answer from him on Facebook.
Couldn't be angrier than I'm now.

Quote:

"I do not actively ignore people, neither on Facebook nor in emails. But he who comes too late is punished by life."

WTF?!

How can he even claim that way when I still have his freaking email saying otherwise?

How can he be so dishonest?

I guess I'll have to leave the classic Amiga community for good.
Programming a game on WinUAE only to later find out that what I've just developed will not run on a real Amiga is just no fun.

He just replied a second time.

Apparently, he confused me with someone else when he replied to me earlier that day.
Sent me an apology and is now trying to find me an Amiga 1200.

Those things are hard to come by on the continent, unfortunately. Most of those seem to have ended up in the Americas and Britain.

Well, first report said 1,500 units. Then, 500. Now, 60?
Maybe they are melting during transport :D

1,500 is the number Petro quoted to me.
EDIT: 1,500 units, not 15,000.

3. Order could be placed on  amiga1200magic@gmail.com
4. I received more than 100 orders
5. So i started my allocation according the date of order income
6. All 60 units now allocated and 53 are also shipped after payment.
7. Price was 150 euro plus tax, shipping and packaging.
8. As it was alot of work on logistic and administration, i am very happy this project is over.
9. I am very relaxed and satisfied to have done this action for my beloved amiga comminity
10. Even for no profit, i am happy and just thinking to continuing a new non profit project.
11. Product availability will be in january 2013.
12. If you are interested to buy, please place your order under  amiga1200magic@gmail.com.

iirc I read somewhere that there was some minor issue with the floppy drives "on post Commodore" A1200's is this true of the 1995 vintage units and do these require "timing fixes" to run Jen's acceleration boards?

Thats correct.

From memory the AI A1200 used a higher capacity PC drive where as the C= A1200's used a regular double density drive.

AI A1200's are revision 2B which from what I can gather nearly always require timing fixes.
