A very shortlived A1200

The only problems I ever had with my A1200 crashing was due to overheated trapdoor accelerator or connecting too many external devices. Solution to overheating, prop up the computer so there's air space under it for cooling. I used milk jug caps, worked just fine. Solution for the second thing, disconnect some, or get a bigger power supply.

Just a quick one, what motherboard revision do you have?

The 1D4 and 2B motherboards have problems with Apollo cards. You may need to do the timing mods (which I can't find at the moment).

I have an Apollo 1240/25 and it exhibited similar problems to your machine until I did the timing mods.

For power supply info, read this guide I wrote on Aminet

@redwolf:

OS4 is still being developed by Hyperion, and will be done 'when it's ready' as they say themselves :-). So there's no set release date. A Inc announced sometime last year that they would attend the CeBIT in Hannover to 'launch' (not release) OS4. But ofcourse A Inc cancelled that :roll:.

Anyway, the A1 is released (well at least the ones with soldered 600MHz G3s on them AFAIK). The A1XE should be at shops Really Soon Now (TM).

(I apologize if I sound a bit bitter :-)).

I have the 2B motherboard.  And a BlizzardPPC.
