Hello! I have been a Amiga user since I got my A1000 in 1985 and ran a BBS on it (Citadel) till 1992 or so. Upgraded the A1000 to a A2000 and eventually a A3000 that I maxed the RAM on I was out of the Amiga scene for several years but I am back now.

I have set up a community for Amiga fans (first to admit that EAB, aminet, and lemonamiga are better) which includes a classifieds area where you can buy & sell items and downloads of things like manuals, emulators for Windows, games, etc. The site is https://amigacity.xyz and there is also a Amiga BBS for you to join at telnet://amigacity.xyz. Love to see you there!

Hi, I'm new here so please be kind.

I have owned this Amiga 1200 from new. When I got it out of storage everything seemed to work fine -once I had repaired the floppy drive.
The original hard drive still powered up and all was good except that the screen had thick vertical lines.
On the workbench screen there are 20 lines.
Just tried Turrican II AGA and there are 9 lines.

I have now sussed that these lines are only there when running in AGA or playing an AGA game. Normal older game play flawlessly.

The machine has been recapped and a flash drive put in to replace the original hard drive. There is an original A1200 8MB expansion from back in the 90's - battery still works! but the lines are there regardless of whether that is inserted or not.
The motherboard itself is very clean, doesn't get hot and hasn't been modified in any way.
The result is the same no matter what output or TV/monitor is used.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks for sharing this; it's excellent. I recently swapped to external desktop speakers from the built-in (very tinny) speakers in my screen and this sounds fantastic.

For me the biggest let down of the Amiga is that the last Commodore (and Escom) machines had exactly the same sound capabilities as the A1000; this demo is another great example of those capabilities being really pushed.

It runs nicely from my CF card attached to the build in IDE port which has a Sysinfo speed rating of about 1.8MB/Sec.

Thanks! Missed the live event. But will defo checkout the YouTube vid. 👍🏻
