I have a large pillow case folded up which covers an A600 fully, and like a small table cloth over my A1200. This is despite them already having dust covers. AmigaKit have some new ones in stock which I might take a look at. Although I'm sure they won't be as effective as a towel! What sort of towel do you use? I've been thinking of upgrading to a really thick towel or similar but you have to be aware of the weight pushing down on the keys...not good in the long term for the key springs.

White towels are the best as they reflect the light and keep the heat down!
By the way gizzy, you appear to have the same wireless card as me poking out of your A1200 there.

What is the model number of the PCMCIA wireless card?

These cards have different labels but identical model numbers. Some years back now I used the MA-401 with the gear coggs in the label and the man looking out over the blue sky (you'll see some on e-bay), but when the time came to upgrade it from WEP to WPA2 I just couldn't get it to work. I then bought another one but this time with the plain orangy yellow apricot type label (exactly like the one in gizzy's photo) and I upgraded the firmware in that to WPA2 without issue and it still works beautifully to this day. I don't have the particular details to hand but I'm pretty sure they were different in some way. I still have that old WEP card, and I might have another crack at it one day, but it's at the bottom of my to-do list.
