Steve how's it going? Looks like your having some fun getting everything working. that was my shock recently going from the emulators back to my hardware i've had on the shelf for years, trying to figure out OS settings, etc. Btw, the CF card / adapter from amigakit.com works great! I put it in my laptop, copy a bunch of files, ADF's, etc and it just shows up on the A1200. Plus they give you the software to re-write the ADF's to the amiga floppies. It's a great way to xfer files for now.
I just upgraded my A500 with a 3.1 Rom and the GVP A530 with a 4.15 ROM and a 4GB flash card to boot from. It's amazing to turn it on, and it's completely silent. The original SCSI Drive could be heard from 1/2 block away.
I found a used Indivision AGA for the 1200 and will post when it arrives. I have a old Dell 19" CRT to use with it for work, I think 1024x768 will look good on this screen. My 1200 was my last amiga from the 90's, but the A1000 and 500 were the first in the 80's, so i'm having a bit of fun with them now. it's a blast to see the 500 boot up with an 030 and CF card, very fast!!
